Chapter 8, Problem 59SE
It is specified that a certain type of iron should contain .85 g of silicon per 100 g of iron (.85%). The silicon content of each of 25 randomly selected iron specimens was determined, and the accompanying Minitab output resulted from a test of the appropriate hypotheses.

1.56 Longleaf pine trees. The Wade Tract in Thomas
County, Georgia, is an old-growth forest of longleaf pine
trees (Pinus palustris) that has survived in a relatively
undisturbed state since before the settlement of the area by
Europeans. A study collected data on 584 of these trees.
One of the variables measured was the diameter at breast
height (DBH). This is the diameter of the tree at 4.5 feet,
and the units are centimeters (cm). Only trees with DBH
greater than 1.5 cm were sampled. Here are the diameters
of a random sample of 40 of these trees: PINES
