- Because the mean is very sensitive to extreme values, it is not a resistant measure of center. By deleting some low values and high values, the trimmed mean is more resistant. To find the 10% trimmed mean for a data set, first arrange the data in order, then delete the bottom 10% of the values and delete the top 10% of the values, then calculate the mean of the remaining values. Use the axial loads (pounds) of aluminum cans listed below for cans that are 0.0111 in. thick. Identify any outliers, then compare the median, mean, 10% trimmed mean, and 20% trimmed mean. 246 259 268 274 275 278 280 283 285 285 286 288 289 292 294 294 296 299 309 506 Identify any outliers.

It wants to appeal to the age group of people who spend the most money online. The company wants to know if there is a difference in the mean amount of money people spend per morith on Internet purchases depending on their age bracket. The marketing firm looked at two age groups, 18-24 years and 25-30 years, and collected the data shown in the following table. Let Population 1 be the amount of money spent per month on internet purchases by people in the 18-24 age bracket and Population 2 be the amount of money spent per month on internet purchases by people in the 25-30 age bracket. Assume that the population variances are not the same. Internet Spending per Month 18-24 Years Answer Mean Amount Spent Standard Deviation Sample Size Step 1 of 2: Construct a 99 % confidence interval for the true difference between the mean amounts of money per month that people in these two age groups spend on Internet purchases.

- “Red tide” is a bloom of poison-producing algae–a few different species of a class of plankton called dinoflagellates. When the weather and water conditions cause these blooms, shellfish such as clams living in the area develop dangerous levels of a paralysis-inducing toxin. In Massachusetts, the Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) monitors levels of the toxin in shellfish by regular sampling of shellfish along the coastline. If the mean level of toxin in clams exceeds 800 μg (micrograms) of toxin per kg of clam meat in any area, clam harvesting is banned there until the bloom is over and levels of toxin in clams subside. Describe both a Type I and a Type II error in this context, and state which error has the greater consequence.arrow_forwardData was collected for a sample of organic snacks.
