1. A random sample of 64 bags of white cheddar popcorn is obtained, and their weights, in
ounces, is recorded. We want to test the hypothesis that the average weight of the bags are
less than 5.3 ounces, at the 0.05 level of significance. Use a 1-sample t-test.
Note: You can obtain the dataset in the file: “Popcorn.csv”. There is a header.

2. Some researchers claim that susceptibility to hypnosis can be acquired or improved through
training. To investigate this claim six subjects were rated on a scale of 1 to 20 according to
their initial susceptibility to hypnosis and then given 4 weeks of training. Each subject was
rated again after the training period. In the ratings below, higher numbers represent greater
susceptibility to hypnosis. We are interested in whether the subjects are more susceptible
after training. Use a 0.10 significance level.
