Question
How do frequency tables, relative frequencies, and histograms showing relative frequencies help us understand sampling distributions?
They show each data point in the sampling distribution and how it relates to the overall distribution.They provide insight into the overall behavior of the population, therefore helping us understand the sampling distribution. They help us visualize the sampling distribution by using tables and graphs that approximately represent the sampling distribution.They help us visualize the sampling distribution by using tables and graphs that approximately represent the population distribution.

The committee is analyzing, among other things, data on household incomes in two cities within the county. They have collected data on the income of 80 households in each of the two cities. The histograms below show the distributions of the two sets of incomes (in thousands of dollars). Each histogram shows household income on the horizontal axis and number of households on the vertical axis. The means and standard deviations for the data sets are also given.

In the Excel Lab #5 Data File, you will find raw data on sheet 1. However, to simplify your calculations, you have only been asked to test a random sample of 10 homes. So, your first step will be to randomly select data from 10 of the homes and paste them into sheet 2 called “sample data”. This will be the data that you will analyze. (You can generate 10 random numbers between 5 and 30 however you want for your sample, but know that there is essentially no chance two students should have the same 10 samples). Within the Excel spreadsheet, use the Excel tools/functions to calculate the correlation coefficient, test statistic, and p-value. You will also use Excel to generate a scatterplot of your sample data…arrow_forwardSeveral years ago, the state of California launched an aggressively advertisement campaign against smoking.

I wanted to know how strong this relationship is within the top universities in the country so I collected the graduation rate and acceptance rate data of a randomly selected sample of universities from all the top U.S. universities (with an acceptance rate at or below 30%). The data set is in Tab Q2 of the Excel data file. a.) Create a scatter plot between the two variables using Excel. Paste the plot here and format it into an APA-styled “figure” (see Assignment Guides for APA format).Be sure to submit the Excel file that you used to create the scatter plot. b) Calculate the mean and standard deviation for the two variables separately. c) Calculate the Z scores for all the scores of the two variables, separately.Tips: It may help to prevent error and to increase clarity if the process and/or the answers (z scores) are listed in a table format. d) Calculate…arrow_forward
