There are two types of farming tractors on the market, the FT250 and the FT500. The only difference between the two is that the FT250 is more prone to accidents than the FT500. Over their lifetime, 1 in 10 FT250s is expected to result in an accident, as compared to 1 in 25 FT500s. Further, 1 in 1,000 FT250s is expected to result in a fatal accident, as compared to only 1 in 5,000 FT500s. The FT250 sells for $125,000 while the FT500 sells for $137,000. At these prices, 2,000 of each model are purchased each year. What is the statistical value farmers place on avoiding a tractor accident? What is the statistical value of a life of a farmer?

If the preceding 50% rates were each reduced to 40% by a massive education program, then what effect would this change have on the overall mortality rate among true hypertensives; that is would the mortality rate decrease and, if so, what percentage of deaths among hypertensives could be prevented by the education program?
The owner of a chain of mini-markets wants to compare the sales performance of two of her stores, Store 1 and Store 2. Though the two stores have been comparable in the past, the owner has made several improvements to Store 1 and wishes to see if the improvements have made Store 1 more popular than Store 2. Sales can vary considerably depending on the day of the week and the season of the year, so she decides to eliminate such effects by making sure to record each store's sales on the same sample of days. After choosing a random sample of 8 days, she records the sales (in dollars) for each store on these days, as shown in the table below. Based on these data, can the owner conclude, at the 0.05 level of significance, that the mean daily sales of Store 1 exceeds that of Store 2? Answer this question by performing a hypothesis test regarding μd (which is μ with a letter "d" subscript), the population mean daily sales difference between the two stores. Assume that this population of…
