The weight gain of women during pregnancy has an important effect on the birth weight of their children. If the weight gain is not adequate, the infant is more likely to be small and will tend to be less healthy. In a study conducted in two countries, weight gains (in kilogram) of women during the third trimester of pregnancy were measured. The results are summarized in the following table. Country n ȳ s2 Egypt 6 3.8 5.76 Kenya 10 3.3...

A researcher is interested in determining whether the illumination level in a room affects how quickly clients can be put into a trance. The time (in seconds) it took for five clients to go into a trance when it was done in a room that was lit with low light was measured, as was the time it took for the same clients to go into a trance in a brightly lit room. The theory being tested does not predict which...
