They have three assembly lines, “Razor,” “Blazer,” and “Tracer,” named after the particular dune buggy models produced on those lines. Each assembly line was originally designed using the same target production rate. However, over the years, various changes have been made to the lines. Accordingly, management wishes to determine whether the assembly lines are still operating at the same average hourly production rate. Production data (in dune buggies/hour) for the last eight hours are as follows. (You may find it useful to reference the F table.)

The grapevines must be sprayed at the beginning of the growing season to protect against various insects and diseases. Two new insecticides have just been marketed: Pernod 5 and Action. To test their effectiveness, three long rows were selected and sprayed with Pernod 5, and three others were sprayed with Action. When the grapes ripened, 390 of the vines treated with Pernod 5 were checked for infestation. Likewise, a sample of 420 vines sprayed with Action were checked. The results are: Insecticide Number of VinesChecked (sample size) Number ofInfested Vines Pernod 5 390 23 Action 420 46 At the 0.02 significance level, can we conclude that there is a difference in the proportion of vines infested using Pernod 5 as opposed to Action?
