the likely direction of the bias.

Corn variety 1yielded 140bushels per acre last year at a research farm. This year, corn

variety 2, planted in the same location, yielded only 110bushels per acre. Based on these

results, is it reasonable to conclude that corn variety 1is more productive than corn variety

2?

a. Yes, because 140bushels per acre is greater than 110bushels per acre.

b. Yes, because the study was done at a research farm.

c. No, because there may be other differences between the two years besides the corn

variety.

d. No, because there was no use of a placebo in the experiment.

e. No, because the experiment wasn鈥檛 double-blind.

Your statistics class has 30students. You want to ask an SRS of 5students from your class whether they use a mobile device for the online quizzes. You label the students 01,02,...,30. You enter the table of random digits at this line: 1445926056314248037165103622532249061181

Your SRS contains the students labeled

a. 14,45,92,60,56

b. 14,31,03,10,22

c. 14,03,10,22,22

d.14,03,10,22,06
