Two coworkers commute from the same building. They are interested in whether or not there is any variation in the time it takes them to drive to work. They each record their times for commutes. The first worker’s times have a variance of . These coworkers' times have a variance of . The first worker thinks that he is more consistent with his commute times. Test the claim at the % level. Assume that commute times are normally distributed. What is s in this problem?
What is the Mean Square Error?
Three students, Linda, Tuan, and Javier, are given five laboratory rats each for a nutritional experiment. Each rat’s weight is recorded in grams. Linda feeds her rats Formula A, Tuan feeds his rats Formula B, and Javier feeds his rats Formula C. At the end of a specified time period, each rat is weighed again and the net gain in grams is recorded.
| Linda's rats | Tuan's rats | Javier's rats |
Determine whether or not the variance in weight gain is statistically the same among Javier’s and Linda’s rats. Test at a significance level of
As part of an experiment to see how different types of soil cover would affect slicing tomato production, Marist College students grew tomato plants under different soil cover conditions. Groups of three plants each had one of the following treatments
• bare soil
• a commercial ground cover
• black plastic
• straw
• compost
All plants grew under the same conditions and were the same variety. Students recorded the weight (in grams) of tomatoes produced by each of the plants:
| Bare: | Ground cover: | Plastic: | Straw: | Compost: |
| 2625 | 5348 | 6583 | 7285 | 6277 |
| 2997 | 5682 | 8560 | 6897 | 7818 |
| 4915 | 5482 | 3830 | 9230 | 8677 |
