Simpson, Alsen, and Eden. (1975). A Bayesian analysis of amultiplicative treatment effect in weather modification.Technometrics 17, 161-166.

    1. Make a boxplot of the amount of rainfall from the seededclouds. Discuss.
    2. Make a normal quantile plot of the amount of rainfall from theseeded clouds. Discuss.
    3. Find the sample mean and sample standard error of the amount ofrainfall from the seeded clouds.
    4. Report a 99% confidence interval for the mean amount ofrainfall from the seeded clouds.
    5. Conduct a hypothesis test of whether the true mean amount ofrainfall from the seeded clouds is 750 acre-feet against thetwo-sided alternative that the true mean amount of rainfall fromthe seeded clouds is not 750 acre-feet.
  1. Continuing with the data in Exercise 1, test whether cloudseeding with silver nitrate increases rainfall amounts with a 1%level of significance. Be sure to state the P-value inyour report. (Sec. 7.1 and 7.2
