1.) To determine if Reiki is an effective method for treating pain, a pilot study was carried out where a certified second-degree Reiki therapist provided treatment on volunteers. Pain was measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) immediately before and after the Reiki treatment (Olson & Hanson, 1997). The data is in table #9.2.7. Do the data show that Reiki treatment reduces pain? Test at the 5% level.

The number of cell phones per 100 residents in countries in Europe is given in table #9.3.9 for the year 2010. The number of cell phones per 100 residents in countries of the Americas is given in table #9.3.10 also for the year 2010 ("Population reference bureau," 2013). Is there enough evidence to show that the mean number of cell phones in countries of Europe is more than in countries of the Americas? Test at the 1% level.
