Mr. Taylor is growing melons on his high desert farm. He knows from experience that the melons will ripen well if they get no less than seventeen inches of rain during the growing season. This year it has rained eleven times. The amount of rain (in inches) that fell each time was: 1.2, 2.9, 0.9, 1.6, 0.1, 2.7, 0.2, 0.1, 0.5, 0.7, and 0.3. Is this enough rain to allow his melon crop to be successful?

A scientist is comparing the number of spinal column bones (vertebrae) between mackerel and groupers (mackerel and groupers are types of fish). He does a preliminary experiment. He catches five different kinds of mackerel and counts the vertebrae in each one getting the result 12, 13, 15, 14, 11. He does the same with five different kinds of grouper and gets the result 13, 15, 14, 12, 15. Do his results indicate that mackerel or grouper tend to have more vertebrae?
