Bergman et al. conducted a study to determine, among other things, the impact that scheduling recess before or after the lunch period has on wasted food for students in grades three through five. Results were published in the online article "The Relationship of Meal and Recess Schedules to Plate Waste in Elementary Schools" (Journal of Child Nutrition and Management, Vol. 28, Issue 2). Summary statistics for the amount of food wasted, in grams, by randomly selected students are presented in the following table.

At the significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that, in grades three through five, the mean amount of food wasted for lunches before recess exceeds that for lunches after recess?

Discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of using pooled and non pooled -procedures.
A hypothesis test is to be performed to compare the means of two populations, using a paired sample. The sample of 15 paired differences contains an outlier but otherwise is roughly bell-shaped. Assuming that it is not legitimate to remove the outlier, which test is better to use-the paired t-test or the paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test? Explain your answer,
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.:
