An agronomist wanted to compare the yield of three different varieties of rice (A, B, C). So, within a field, he randomly assigned each variety to five plots. The yield[s] in pounds per acre were recorded for each plot. (a) What is the response in the study? (b) What is the factor in the study? What are the factor levels? (c) What are the treatments? What are the blocks, if any? (d) What are the experimental units in the study? How many are there in total? (e) What is the name of the design of this experiment? (Single factor, two-factor, block) (f) Outline the design of the experiment.

(a) If tossing 100 coins, how many ways (microstates) are there to get the three most likely macrostates of 49 heads and 51 tails, 50 heads and 50 tails, and 51 heads and 49 tails? (b) What percent of the total possibilities is this?
How profitable are different sectors of the stock market? One way to answer such a question is to examine profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. A random sample of 32 retail stocks such as Toys 'R' Us, Best Buy, and Gap was studied for x1, profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. The result was x1 = 14.0. A random sample of 36 utility (gas and electric) stocks such as Boston Edison, Wisconsin Energy, and Texas Utilities was studied for x2, profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. The result was x2 = 10.3. Assume that ?1 = 4.5 and ?2 = 3.0. (a) Categorize the problem below according to parameter being estimated, proportion p, mean ?, difference of means ?1 – ?2, or difference of proportions p1 – p2. Then solve the problem. p1 – p2?1 – ?2 ?p (b) Let ?1 represent the population mean profit as a percentage of stockholder equity for retail stocks, and let ?2 represent the population mean profit as a percentage of stockholder equity for utility stocks.

How profitable are different sectors of the stock market? One way to answer such a question is to examine profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. A random sample of 32 retail stocks was studied for x1, profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. The result was x1 = 13.2. A random sample of 33 utility (gas and electric) stocks was studied for x2, profit as a percentage of stockholder equity. The result was x2 = 10.0. Assume ?1 = 4.2 and ?2 = 2.6. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some cases, this choice will increase the P-value by a small amount or increase the length of the confidence interval, thereby making the answer slightly more "conservative." (a) Let ?1 represent the population mean profit as a percentage of stockholder equity for retail stocks, and let ?2 represent the population mean profit as a percentage of stockholder equity for utility stocks. Find a 95% confidence interval for ?1 − ?2.…
