- Please answer this question quickly! thank youarrow_forwardHi I’m in grade 12 Data Management and I need help with this practice question Please use “let” statementsarrow_forwardHere is an example from John and Jenn. When we return exams in our classes, we find it beneficial to share with students information on the distribution of scores. We provide this information so that students will have an idea of how they scored on the exam in comparison to their peers. However, deciding which descriptive information to provide to the class is not always an easy decision. These are modified grades from one of Jenn’s statistics classes. For this data set, the mean is 77, the mode is 92, and the median is 86. If you were the professor of the class, do you think sharing the mean scores on the exam with the class is a representative score of the data set? Why or why not? 9 or 11. The researchers predicted that the more a mother weighed during pregnancy, the higher the fat mass would be in the child. Such findings would support the developmental over nutrition hypothesis, which states that overeating during key developmental times has an influence on the offspring. The…arrow_forward
- One personality test available on the World Wide Web has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. You are interested in the mean score, μ , among the general population on this subsection. The website reports that μ is 145, but you have good reason to believe that μ is less than 145. You decide to do a statistical test. You choose a random sample of people and have them take the personality test. You find that their mean score on the subsection is 139 and that the standard deviation of their scores is 28. Based on this information, complete the parts below. (a) What are the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1that should be used for the test? H0: H1: (b) Suppose that you decide to reject the null hypothesis. What sort of error might you be making? ▼(Choose one) (c) Suppose the true mean score among the general population on the subsection is 136. Fill in the blanks to describe a Type II error. A Type II error…arrow_forwardHi! I pretty much don't understand this problem that was presented on my Statistics classarrow_forwardIf there is someone that can please assist me! I have posted this statistics question 3 times and they keep saying it is a writing assignment. THIS QUESTION IS NOT A WRITING ASSIGNMENT. It is a STATISITCS problem. i am stuck and confused and just needing to see how you solve this! if you do not know how to do it then please leave it for someone else but this is NOT a writing assignment! i will also be glad to rate your work!arrow_forward
- Write up your results as you would see them in a research paper. Be sure that you include the means and standard deviations for each group in your write-up, as well as a sentence or two explaining the resultsarrow_forwardOne personality test available on the World Wide Web has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker.
