A biologist is studying the average germination times of two seed strains to determine whether their mean germination times are the same. The germination times, in days, are recorded for random samples of 25 seeds each from strain A and strain B. All seeds are grown under identical greenhouse conditions. Strain A 24 13 26 15 22 14 10 8 10 18 33 21 30 20 26 23 16 17 14 9 30 24 25 7 19 Strain B 9 13 27 12 15 21 9 28 18 15 23 25 12 18 29 7 8 10 14 15 18 16 28 6 15 Assume that the underlying populations of germination times for individual plants are approximately normally distributed, with $\alpha = 0.05$. Use the data in the table above to answer the following questions. You may use statistical output from any software to assist in solving these problems. a) Check the assumption of variances required to test the difference in germination times of the seeds. Use the confidence interval based on the data above to check on the assumption of variances. Clearly show your calculations, provide justification, and state your conclusion. (6 marks) b) Based on your results from (a), generate the statistical output(s) to test whether seeds of strain B germinate faster than those of strain A, on average. The output(s) should include the values of the test statistic and p-value. Use the generated output(s) to answer the following questions. (4 marks) c) Using the output(s) from (b), answer the following questions. i) Verify the degrees of freedom and test statistic values from the output through manual calculation. Determine the critical value needed to conduct the test in (b). (6 marks) ii) Use the p-value to conduct the test in (b). Clearly state the null ($H_0$) and alternative ($H_1$) hypotheses and conclude the test in the context of the problem. Include the five steps of hypothesis testing in your solution. (5 marks) d) Based on the hypothesis test in (c)(ii), explain whether a Type I or Type II error may have occurred in the context of the problem. (2 marks)

Read a csv (Command-Separated Values) file containing arithmetic expressions and their corresponding answers, generate questions and answer them, calculate and report the correct rate. Based on the correct percentage, print the corresponding letter grade. For example, consider the following CSV file. Each row contains items separated by commas, where the first item represents an arithmetic expression, and the second item is the corresponding answer for that expression. (3 + 2) \% 2, 1 3 + 2 \% 2, 3 1 + 3 \% 2, 2 1 + 4 \% 2, 1 1 + 4 / 2, 3 1 / 2 \* 3, 0 1.0 / 2 \* 3, 1.5 1 / 2 \* 3.0, 0 1 / 2.0 \* 3, 1.5 A sample run of the code is as follows.
