The blue whale is the largest animal living on the earth. the average blue whale measures 100 feet long (30 meters) and weighs 300,000 pounds (136,000 kilograms). a whale’s head is 1⁄3 of the length of its body. a new baby whale is 1⁄4 the length of a grown whale. the average man is 1⁄17 the length of a blue whale, and 1⁄1,818 its weight. a human baby measures 1⁄4 of the length of an adult. calculate the following information: how long is a whale’s head? how long is a new baby whale? how tall is the average man? how much does the average man weigh? how tall is the average human baby?

Powerful women's group has claimed that men and women differ in attitudes about sexual discrimination. a group of 50 men (group 1) and 40 women (group 2) were asked if they thought sexual discrimination is a problem in the united states. of those sampled, 11 of the men and 19 of the women did believe that sexual discrimination is a problem. if the p-value turns out to be 0.035 (which is not the real value in this data set), then at = 0.05, you should fail to reject h0. at = 0.04, you should reject h0. at = 0.03, you should reject h0. none of these would be a correct statement.
