1. ) An instructor believes that students do not retain as much information from a lecture on a Friday compared to a Monday. To test this belief, the instructor teaches a small sample of college students some preselected material from a single topic on statistics on a Friday and on a Monday. All students received a test on the material. The differences in exam scores for material taught on Friday minus Monday are listed in the following table.
| Difference
Scores (Friday − Monday) |

(a) Find the confidence limits at a 95% CI for these related
samples. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

(b) Can we conclude that students retained more of the material
taught in the Friday class?
Yes, because 0 lies outside of the 95% CI.No, because 0 is contained within the 95% CI.

to hours per day
(b) Suppose the null hypothesis states that students listen to 3.5
hours of music per day. What would the decision be for a two-tailed
hypothesis test at a 0.05 level of significance?
Retain the null hypothesis because the value stated in the null hypothesis is within the limits for the 95% CI.Reject the null hypothesis because the value stated in the null hypothesis is outside the limits for the 95% CI. Reject the null hypothesis because the value stated in the null hypothesis is within the limits for the 95% CI.Retain the null hypothesis because the value stated in the null hypothesis is outside the limits for the 95% CI.

In an evaluation of progress, made to 400 managers, the average of the scores was 70 and its standard deviation was 8.0, what is the probability that, if we select a manager at random (among the 400 that were evaluated ), did he get 70 or more?

Baseball's World Series is a maximum of seven games, with the winner being the first team to win four games. Assume that the Atlanta Braves and the Minnesota Twins are playing in the World Series and that the first two games are to be played in Atlanta, the next three games at the Twins' ballpark, and the last two games, if necessary, back in Atlanta. Taking into account the projected starting pitchers for each game and the home field advantage, the probabilities of Atlanta winning each game are as follows:
| Game | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Probability of Win | 0.7 | 0.45 | 0.49 | 0.55 | 0.47 | 0.45 | 0.6 |
Set up a spreadsheet simulation model for which whether Atlanta
wins or loses each game is a random variable. What is the
probability that the Atlanta Braves win the World Series? If
required, round your answer to two decimal places.
What is the average number of games played regardless of winner? If
required, round your answer to one decimal place.

Loaded die: the author drilled a hole in a die and filled it with a lead weight, then proceeded to roll it 180 times. The results are given in the frequency distribution in the margin. Construct the frequency distribution for the outcome you would expect from a die that is perfectly fair and unbiased. Does the loaded die appear to differ significantly from a fair die that has not been "loaded."

Iron-deficiency anemia is the most common form of malnutrition in developing countries, affecting about 50% of children and women and 25% of men. Iron pots for cooking foods had traditionally been used in many of these countries, but they have been largely replaced by aluminum pots, which are cheaper and lighter. Some research has suggested that food cooked in iron pots will contain more iron than food cooked in other types of pots. One study designed to investigate this issue compared the iron content of some Ethiopian foods cooked in aluminum, clay, and iron pots. Foods considered were yesiga wet', beef cut into small pieces and prepared with several Ethiopian spices; shiro wet', a legume-based mixture of chickpea flour and Ethiopian spiced pepper; and ye-atkilt allych'a, a lightly spiced vegetable casserole. Four samples of each food were cooked in each type of pot. The iron in the food is measured in milligrams of iron per 100 grams of cooked food. The data are shown in the table below.
| Iron Content (mg/100 g) of Food Cooked in Different Pots | |||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type of pot | Meat | Legumes | Vegetables | ||||||||||||
| Aluminum | 1.77 | 2.36 | 1.96 | 2.14 | 2.40 | 2.17 | 2.41 | 2.34 | 1.03 | 1.53 | 1.07 | 1.30 | |||

(a) Make a table giving the sample size, mean, and standard deviation for each type of pot. Is it reasonable to pool the variances? Although the standard deviations vary more than we would like, this is partially due to the small sample sizes, and we will proceed with the analysis of variance.
(b) Plot the means. Give a short summary of how the iron
content of foods depends upon the cooking pot.
This answer has not been graded yet.
(c) Run the analysis of variance. Give the ANOVA table, the
F statistics with degrees of freedom and
P-values, and your conclusions regarding the hypotheses
about main effects and interactions.
