A farmer has decided to use a new additive to grow his crops. He divided his farm into 10 plots and kept records of the corn yield (in bushels) before and after using the additive. The before (first row) and after (second row) results from the 10 different plots are shown below. Corn Yield Before 9 9 8 7 6 8 5 9 10 11 After 10 9 9 8 7 10 6 10 10 12 You wish to test...

A farmer compared the corn he grew on fields A and B. First he tested whether the mean height of the corn was the same on the two fields, he calculated a p-value of 0.93. Next he tested whether the mean sugar concentration of the corn was the same on the two fields, he calculated a p-value of 0.31. Since the first p-value is greater than the second p-value, the farmer concluded that there is more evidence to support the...

1a A farmer uses a lot of fertilizer to grow his crops. The farmer’s manager thinks fertilizer products from distributor A contain more of the nitrogen that his plants need than distributor B’s fertilizer does. He takes two independent samples of four batches of fertilizer from each distributor and measures the amount of nitrogen in each batch. Fertilizer from distributor A contained 30 pounds per batch and fertilizer from distributor B contained 25 pounds per batch. Suppose the population standard...

A farmer must decide what crops to grow on a 300-hectare tract of land. He can grow oats, wheat, or barley, which yield 50, 100 and 80 kg/hectare (respectively) and sell for $1.00, $0.80, and $0.60 per kg (respectively). Production costs (fertilizer, labor, etc.) are $40, $50, and $40 per hectare for growing oats, wheat and barley, respectively. Government regulations restrict the farmer to a maximum of 150 hectares of wheat and his crop rotation schedule requires that he plants...

Tomato weights and Fertilizer: Carl the farmer has three fields of tomatoes, on one he used no fertilizer, in another he used organic fertilizer, and the third he used a chemical fertilizer. He wants to see if there is a difference in the mean weights of tomatoes from the different fields. The sample data is given below. The second table gives the results from an ANOVA test. Carl claims there is a difference in the mean weight for all tomatoes...
