Open Hurricane data.

SETUP: Is it reasonable to assume that average hurricane pressure for category 4 is different from that of category 1? Given the data, your job is to check if this assertion is indeed reasonable or not. HINT: Read Lecture 24.

19. What would be the correct Null-Hypothesis?

• a. Data related to two different categories should not be related.
• b. The population averages are equal.
• c. The slope of the regression line is equal to zero.
• d. None of these.

20. The P-value is 3.33E-09. What can be statistically concluded?

• a. We reject the Null Hypothesis.
• b. We accept the Null Hypothesis.
• c. We cannot reject the Null Hypothesis.
• d. None of these.

21. Write a one-line additional comment.

• a. We cannot conclude that data related to two different hurricane categories are related.
• b. We are confident that hurricanes with category 4 has different pressure than those of category 1.
• c. We cannot conclude that hurricanes with category 4 has lower pressure than those of category 1.
• d. None of these.

Answer 1

Step 1: Put the data as shown below

Step 2 : Filter category 4 hurricane and find the mean and standard deviation as shown below.

Step 3 Filter category 1 hurricane and find the mean and standard deviation as shown below.

Hypothesis testing.

Let sample 1 be category 4 hurricance
Let sample 2 be category 1 hurricance.

Conclusion : Yes there is sufficient evidence to support that   average hurricane pressure for category 4 is different from that of category 1

19. What would be the correct Null-Hypothesis?
b. The population averages are equal.

20. The P-value is 3.33E-09. What can be statistically concluded?
a. We reject the Null Hypothesis.
.
21. Write a one-line additional comment.
b. We are confident that hurricanes with category 4 has different pressure than those of category 1.
