b) An engineer hypothesizes that the mean number of
defects can be decreased in a manufacturing
process of compact disks by using robots instead
of humans for certain tasks. The mean number of
defective disks per box is 18.

c) A teacher feels that a new teaching strategy will
change the scores of the students. The teacher is
not sure whether the scores will be higher or lower.
In the past, the mean of the scores was 73.
