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 …show more content…
Compare the results. a) Does the range rule of thumb overestimate or underestimate the standard deviation for the number of people living in your home? Q17 b) | c) | d) | e) | f) Std. dev. | g) 0.857 | Q 18 | | | | Std. dev. | 1.865 | h) Does the range rule of thumb overestimate or underestimate the standard deviation for the number of pets you own? It is underestimate because it is lower deviations i) How does the shape of the distribution impact what you conclude? The shape distribution is out of range. 10. Using measures of center and measures of variability compare the number of credit hours students in this sample are taking and the number of hours watching television. a) Which variable has greater variability? How do you know? b) What number of credit hours students in this sample are taking would be at the 20th percentile? c) What number of hours watching television would be at the 99th percentile? NOTE: Project problems should not be posted to the Discussion threads. Questions on the project problems should be addressed to the instructor by sending an email or by attending office hours. Would you like a Math Center tutor to review your project? Students in MM207 may submit their projects to the Math Center for review. Tutors will not grade or correct the project, but they will provide guidance for improvement. Students should submit
1. For the following scores, find the mean, median, and the mode. Which would be the most appropriate measure for this data set?
So, we have a distribution with a mean of 20,000 and a standard deviation of 5,102.
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
4. Calculate the following measures of central tendency for the set of cube measurement data. Show your work or explain your procedure for each.
5. Give the standard deviation for the mean and median column. Compare these and be sure to identify which has the least variability?
10. Identify whether these distributions are negatively skewed, positively skewed, or not skewed at all, and why.
First we find E by doing Zc(standard deviation/square root of number of trials.) Now we add and subtract that number from the mean income to find both endpoints. The Zc of 95% is 1.96 so we would do
5) Describe how the normal range for any given measurement is obtained. Explain why published values for normal ranges may differ and why these values must be continually checked and updated.
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?
5. Give the standard deviation for the mean and median column. Compare these and be sure to identify which has the least variability?
2. For the following set of scores, fill in the cells. The mean is 74.13 and the standard deviation is 9.98.
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
Your Project Outline assignment has a Peer Review element to it, and because we only have one student in this course (you), we will need to adjust our approach to ensuring this requirement is met per this course. As we discussed in class, be sure to review your work with either someone in the field, or a classmate who is at least a Senior in this GCU Tech Program. Subsequently, share their feedback in this main forum and incorporate it into your assignment deliverable as well.
An early unit testifies the Z score times the standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size. Therefore, the Z score remains known as plus/minus of the level of confidence based on the data in the normal distribution. Through likeness, the standard deviation remains characterized as a typical distance of an observation from the distribution center or middle value (Barde & Barde, 2012). In other words, the diagram exhibits a standard deviation of 0.301 for male students and 0.287 for the female students. The results computed display a standard error of 0.04 overall (for both groups). Consequently, the diagram analysis offers a computing test statistic of -4.54. In addition, the direction of the test includes three different areas of study. The first exists as a two-tailed test, the second as the upper-tail test, and the last as the lower-tail test. The chart computes the two-tailed test lower critical value of -1.9600, the upper-tailed test not available and the lower-tail test yielding a -1.6449.
