9. Pulse Rates of Identical Twins A researcher wanted to compare the pulse rates of identical twins to see whether there was any difference. Eight sets of twins were randomly selected. The rates are given in the table as number of beats per minute. At α = 0.01, is there a significant difference in the average pulse rates of twins? Use the P-value method. Find the 99% confidence interval for the difference of the two.

The effectiveness of a new bug repellent is tested on 1616 subjects for a 10 hour period. (Assume normally distributed population.) Based on the number and location of the bug bites, the percentage of surface area exposed protected from bites was calculated for each of the subjects. The results were as follows:
?⎯⎯⎯=92x¯=92, ?=13 s=13
The new repellent is considered effective if it provides a percent repellency of at least 9090. Using ?=0.05α=0.05, construct a hypothesis test with null hypothesis ?≤90μ≤90 and alternative hypothesis ?>90μ>90 to determine whether the mean repellency of the new bug repellent is greater than 9090 by computing the following:
(a) the degree of freedom
(b) the test statistic
The final conclusion is
A. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis that ?≤90μ≤90. Our results do not provide enough evidence that the new bug repellent is effective. B. We can reject the null hypothesis that ?≤90μ≤90. Our results indicate that…

The 15 items are priced at their usual competitive values, and the quantity of each item sold for a 1-week period is recorded. Then, without changing their price, she places a large ad in the newspaper, advertising the 15 items. Again, she records the quantity sold for a 1-week period. The results follow.
