A hydrologist wants to compare the mean monthly precipitation at 2 different hydrological monitoring stations. He randomly collected the monthly precipitation at each station, and the data are provided: Station 1: 118.78, 37.03, 75.78, 97.42, 121.90, 68.52, 49.07, 125.66, 104.94, 75.34, 60.87, 70.28 Station 2: 82.94, 103.51, 70.73, 176.38, 55.73, 138.61, 100.55, 176.87, 37.62, 78.40, 86.49, 93.05 Choose the most appropriate method to evaluate whether the 2 stations have the same mean monthly precipitation. Include the steps of hypothesis testing. Do this question by hand. Data Source: US Geological Survey, unit: mm.

A farmer has four different varieties of maize, and wants to compare their efficacy. He recognises however that output produced depends not only on the variety of maize, but also on the plot of land used for growing. He arranges an experiment in which quantity of each variety is planted on each of the five one acre plots. This means that the sample size n is 5 while the number of treatments K is 4. The yield is counted and...
