Use the standard deviation to compare the variability of the two sets of data.

Precipitation and High Temperatures The normal
daily high temperatures (in degrees Fahrenheit) in
January for 10 selected cities are as follows.
50, 37, 29, 54, 30, 61, 47, 38, 34, 61

The normal monthly precipitation in inches) for these
same 10 cities is listed here.
4.8, 2.6, 1.5, 1.8, 1.8, 3.3, 5.1, 1.1, 1.8, 2.5

Which set is more variable?

(b) suppose that consolidated power decides to use a level of significance of α = .05, and suppose a random sample of 100 temperature readings is obtained. if the sample mean of the 100 temperature readings is x⎯⎯ = 60.990, test h0 versus ha and determine whether the power plant should be shut down and the cooling system repaired. perform the hypothesis test by using a critical value and a p-value. assume σ = 5. (round your z to 2 decimal places and p-value to 4 decimal places.)
