NBC TV news, in a segment of the price of gasoline, reported last evening that the mean price nationwide is $1.50 per gallon for self-serve regular unleaded. A random sample of 35 stations in the Milwaukee, WI area revealed that the mean price was $1.52 per gallon and that the standard deviation was $0.05 per gallon. At the .05 significance level, can we conclude that the price of gasoline is higher in the Milwaukee are? Calculate the p-value and interpret.

A number of automobile accidents occur at various high-risk intersections in Teton country despite traffic lights. The traffic department claims that the modification in the type of light will reduce these accidents. The country commissioners have agreed to the proposed increment. Eight intersections were chosen at random and the lights at those intersections were modified. The numbers of minor accidents during six month period, before and after the modifications were-
Number of Accidents
A B C D E F G H
Before modification 5 7 6 4 8 9 8 10
After modification 3 7 7 0 4 6 8 2
As the 0.1 significance level is it reasonable to conclude that the modification reduces the number of accidents?
