Open Air_Traffic data. SETUP: It is believed that in July, as years go by we see higher and higher traffic. Given the data your job is to confirm or disprove this assertion.

4. What test/procedure did you perform? (4 points)

  • a. Regression
  • b. Two sided t-test
  • c. One sided t-test
  • d. Confidence Interval

5. What is the statistical interpretation? (4 points)

  • a. Average of data is inconsistent with the claim
  • b. P-value is too large to have a conclusive answer
  • c. P-value is smaller than 5% thus we are confident to say that the slope is not zero.
  • d. P-value is smaller than 5% thus we are confident that the averages are different.
  • e. None of these

6. What is the conclusion? (4 points)

  • a. We cannot claim that in July, as years go by we see higher and higher traffic.
  • b. We can claim that in July, as years go by we see higher and higher traffic.
  • c. None of these
