Suppose that 10 observations are drawn from a normal population whose variance is 64 . The observations are: 58, 62, 45, 50, 59, 65, 39, 40, 41, and 52 . Test at the 10 level of significance to determine if there is enough evidence to conclude that the population mean is greater than 45.

Question 2

Comparing the output of strawberries grown on plots using fertilizer A with that grown on otherwise identical plots using fertilizer B, in order to make a general assessment of relative fertilizer effectiveness, may well call for a:
 a. Friedman test. c. Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
  b. Kruskal-Wallis test. d. Spearman rank correlation test.
