Assuming that the population is normally distributed, construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean, based on the following sample size of n=6.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5,and 15
In the given data, replace the value 15 with 6 and recalculate the confidence interval. Using these results, describe the effect of an outlier (that is, an extreme value) on the confidence interval, in general.
Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean, using the formula or technology.

Write out the ANOVA shell (sources of variability & degrees of freedom) for each of the following experiments:
(a) The 4 levels of one treatment variable (Trt) are assigned to EUs in a balanced CRD with 10 replicates per treatment group.
(b) Treatments from a 2-way factorial treatment structure where factor A has 3 levels & factor B has 4 levels are assigned to EUs in a balanced CRD with 6 replicates per treatment.
(c) Five treatments are assigned to EUs in an RCBD with 8 blocks of size 5.
(d) An RCBD with 9 blocks has a 2-way treatment structure where factor A has 3 levels and factor B has 2 levels.

In the following exercises, assuming that the thermometer readings are normally distributed, with a mean of 0 celsius and a standard deviation of 1.00 celsius. A thermometer is randomly selected and tested. In each case, calculate the probability of each reading.
a) P(z>1.645)

Test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, and then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Among 2039 passenger cars in a particular region, 229 had only rear license plates. Among 370 commercial trucks, 56 had only rear license plates. A reasonable hypothesis is that commercial trucks owners violate laws requiring front license plates at a higher rate than owners of passenger cars. Use a 0.05 significance level to test that hypothesis. a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test. b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval.

Why would you use ANOVA when you could just run many sets of t-tests? [Think about practical considerations, as well as statistical considerations.]

A marketing research professor is conducting a telephone survey and needs to contact at least 160 wives, 140 husbands, 110 single adult males, and 120 single adult females. It costs $2 to make a daytime call and $4 (because of higher labor costs) to make an evening call. The table shown below lists the expected results. For example, 10% of all daytime calls are answered by a single male, and 15% of all evening calls are answered by a single female. Because of a limited staff, at most half of all phone calls can be evening calls. Determine how to minimize the cost of completing the survey

This week we are learning about the Independent Samples T-Test (a.k.a., between-subjects research design), which tests for mean differences between two independent groups. For this discussion, your task is to describe two examplesof a research question that could be tested with an independent samples t-test. In addition, describe what you believe the outcome would be if the study were to be conducted. Or, if you happen to know of actual research that has tested this question, provide a link for others to check it out. To clarify, you are not actually going to conduct this research. All you need to do is describe the research question and what you hypothesize the outcome to be.

1. Compare and contrast the correlation and the chi-square test of independence. How are they similar and how are they different (i.e. when to use each) 2. Come up with two hypothetical examples demonstrating both strategies or come up with "real-world" applications of these strategies in your professional life (i.e. how could you apply these in your work).

(b) what is the probability that at most 5 accidents occur (until) this week given that at least 1 accident will occur today.
