Question: An agricultural experiment station was interested in comparing the yields for two new varieties of corn. Because the investigators thought there might be a great deal of variability in yield from one farm to the next, each variety was randomly assigned to a different 1 -acre plot on each of seven farms. The 1-acre plots were planted; the corn was harvested at maturity. The results of the experiment in bushels of corn are listed here:
| Farm | Variety A | Variety B |
| 1 | 48.2 | 41.5 |
| 2 | 44.6 | 40.1 |
| 3 | 49.7 | 44 |
| 4 | 40.5 | 41.2 |
| 5 | 54.6 | 49.8 |
| 6 | 47.1 | 41.7 |
| 7 | 51.4 | 46.8 |
- Use these data to test whether there is a difference in mean yields for the two varieties of corn. Use \(a=.05\)
- Estimate the size of the difference in the mean yields of the two varieties.
