Bobby took a random sample of 1000 trees to test for bug infestation. He found that there were 112 infested trees. Does this sample provide significant evidence that more than 10% of trees are infested? Use a significance level of α = 0.01. Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of infested trees.

Bob the Quality Control Engineer is studying the heights of the apple trees grown in Tallula's orchard. He wants to test the null hypothesis that the population mean height of the trees is 18 m against the alternative hypothesis that the population mean height of the trees is less than 18 m. He studies a sample of 6 trees and finds the sample mean height to be 16.4 m with a sample standard deviation of 1.1 m. He will test...

A friend has performed a significance test of the null hypothesis that two means are equal. His report states that the null hypothesis is rejected in favor of the alternative the first mean is larger than the second. In a presentation on his work, he notes that the first sample mean was larger than the second mean and this is why he chose this particular one-sided alternative. (a) Explain what is wrong with your friend's procedure and why. We should...
