n an effort to determine whether a new type of fertilizer is more effective than the type currently in use, researchers took 5 two-acre plots of land scattered throughout the village. Each plot was divided into two equal-size subplots, one of which was treated with the current fertilizer and the other of which was treated with the new fertilizer. Wheat was planted, and the crop yields were measured given in the following table
Plot 1 2 3 4 5 Current Fertilizer 56 45 69 57 60 New Fertilizer 49 66 61 58 75
Can we conclude at the 5% significance level that the new fertilizer is more effective than the current one?
A quality control engineer studied the relationship between years of experience as a system control engineer and the capacity of the engineer to complete within a given time a complex control design including the debugging of all computer programs and control devices. A group of 25 engineers having widely differing amounts of experience (measured in months of experience) was given the same control design project. The results of the study are given in the following table with y = 1 if the project was successfully completed in the allocated time and y = 0 if the project was not successfully completed.
a. Determine whether experience is associated with the probability of completingthe task.
b. Compute the probability of successfully completing the task for an engineer having 24 months of experience. Place a 95% confidence interval on your estimate.
