Two types of phone operating system are being tested to determine
if there is a difference in the proportions of system failures (crashes). Fifteen out of a random sample of 150 phones with had system failures within the first eight hours of operation. Nine out of another random sample of 150 phones with had system failures within the first eight hours of operation. is believed to be more stable (have fewer crashes) than .
What can you conclude about the two operating systems?

Use the following information to answer the next five exercises. The mean speeds of fastball pitches from two different baseball pitchers are to be compared. A sample of 14 fastball pitches is measured from each pitcher. The populations have normal distributions. Table 10.18 shows the result. Scouters believe that Rodriguez pitches a speedier fastball.
