Cloud seeding has been studied for many decades as a weather modification procedure. The rainfall in acre feet from 20 clouds that were selected at random and seeded with silver nitrate follows: 18.0, 30.7, 19.8, 27.1, 22.3, 18.8, 31.8, 23.4, 21.2, 27.9, 31.9, 27.1, 25.0, 24.7, 26.9, 21.8, 29.2, 34.8, 26.7, 31.6
a) Is there evidence that the mean rainfall from seeded clouds exceeds 25 acre-feet? (1 pt)
b) If the true mean rainfall is 27 acre-feet, what is the probability of the test to indicate that the mean rainfall exceeds 25 acre-feet with a type-I error probability of 0.01? (1 pt)
c) If the true mean rainfall is 27.5 acre-feet, what sample size would be required if you want the test to correctly indicate 90% of the time that the mean rainfall exceeds 25 acre-feet with a type-I error probability of 0.01?

A new operator was recently assigned to a crew of workers who perform a certain job. From the records of the number of units of work completed by each worker each day last month, a sample of size five was randomly selected for each of the two experienced workers and the new worker. At the α = .05 level of significance, does the evidence provide sufficient reason to reject the claim that there is no difference in the amount of work done by the three workers?

There is concern that the Type 2 diabetes drug Avandia raises the risk of having a heart attack. The general population of people with Type 2 diabetes has a 20.2% chance of heart attack within 7 years. In a random sample of 4,485 people with Type 2 diabetes and who used Avandia, 28.9% of these individuals had a heart attack within 7 years. If researchers want to compute the z-test for this data, what assumption should they check?
A) because the sample size is large enough, they dont have to check any assumptions
B)They Need to check both 4485 x .202 and 4485 x (1-.202) are at least 10

A project based on touch therapy is presented at a science fair
by a local high school student. In the study, practitioners of
touch therapy are blindfolded to see if they can detect a "human
energy field (HEF)" without touching patients. The student believes
that a practitioner with less years of experience predicts more
correct choices to detect HEF. What can be concluded with α =
0.01?
