The Mid-Term Project is worth 100 points. Please download this document to your computer and save it using the naming convention specified in the course syllabus. For the Mid-Term Project you will be using the MM207 Student Data Set, the survey codebook, and StatCrunch as necessary. You should enter your answers/responses directly after the question. There is no need to retype the project.
After completing and saving the project, submit your project in the Mid-Term Drop Box.
In the course, go to Unit 4 -> Instructor Graded Project -> StatCrunch to access the MM207 Student Data Set. When the page loads you will need to click on Data Set on the left side of the page. You do not need a StatCrunch ID or a password to access the data set;

Assume that you are preparing a report on MM207 statistics students at Kaplan University to present to the Kaplan Board of Trustees. Prepare an appropriate graphical representation for each of the following variables.
a) The different majors of students taking MM207.
b) The number of hours spent on school work by students in MM207.
9. Using the range rule of thumb estimate the standard deviation for the number of credit hours students in this sample are taking and the shoe sizes of the females in the class. Then using StatCrunch compute the actual standard deviation. Compare the results.
a) Does the range rule of thumb overestimate or underestimate the standard deviation for number of credit hours?
-The range rule of thumb over estimates the standard deviation for credit hours. The estimates deviation is 3.75 while the actual is 2.56
b) Does the range rule of thumb overestimate or underestimate the standard deviation for shoe sizes of females?
-The range rule of thumb overestimates again this time only by a little, with the estimate at 1.75 and the actual at 1.29.
c) How does the shape of the distribution impact what you conclude?
-The shape of both data sets fall within the rule of thumb estimate and that actual standard deviation. There is a much high range for both and that is because there are several data samples that fall outside of the standard deviation.
10. Using measures of center
c) The average, or mean of the measurements are almost the same in both cases. However, the standard deviation of the CEOs’ measurements is almost double of the governors’, which means that the CEO’s desks can be either much bigger or much smaller than the governors.
This produces a 106% error causing a very large range of possible values causing our results to be very imprecise.
2) Compute the standard deviation for each of the four samples. Does the assumption of .21 for the population standard deviation appear reasonable?
2. In order to determine the average amount spent in November on Amazon.com a random sample of 144 Amazon accounts were selected. The sample mean amount spent in November was $250 with a standard deviation of $25. Assuming that the population standard deviation is unknown, what is a 95% confidence interval for the population mean amount spent on Amazon.com in November?
(2) Give that a sample of 25 had x = 75, and (x-x)² = 48 the mean and standard
Standard Deviation of Mean= 0.4762Standard Deviation of Median= 0.7539The standard deviation of the Mean is smaller, which means all of the data points will tend to be very close to the Mean. The Median with a larger Standard Deviation will tend to have data points spread out over a large range of values. Since the Mean has the smaller value of the Standard Deviations, it has the least variability.
First we look for the area of both by doing “2nd ,Vars, NORMALCDF” and inputting “-1000, “Z,” 0, 1 then find the difference between both.
The mean birth weight of infants born at a certain hospital in the month of April was 128 oz. with a standard deviation of 10.2 oz. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of standard deviation?
Standard Deviation for the mean column is 0.476Standard Deviation for the median column is 0.754Standard deviation for the mean column has least variability
12. For the following scores, find the mean, median, sum of squared deviations, variance, and standard deviation:
3. In one elementary school, 200 students are tested on the subject of Math and English. The table below shows the mean and standard deviation for each subject.
6. Using IBM® SPSS® software, create a frequency table to summarize the data on the educational level variable. Copy and paste the output from IBM® SPSS® into this worksheet.
Fry Brothers heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. employs Larry Clark and George Murnen to make service calls to repair furnaces and air conditioning units in homes. Tom Fry, the owner, would like to know whether there is a difference in the mean number of service calls they make per day. Assume the population standard deviation for Larry Clark is 1.05 calls per day and 1.23 calls per day for George Murnen. A random sample of 40 days last year showed that Larry Clark made an average of
b) The same article reported the mean size was more than 2100 square feet? Can we conclude that the mean size of homes sold in the Gulshan area is more than 2100 square feet? Use the 0.05 significance level. What is the
