Perform a correlation. What is the correlation coefficient?
If there IS a correlation, what other variables may be acting as intervening variables (e.g., causing the change in crime rate making it appear as if there is a relationship when one doesn’t exist.)?
If there is NOT a relationship, between unemployment and violent crime, can you think of any variables that might be acting as suppressors (i.e. dampening a relationship that might actually be there)?
Perform a regression to predict violent crime. Show your regression analysis.
Write out the prediction model.
What does the model tell you?
Are the model’s results accurate and reliable? How do you know?
what jumps out as a MAJOR issue with the crime data?

A coffee company sells bags of coffee beans with an advertised weight of 454 grams. A random sample of 20 bags of coffee beans has an average weight of 457 grams. Weights of coffee beans per bag are known to follow a normal distribution with standard deviation 5 grams.
(a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean weight of all bags of coffee beans. (Instead of typing ±, simply type +-.) (1 mark)
(b) Provide an interpretation of the confidence interval in (a). (1 mark)
(c) Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level of significance to determine if there is evidence that the true mean weight of all bags of coffee beans differs from 454 grams. You will be marked on your calculation of the appropriate test statistic, P-value and a carefully worded conclusion.
(d) Provide an interpretation of the P-value in (c). (1 mark)
(e) Could the confidence interval in (a) have been used to conduct the test in (c)? Explain why or why not. If it could have been used, what would your conclusion be and why? (1 mark)

Why do unsaturated fats remain liquid at room temperature?
Their rigid structure prevents their interaction with adjacent molecules to form a solid.
The glycerol in unsaturated fats keeps the fatty acids fluid and prevents formation of solid form.
Their structure causes kinks in their conformation, which prevents close packing into a solid form.
The glycerol in unsaturated fats causes kinks in its structure, which prevents it from forming a solid.
