In fall 2019, students in the 2 p.m. section of my Data Analysis class had an average height of 66.6 inches, while the average height in the 5 p.m. section was 64.6 inches. Are the average heights of the two sections significantly different at 10% level of significance? Assume the the standard deviation of both populations are unknown but equal. Here are the data:

In a study of memory recall, ten students from a large statistics and data analysis class were selected at random and given 15 minutes to memorize a list of 20 nonsense words. Each was asked to list as many of the words as he or she could remember both 1 hour and 24 hours later. The data are as shown in Table 1. Is there evidence to suggest the mean number of words recalled after 1 hour exceeds the mean...
