Use the crop yields (in pounds per acre) from the samples of regular seed & kiln-dried seed listed in the table below to answer the following questions.

Regular	1903	1935	1910	2496	2108	1961	2060	1444	1612	1316	1511
Kiln Dried	2009	1915	2011	2463	2180	1925	2122	1482	1542	1443	1535

Use an equation editor to formulate the null and alternative hypothesis to test the claim “Kiln dried seed is substantially different than regular seed.”

b. Construct a randomization distribution in StatKey to test the above hypothesis. Take at least 1000 samples. Take a screenshot of your StatKey page, and paste it below. (Your graph will differ from other students.) Statkey is a website which is free to use for graphing statistics

c. Find and interpret the p-value in regards to the hypothesis and claim.

Expert Solution

(a) The hypothesis being tested is:

H₀: µ₁ = µ₂

H₁: µ₁ ≠ µ₂

(b) The statkey output is:

(c) t = -218.57/145.963 = -1.50

The p-value is 0.1499.

Since the p-value (0.1499) is greater than the significance level (0.05), we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, we cannot conclude that Kiln dried seed is substantially different than regular seed.

Crop yields per acre depend on many variables, but two obvious ones are fertilizer and weed control. In an effort to test the effects of various levels of fertilizer and of herbicide, researchers selected six plots of land and subdivided each into eight pieces. Each of the eight pieces of each plot was treated with one of the eight combinations of fertilizer (none, light, moderate, heavy) and herbicide (none, some). The per acre yields of each piece of land are...

A farmer is going to divide her 60 acre farm between two crops. Seed for crop A costs $20 per acre. Seed for crop B costs $40 per acre. The farmer can spend at most $2200 on seed. If crop B brings in a profit of $320 per acre, and crop A brings in a profit of $140 per acre, how many acres of each crop should the farmer plant to maximize her profit?

The average production of peanuts in Virginia is 3000 pounds per acre. A new plant food has been developed and is tested on 59 individual plots of land. The mean yield with the new plant food is 3093 pounds of peanuts per acre, and the population standard deviation is 578 pounds. At a = 0.01, can you conclude that the average production has increased? I don't understand how to work this problem.

When Farmer Hoglund applies N pounds of fertilizer per acre, the marginal product of fertilizer is 1 -N/200 bushels of corn. If the price of corn is $4 per bushel and the price of fertilizer is $1.20 per pound, then how many pounds of fertilizer per acre should Farmer Hoglund use in order to maximize his profits?
