A farmer has decided to use a new additive to grow his crops. He divided his farm into 10 plots and kept records of the corn yield (in bushels) before and after using the additive. The results are shown below. You wish to test the following hypothesis at the 5 percent level of significance. H0: μd = 0 against H1: μd ≠ 0. What is the value of the appropriate test statistic?
a. 2.536
b. 2.033
c. 5.014
d. 1.584
Ans: Here we can use the paired t- test as
But the information regarding
and sample standard deviation of deviations i.e S is missing, if
we have thesevalues we can use the following formula as
t=dbar/(S/sqrt(n)) which follows t- distribution with n-1 d.f.

Assume that you want to test the claim that the paired sample data come from a population for which the mean difference is μd = 0. Compute the value of the t test statistic. Round intermediate calculations to four decimal places as needed and final answers to three decimal places as needed. A farmer has decided to use a new additive to grow his crops.

Suppose a farmer has several plots of land on which he can grow wheat or corn. The following table lists his options for production: Option Wheat Corn A 100 0 B 80 35 C 60 65 D 40 85 E 20 105 F 0 110 a) Construct a graph of the farmer’s PPF with corn on the Y-axis and wheat on the X-axis. Plot points A through F on the PPF. b) What is the opportunity cost of an additional...
Use the following information for questions 27 – 29. Bill is a corn farmer in the Texas Panhandle. He has a 10 year average corn production of 25,000 bushels on his farm. At no time in the past 5 years has that production dropped below 15,000 bushels. On March 5, Bill notices the December CBOT corn futures are trading at $4.178 per bushel. This is a much higher price than Bill has seen in the past and he wants to...
