Discuss the below:
Q1. Two groups of 15 plants were grown under the same controlled conditions, but each group was treated with a different fertilizer. The results for the differences in plant size are: Ed =314, Ed^2=26513.38. At a 2% significance level, is there a significant difference between the fertilizers?
Q2. A sample of 94 students at a community college was taken to determine information about commuting distances to school. Sixty-four students reported commuting distances of more than 5 miles. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students,p, who commute more than 5 miles?
Q3. The director of human resources in a corporation believes that the distribution of education levels among new employees is the same as among new hires two years ago. The distributions are as follows:
Distribution two years ago
Education level/Percent
High School -25.7%
College 2 years - 29.5%
College 4 years - 37.0%
Graduate - 7.8%
Distribution this year
Education level/Observed
High School - 18
College 2 years - 49
College 4 years - 48
Graduate - 13
Test the hypothesis at a 10% significance level.
Q4. Given the following statistics:
Ex=270, Ey=3023, Exy=94,123, Ex2= 8316, n=9, SST=79,444.9, SSR=54,562.4,
SSE= 24,882.5
