Q4) The following yields were recorded by usingtwo agricultural products.

Perform a two sample hypothesis test to consider if the yieldsfor product A and product B are different. Use the defaultsignificance level of α=0.05.

You may assume that the population variances for productA and B are equal.

You should take the mean of Yield A first in your teststatistic.

Q5) 184 patients with coronavirus have beenhospitalised in the city hospital. 92 have been treated withanti-viral medication and 92 have not.

Q6) A sample of the various prices for aparticular product has been conducted in 16 stores which wereselected at random in a city. The following prices were noted, inGBP:

95, 108, 97, 112, 99, 106, 105, 100, 99, 98, 104, 110, 107, 111,103, 110.

  1. Calculate a 95% confidence interval to estimate the actual meanprice of the product in the city. State the intervalaccurate to 1 decimalplace.                                                                                                
  1. Is it reasonable to assume that the average price for thisproduct is £100? State yourreasoning.
