The Federal Bureau of Prisons publishes data in Prison Statistics on the times served by prisoners released from federal institutions for the first time. Independent random samples of released prisoners in the fraud and firearms offense categories yielded the following information on time served, in months.

At the significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the meantime served for fraud is less than that for firearms offenses? (Note: , and .)
Wing Length. D. Cristol al. published results of their studies of two subspecies of dark-eyed juncos in the article "Migratory Dark-Eyed Juncos, Junes Hyemalix, Have Better Spatial Memory and Denser Hippocampal Neurons than Nommigrtory Conspecifics" Animal behavior, Vol, 66, pp. 317-328). One of the subspecies migrates each year, and the other does not migrate. Several
physical characteristics of 14 binds of each subspecies were measured, one of which was wing length. The following data, based on results obtained by the researchers, provide the wing lengths, in millimeters (mm) for the samples of two subpecies.:
The intent is to employ the sample data to perform a hypothesis test to compare the means of the two populations from which the data were obtained. In each case, decide which of the procedures should be applied.

Data on household vehicle miles of travel (VMT) are compiled annually by the Federal Highway Administration and are published in the National Household Travel Survey, Summary of Travel Trends. Independent random samples of midwestern households and southern households provided the following data on last year's VMT, in thousands of miles.

At the significance level, does there appear to be a difference in last year's mean VMT for midwestern and southern households? (Note: , and .)
