Question
two different options are under consideration for comparing the lifetimes of 3 brands of flashlight batteries, using 18 flashlights.
a)one option is to randomly divide 18 flashlights into 3 groups of 6 flashlights each and than randomly assign each group to use a different brand of battery. would this statistical design be completely randomized design or a randomized block design? explain
b) another option is to use 18 flashlights- 6 different brands of 3 flashlights each and randomly assign the 3 flashlights of each brand to use a different brand of battery. would this statistical design be completely randomized design or a randomized block design? explain

- A banana grower has three fertilizers from which to choose. He would like to determine which fertilizer produces banana trees with the largest yield (measured in pounds of bananas produced). The banana grower has noticed that there is a difference in the average yields of the banana trees depending on which side of the farm they are planted (South Side, North Side, West Side, or East Side), therefore, a randomized block design is used in the study. Because of the variation in yields among the areas on the farm, the farmer has decided to randomly select three trees within each area and then randomly assign the fertilizers to the trees. After harvesting the bananas, he calculates the yields of the trees within each of the areas. Can the banana grower conclude that there is a significant difference among the average yields of the banana trees for the three fertilizers? The results are as follows.

He will test each combination of temperature and sunlight by randomly assigning 15 plants to each of the combinations.

To test this statement, NASCAR took a random sample of 115 of the new racecar engines and 120 of the old engines. They found that 12 of the new racecar engines and 9 of the old engines failed due to overheating during the test. Does NASCAR have enough evidence to reject the manufacturer's claim about the new racecar engine? Use a significance level of α=0.1 for the test. Step 1 of 6 : State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Step 2 of 6 : Find the values of the two sample proportions, pˆ1p^1 and pˆ2p^2. Round your answers to three decimal places.
