An obstacle course was set up on a campus,
and 12 volunteers were given a chance to complete it
while they were being timed. They then sampled a new energy drink
and were given the opportunity to run the course again. The
"before" and "after" times in seconds are shown below. Is there
sufficient evidence at a=0.05 to conclude that the
students did better the second time? Assume the variables are
normally distributed.

3. A chemical degrades over time, and the amount of chemical
present in a sample is an exponential function. The half-life of
the chemical is 6 years. Answer each of the questions below.
Provide an exact answer or a numerical value rounded to 2 decimal
places.
a. Find the yearly decay rate for the chemical.
b. How long will it take until the amount of the chemical in a
package is reduced to 20% of its original amount? Length of time
(years):
c. A package is found that has 5g of the chemical. If the
package is 8 years old how much of the chemical was in the package
at the initial time?

A nationwide test taken by high school sophomores and juniors
has three sections, each scored on a scale of 20 to 80 . In a
recent year, the national mean score for the writing section was
47.5, with a standard deviation of 10.0. Based on this information,
complete the following statements about the distribution of the
scores on the writing section for the recent year.
a) According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least 36% of the scores
lie between (blank) and (blank)
b) According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least ( blank %) of the
scores lie between 27.5 and 67.5 .
