In an experiment to determine which of three different missile systems is preferable, the
propellant burning rates were measured. The data after coding is given below.
System I 24.0 ,16.7 ,22.8 ,19.8, 18.9
System II 23.2, 19.8 ,18.1, 17.6, 20.2, 17.8
System III 18.4, 19.1 ,17.3 ,17.3, 19.7 ,18.9, 18.8 , 19.3
Use the Kruskal-Wallis test and a significance level of a = 0.05 to test the hypothesis that
propellant burning rates are the same for the three missiles.

Nonstandard dice can produce interesting distributions of outcomes. You have two balanced,
six-sided dice. One is a standard dice, with faces having 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 spots. The other die
has three faces with 0 spots and three faces with 6 spots. Find the probability distribution
for the total number of spots Y on the up-faces when you roll these two dice.

A study of iron deficiency among infants compared samples of infants following different
Feeding regimens. One group contained breast-fed infants, while the children in other group
Were fed a standard baby formula without any iron supplements. Here are summary results
On blood hemoglobin levels at 12 months of age.
Group n Mean s
Breast-fed 23, 13.3, 1.7
Formula 19, 12.4 , 1.8
a. Is there significant evidence that the mean hemoglobin level is higher among breastfed
Babies? State null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis and conduct a t-test.
b. Give a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference in hemoglobin level between
The two populations of infants.
