Question 2

The Russet Potato Company has been working on the development of a new potato seed that is hoped to be an improvement over the existing seed that is being used.
 
  Specifically, the company hopes that the new seed will result in less variability in individual potato length than the existing seed without reducing the mean length. To test whether this is the case, a sample of each seed is used to grow potatoes to maturity. The following information is given:Old Seed New SeedNumber of Seeds = 11 Number of Seeds = 16Average length = 6.25 inches Average length = 5.95 inchesStandard Deviation = 1.0 inches Standard Deviation = 0.80 inchesThe on these data, if the hypothesis test is conducted using a 0.05 level of significance, the calculated test statistic is:A) = 1.25
  B) = 0.80
  C) = 0.64
  D) = 1.56

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
