In August in September 2005, hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused extraordinary flooding in New Orleans, Louisiana. Many homes were severely damaged or destroyed, and of those that survived, many required extensive cleaning. It was thought that cleaning flood-damaged homes might present a health hazard due to the large amount of mold present in many of the homes. In a sample of 365 residents of Orleans Parish who had participated in the cleaning of one or more homes, 77 had experienced symptoms of wheezing, and in a sample of 179 residents who had not participated in cleaning, 23 reported wheezing symptoms. Can you conclude that the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms is greater among those who participated in the cleaning of flood-damaged homes?

a. State whether the test is:

i) a two-sample t-test (independent samples)

ii) a matched pairs

iii) a two sample proportion test

b. Write H0 and H1

c. Using Minitab, list the test statistic the p-value your conclusion: reject H0 or do not reject H0. Note: if α is not provided, use a 0.05 significance level

d.   Write a sentence that explains your conclusion in context with the claim. Include the significance level and p-value in this sentence.

e.   Copy and paste the relevant Minitab output into the document. Answers alone are sufficient, you do not need to copy the exercise into the document.

I'm using 2005 NFL stats to come up with a multiple linear regression analysis models with the winning percentage being the dependent variable. My question would be, what are the most significant variables that are used in deciding an NFL team's capacity to win? Passing yards, rushing game, defense or field goals are some of my independent variables. But I’m considering adding the defensive stats to the regression. How do I complete my presentation subtopics?

Presentation:

I. Introduction: Summarize your topic and research question. Why did you choose this topic? How does your research question fit within the topic?

What was the 2005 Dover court case about?

What is intelligent design (ID), and how does it differ from Darwin’s theory of evolution by means of natural selection?

Why is ID considered not to be science by the scientific community? Is there a difference between ID and creationism?

Why are scientists opposed to “equal time” for creationism/ID in science classes?

What evidence is put forward during the trial to support evolution and counter ID?

What evidence is put forward in support of ID? Does it hold up to scientific scrutiny?

What is ID’s notion of “irreducible complexity” and how is it refuted by evolutionary biologists?

Do you agree or disagree with the Judge’s decision in this case? Why?

In 2005, 0.76% of all airline flights were on-time. If we choose a simple random sample of 2000 flights, find the probability that... (to four decimal places, using normal chart, no continuity correction)

(a) at least 79% of the sample's flights were on time

(b) at most 1580 of the sample's flights were on time

(c) the sample proportion of on-time flights (p-hat) differs from the truth by more than three percent

Marin Company sells tablet PCs combined with Internet service, which permits the tablet to connect to the Internet anywhere and set up a Wi-Fi hot spot. It offers two bundles with the following terms. 1. Marin Bundle A sells a tablet with 3 years of Internet service. The price for the tablet and a 3-year Internet connection service contract is $506. The standalone selling price of the tablet is $269 (the cost to Marin Company is $158). Marin Company sells the Internet access service independently for an upfront payment of $285.

Marin Bundle B includes the tablet and Internet service plus a service plan for the tablet PC (for any repairs or upgrades to the tablet or the Internet connections) during the 3-year contract period. That product bundle sells for $598. Marin Company provides the 3-year tablet service plan as a separate product with a standalone selling price of $157. Marin Company signed 220 contracts for Marin Bundle B on July 1, 2017, receiving a total of $131,560 in cash.

During a maternity leave of the full-time bookkeeper at a privately owned furniture repair business, a temporary employee was involved in the following transactions.

1.
Work was completed on the order for one of the customers who had paid the full price in advance of $570 several months ago. At that time it was recorded as unearned revenue. The journal entry to record completing the work was a debit to Cash and a credit to Service Revenue.
2.
A cheque in the amount of $1,070 was received in payment of a customer’s account: Accounts Receivable was debited and Cash was credited.
3.
Prepaid insurance for $490 was paid by cheque. The resulting entry included a debit to Prepaid Insurance and a credit to Insurance Expense for $490.
4.
10 cartridges of printer toner were purchased on account for $580. This transaction was recorded as a debit to Equipment and a credit to Accounts Payable. None of the cartridges has been used.
5.
Interest for one month on a $5,600 note payable was accrued as a debit to Interest Expense and credit to Interest Payable for $560. The annual rate of interest is 10%.
6.
When the owner, L. Lowe, used $1,140 cash for personal expenses, a debit was made to L. Lowe, Capital and a credit was made to Cash.
