Spend some time looking at the vehicles on the road. Look at the first 40 vehicles that drive by. Take note of the number of vehicles that are cars (sedans). Use the data you collect to construct confidence interval estimates of the proportion of vehicles that are cars (rather than trucks, vans, etc.). Report your confidence interval to the group. Why might people get different results? Is your sample likely a good representation of the total population of all vehicles? Why or why not? Make sure you show all your work and explain each of your steps to arrive at the confidence interval.
Noted as 26 sedans out of the 40 vehicle that drove by.
Please help me solve this problem. thank you.

You are a researcher studying the lifespan of a certain species of bacteria. A preliminary sample of 35 bacteria reveals a sample mean of x=70 hours with a standard deviation of s=4.2 hours. You would like to estimate the mean lifespan for this species of bacteria to within a margin of error of 0.45 hours at a 98% level of confidence.
What sample size should you gather to achieve a 0.45 hour margin of error? Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.
n = bacteria

A random sample of 100 students at a high school was asked whether they would ask their father or mother for help with a homework assignment in science. A second sample of 100 different students was asked the same question in history. If 46 students in the first sample and 47 students in the second sample replied that they turned to their mother rather than their father for help, test the claim whether the difference between the proportions is due to chance. Use α = 0.02. Identify the claim, state the null and alternative hypotheses, find the critical value, find the standardized test statistic, make a decision on the null hypothesis (you may use a P-Value instead of the standardized test statistic), write an interpretation statement on the decision.

Using traditional methods it takes 110.0 hours to receive a basic driving license. A new license training method using Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) has been proposed. A researcher used the technique on 50 students and observed that they had a mean of 111.0 hours. Assume the variance is known to be 16.00. Is there evidence at the 0.05 level that the technique performs differently than the traditional method? Step 1 of 5: Enter the hypotheses: Step 3 of 5: Specify if the test is one-tailed or two-tailed. Step 4 of 5: Enter the decision rule. Step 5 of 5: Enter the conclusion.

A catalog sales company promises to deliver orders placed on the Internet within 3 days. Follow-up calls to a few randomly selected customers show that a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all orders that arrive on time is 88% ±4%. What does this mean? Are the conclusions below correct? Explain.
a) Between 84% and 92% of all orders arrive on time. |
|
b) |
90% of all random samples of customers will show that 88% of orders arrive on time. |
c) |
90% of all random samples of customers will show that 84% to 92%of orders arrive on time. |

In this exercise, we will look at descriptive statistics and how to explore and summarize data sets. For this, we use the Heart Disease dataset from the UCI data repository. This dataset consists of 4 small datasets of people with heart disease admitted to 4 hospitals.
For now, we only work with the file. this data consists of 271 instances with 7 attributes. The attributes are described as below:
Age: age in years
sex: 1 = male; 0 = female
cp: chest pain type
Value 1: typical angina
Value 2: atypical angina
Value 3: non-anginal pain
Value 4: asymptomatic
Trestbps: resting blood pressure
Chol: cholesterol level
Thalach: maximum heart rate achieved
heart_problem: 1= have heart problem; 0=No heart problem
Instruction: Use Microsoft Excel to do your work. Please submit your work as ONE MS excel file and create one tab for each question. Show your work as rigorously as possible. name the file as lastname_fastname_hw1.excel.
Using the attached data, answer the following questions:
1. How many patients have heart disease? (0.5)
2. What is the average Cholesterol level of people with heart disease and without heart disease? What is the standard deviation? (1)
3. What is the median and average age of people with,
a. cholesterol higher than 240.0? (0.5)
b. cholesterol higher than 240.0 with heart disease? (0.5)
c. cholesterol higher than 240.0 without heart disease? (0.5)
4. Create a histogram of resting blood pressure. (1)
5. Create boxplots based on the sex of the patients for the following attributes:
a. cholesterol level (1.5)
b. maximum heart rate achieved (1.5)
6. For each Box plot, answer the following questions:
a. What is the H-Spread (Q3-Q1) of cholesterol level for male and females? (0.5)
b. What are the Lower Hinge and Upper Hinge values for maximum heart rate for male and female? (0.5)
7. In order to find if two attributes are related and their values change together, we can use Scatter plot. Follow the instruction below and answer the questions:
a. Create two scatter plots of age and resting blood pressure for people with heart disease and without heart disease. Is there any visual correlation? (1+1)
b. Calculate the average resting blood pressure of each age (HINT : Use Groupby for age) for people with heart disease. (1)
c. Calculate the average resting blood pressure of each age (HINT : Use Groupby for age) for people without heart disease. (1)
d. Now create two scatter plots using the previous results. Do you observe a correlation now? Do people without heart disease have higher blood pressure as they age than people with heart disease? (2)
8.Compare the resting blood pressure of people with heart disease and without. (1)
