Textbook authors must be careful that the reading level of their book is appropriate for the target audience. Some methods of assessing reading level require estimating the average word length. We've randomly chosen 20 words from a randomly selected page in Intro Stats and counted the number of letters in each word:
5, 5, 2, 11, 3, 5, 6, 8, 5, 4, 7, 2, 9, 4, 8, 10, 4, 7, 6, 9
Suppose that our editor was hoping that the book would have a mean word length of 6.8 letters. Does this sample indicate that the authors failed to meet this goal? With a significance level of 0.05, test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. (i.e state the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses, calculate the test statistic, conclude and interpret it).

He has researched the distance (in meters) of each men's gold medal discus throw from the Olympics from 1920 to 1964. Below is the equation of the line of best fit Jack found. y=0.34x+44.63y=0.34x+44.63 When calculating his line of best fit, Jack let x represent the number of years since 1920 (so x=0 represents 1920 and x=4 represents 1924). Using the line of best fit, estimate the distance Jack should be able to throw in order to be able to win the 2020 Olympics.arrow_forwardA quality engineer in charge of a coffee filter pack production line was concerned about the weight (in grams) of the filter packs being produced.
