The mean length of time required to complete a 5K race was 20 minutes. The standard deviation of the times was 4 minutes. The racing times were approximately normally distributed. What is the probability that a randomly selected runner completed the race in less than 16 minutes?

A Randomized Block Design is used to compare fleece weights of three breeds of sheep – Merino, Suffolk, and Dorset (we can think of the three breeds as being the three treatments). The sheep are divided into two weight classes (i.e., two blocks). Block one contains sheep weighing less than 150 lb and block two contains sheep weighing more than 150 lb. The fleece weights (in pounds) are as follows: Merino Suffolk Dorset Block 1 13 8 9 Block 2 14 9 11 The partially completed ANOVA table for this experiment is as follows: Source df SS MS F Total 29.33333 Breed 26.33333 13.16667 79.00003 Block Error 0.33333 0.16667 The correct degrees of freedom for total, breed, block, and error, respectively are:

A randomized block design is used to compare litter sizes of the Yorkshire and Duroc breeds of sows. Blocking is used in an attempt to remove the effects of sow age, since it is known that sow age influences litter size. Each block contains sows of similar ages. The data collected for this experiment are as follows: Yorkshire Duroc Block totals Block 1 9 pigs 7 pigs 16 pigs Block 2 10 8 18 Block 3 11 9 20 Block 4 13 10 23 Totals 43 34 77 The partially completed ANOVA table for this experiment is as follows: Source df SS MS F Total 23.875 Breed 10.125 10.125 81.0 Block 13.375 Error 0.375 Calculate the mean square for blocks and the mean square for error.

Assume the mean length of time required to complete the Columbus Marathon was 4.5 hours and the standard deviation of the times was 0.70 hours. Assume that the racing times were approximately normally distrubuted. Only 10% of the runners would be expected to complete the race in less than x hours. Find the value of x.
