  •  Complete a hypothesis test involving your independent variable. Test the claim

    that the mean of your independent variable is different then you guess (seethe “Set-Up” section of your project for your guess), using  = 0.05.
    Note: Because Minitab is using the same screen to perform both C.I. and H.T., Minitab is asking you to set (1-), the level of confidence and not  the level of significance of the test. If you want to perform a test at the 0.05 level, you will need to enter 0.95 in Minitab.

  •  State your decision and conclusion using a full sentence and the right units.

  •  Complete a hypothesis test involving your dependent variable. Test the claim that the mean of your dependent variable is smaller than your guess (see the

    “Set-Up” section of your project for your guess), using  = 0.01.
    Note: Because Minitab is using the same screen to perform both C.I. and H.T., Minitab is asking you to set (1-), the level of confidence and not  the level of significance of the test. If you want to perform a test at the 0.01 level, you will need to enter 0.99 in Minitab.

1) According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the mean total cholesterol level for persons 20 years of age and older in the United States from 2007–2010 was 197 mg/dL. a. What is the probability that a randomly selected adult from the population will have a total cholesterol level of less than 183 mg/dL? Use a standard deviation of 35 mg/dL and assume that the cholesterol levels for the population are normally distributed. b. What is the probability that a randomly selected sample of 150 adults from the population will have a mean total cholesterol level of less than 183 mg/dL? Use a standard deviation of 35 mg/dL.

nfant mortality rate is defined as the number of babies that die between birth and age 1 per 1000 live births. For example, an infant mortality rate of 23.4 means that for every 1000 babies born 23.4 will die before age 1. We are using rates in this project because it allows us to compare regions with different population sizes.

1. Provide descriptive statistics (Mean, median, variance, standard deviation, and the five number summary) for infant mortality rate for each region.

2. Provide descriptive statistics (Mean, median, variance, standard deviation, and the five number summary) for under five mortality rate for each region.

3. Construct a side-by-side box plot for infant mortality rate and region. Please compare similarities or dissimilarities among the regions.

4. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average infant mortality rate. Be sure to write a statement summarizing your findings

5. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average under-five mortality rate. Be sure to write a statement summarizing your findings.

6. Test if the African average infant mortality rate is different from 62.56 using the population standard deviation 27.91 and normal distribution for ?=0.05.

Please provide a answer to 6, I believe its reject the null please correct me and in regards to number 3. Please provide a box plot that does not include any personal markings. Thank you for all the help.

  1. A coffee machine dispenses 6 fluid ounces of coffee into a paper cup. Previous studies have shown that the amount dispensed is a normal distribution. A random sample of 15 cups is obtained where the standard deviation, s, is 0.154.
  1. Determine if the requirements are met to compute a confidence interval for the true standard deviation, σ, of amounts of coffee being dispensed. List each requirement and state information given to support each one.
  1. If the requirements are met, use StatCruch to find a 95% confidence interval and write the interpretation of the confidence interval for the population standard deviation.

The average number of pages for a simple random sample of 40 physics textbooks is 435. The average number of pages for a simple random sample of 30 mathematics textbooks is 410. Assume that all page length for each types of textbooks is normally distributed. The standard deviation of page length for all physics textbooks is known to be 55, and the standard deviation of page length for all mathematics textbooks is known to be 55. Part One: Assuming that on average, mathematics textbooks and physics textbooks have the same number of pages, what is the probability of picking samples of these sizes and getting a sample mean so much higher for the physics textbooks (one-sided p-value, to four places)?WebAssign will check your answer for the correct number of significant figures. The above p-value comes from a test-statistic of z=WebAssign will check your answer for the correct number of significant figures. (enter number without sign).

It is advertised that the average braking distance for a small car traveling at 65 miles per hour equals 120 feet. A transportation researcher wants to determine if the statement made in the advertisement is false. She randomly test drives 37 small cars at 65 miles per hour and records the braking distance. The sample average braking distance is computed as 111 feet. Assume that the population standard deviation is 21 feet. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table) a. State the null and the alternative hypotheses for the test. H0: μ = 120; HA: μ ≠ 120 H0: μ ≥ 120; HA: μ < 120 H0: μ ≤ 120; HA: μ > 120 b-1. Calculate the value of the test statistic. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign.

4. Research shows that similarity in attitudes, beliefs, and interests plays an important role in interpersonal attraction. Thus in theory, one’s attitude should be similar to that of his/her relationship partner. Suppose a researcher developed a questionnaire that measures how liberal or conservative one’s attitudes are. Low scores indicate that the person has liberal attitudes, whereas high scores indicate conservatism. The following hypothetical data are scores for married couples.

You obtain a sample from the first population with 193 successes and 355 failures. You obtain a sample from the second population with 303 successes and 464 failures. For this test, you should NOT use the continuity correction, and you should use the normal distribution as an approximation for the binomial distribution.
