A new variety of pearl millet is expected to provide an increased yield over the variety presently in use which is about 50 bushels per acre. The new variety of millet produced an average yield of x = 56 bushels per acre with a standard deviation of s = 12.4 bushels based on 40 one-acre yields. Find the value of the test statistic for testing the hypotheses that the new variety will increase yield. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

The average amount of corn yield is normally distributed with a mean of 168.7 bushels of corn per acre, with a standard deviation of 25 bushels of corn. In an agricultural study, 100 randomly selected acres were harvested. What is the probability that the mean corn yield of these 100 acres is less than 171 bushels of corn? Round your answer to 3 decimal places.

An agricultural researcher claims that a new fertilizer increases the average yield of a certain crop to more than 200 bushels per acre. A field test is conducted on 50 randomly chosen plots using the new fertilizer, resulting in an average yield of 205 bushels per acre with a standard deviation of 10 bushels. Conduct a hypothesis test at a 2.5% significance level to assess the effectiveness of the new fertilizer.

In an agricultural study, the average amount of corn yield is normally distributed with a mean of 185.2 bushels of corn per acre, with a standard deviation of 23.5 bushels of corn. If a study included 1100 acres, about how many would be expected to yield more than 190 bushels of corn per acre?
