### Exercise 17

A study was conducted by the U.S. Army to see if applying antiperspirant to soldiers’ feet for a few days before a major hike would help cut down on the number of blisters soldiers had on their feet. In the experiment, for three nights before they went on a 13-mile hike, a group of 328 West Point cadets put an alcohol-based antiperspirant on their feet. A “control group” of 339 soldiers put on a similar, but inactive, preparation on their feet. On the day of the hike, the temperature reached 83° F. At the end of the hike, 21% of the soldiers who had used the antiperspirant and 48% of the control group had developed foot blisters. Conduct a hypothesis test to see if the percent of soldiers using the antiperspirant was significantly lower than the control group.

### Exercise 38

"To Breakfast or Not to Breakfast?" by Richard Ayore

In the American society, birthdays are one of those days that everyone looks forward to. People of different ages and peer groups gather to mark the 18th, 20th, … birthdays. During this time, one looks back to see what he or she had achieved for the past year, and also focuses ahead for more to come.

If, by any chance, I am invited to one of these parties, my experience is always different. Instead of dancing around with my friends while the music is booming, I get carried away by memories of my family back home in Kenya. I remember the good times I had with my brothers and sister while we did our daily routine.

Every morning, I remember we went to the shamba (garden) to weed our crops. I remember one day arguing with my brother as to why he always remained behind just to join us an hour later. In his defense, he said that he preferred waiting for breakfast before he came to weed. He said, “This is why I always work more hours than you guys!”

And so, to prove his wrong or right, we decided to give it a try. One day we went to work as usual without breakfast, and recorded the time we could work before getting tired and stopping. On the next day, we all ate breakfast before going to work. We recorded how long we worked again before getting tired and stopping. Of interest was our average increase in work time. Though not sure, my brother insisted that it is more than two hours. Using the data below, solve our problem.

 Work hours with breakfast Work hours without breakfast 8 6 7 5 9 5 5 4 9 7 8 7 10 7 7 5 6 6 9 5

An appropriate alternate hypothesis for the hypothesis test is:

• A. μ day > μ night μ day > μ night size 12{μ rSub { size 8{8:"30"} } >μ rSub { size 8{"11":"30"} } } {}
• B. μ day < μ night μ day < μ night size 12{μ rSub { size 8{8:"30"} } <μ rSub { size 8{"11":"30"} } } {}
• C. μ day = μ night μ day = μ night size 12{μ rSub { size 8{8:"30"} } =μ rSub { size 8{"11":"30"} } } {}
• D. μ day μ night μ day μ night size 12{μ rSub { size 8{8:"30"} } <> μ rSub { size 8{"11":"30"} } } {}
