- Background: You just finished teaching your first PSYCH 248 lab section, and it’s time to calculate the grades. Your wonderful teaching assistant created an Excel file with all of the students’ exam grades, homework grade, and lab grade as well as their gender. Your next steps are to calculate each student’s final grade, convert those scores to letter grades, and describe the distribution of scores. 2. In Excel, calculate the final Number Grade, Letter Grade, and Z-score for each student. a. To calculate the Number Grade, type a numerical equation after an = sign in a cell or use the =AVERAGE() formula; however, keep in mind that the =AVERAGE() formula will always give you the regular mean, not the weighted mean. Grades for this course are comprised of three parts: lecture exams (60%), homework (20%), and lab (20%). b.

- HOW Do I solve this in EXCEL In 2016, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) settled 80% of complaints they received in the US. Suppose you have been hired by the BBB to investigate the complains they received this year involving new car dealers. You plan to select a sample of new car dealer complaints to estimate the proportion of complaints the BBB is able to settle. Assume the population proportion of complaints settled for new car dealers is 0.8, the same as the overall proportion of complaints settled in 2016. Suppose you select a sample of 200 complaints involving new car dealers. Show the sampling distribution of pbar. Based on a sample of 200 complaints, what is the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.04 of the population proportion?

Data are collected in a clinical trial evaluating a new compound designed to improve wound healing in trauma patients. The new compound is compared against a placebo. After treatment for 5 days with the new compound or placebo, the extent of the wound healing is measured and the date are show in the table below. Is there a difference in the extent of wound healing by treatment (Hint: Are treatment and the percent wound healing independent?) Run the appropriate tes at a 5% level of significance. 2. Use the data in Problem 1 and pool the data across the treatments into one sample of size n=250. Use the pooled data to test whether the distribution of the percent wound healing is approximately normal. Specifically, use the following distributions: 30%, 40%, 20%, and 10%.
