Textbook Question
Chapter 13.9, Problem 43E
Refer to Exercise 13.42. Why was a randomized block design used to compare the chemicals?
13.42 The accompanying table presents data on yields relating to resistance to stain for three materials (M1, M2, and M3) treated with four chemicals in a randomized block design. (A low value indicates good stain resistance.)
a Is there evidence of differences in mean resistance among the four chemicals? Give bounds for the p-value.
b What would you conclude at the α = .05 level of significance?

The NAEP considers that a national average of 283 is an acceptable performance. Using α = .05, run a two-tail t-test for one sample to test Ho: µ=283 for the 2019 scores. Report the t-obt, df, and p-values.
Would you reject the null hypothesis that the 2019 scores come from a population with average 283? If this is the case, does it come from a population from larger or smaller average?
A nationwide study of undergraduate students reported that the mean number of drinks consumed per week during the spring semester is 7.96. The mean number of drinks consumed per week at USC is 7.64 (s.d.=2.55, N=412
Health services is concerned that USC students are consuming significantly more alcohol per week than the national average. Using an alpha level of .05, Is there sufficient evidence to be concerned? Be sure to select the correct critical value for the alternative hypothesis, and then use this evidence to make your conclusion
