◆ Compute the Chi-square analysis. Each school year at least 300 new students enroll in a year
level in The Academy. The Academy has 12 classes each year level, this means, we expect
300/12=25 new students in every year level. For the 6 year level in our sample, we expect
6*25=150 new students. This is less than the requirement in 12 yr levels.

◆ Hypothesis Testing. F-distribution. Problem Solving. State the hypothesis, identify the
significance level, the critical value, the z-value, decision rule, and give a conclusion. Show the
graph.
A fourth grade class is studying the environment. One of the assignments is to grow bean plants in different
soils. Tommy chose to grow his bean plants in soil found outside his classroom mixed with dryer lint. Tara
chose to grow her bean plants in potting soil bought at the local nursery. Nick chose to grow his bean plants in
soil from his mother’s garden. No chemicals were used on the plants, only water. They were grown inside the
classroom next to a large window. Each child grew five plants. At the end of the growing period, each plant
was measured, producing the data (in inches) in the table below.

Does it appear that the three media in which the bean plants were grown produce the same
mean height? Test at a 3% level of significance.
