- Part 2. Refer to the Excel file Cereal data set to complete the following tasks. All results and explanations need to be reported within this Word document after each question. Make sure to use complete sentences when explaining your results. Your results should be formatted and edited. Data Set: Cereals The data set shows the name of different brands of cereals, the manufacturers, the total calories, proteins, sugar, fat, potassium, sodium, location of the shelf in the supermarket, etc. The amount of sugar, protein, etc., is measured in grams (g). Exercise 1: A. Construct a frequency distribution and a bar graph for the cereal manufactures (mfr). Include the relative frequencies. Edit and format the graph and include appropriate labels for the horizontal and vertical axes. Describe your findings in the context of the problem (Include which manufacturer produces the most cereals and least number of cereals in the cereal market). N = Nabisco, K = Kellog’s, Q = Quaker Oats…arrow_forwardHelp! The difference between a frequency histogram and a relative frequency histogram is that the relative frequency histogram indicates: percentage of observations on the vertical (?y) axis, whereas a frequency histogram indicates counts. counts on the vertical (?y) axis, whereas a frequency histogram indicates percentages. counts on the horizontal (?x) axis, whereas a frequency histogram indicates percentages. percentage of observations on the horizontal (?x) axis, whereas a frequency histogram indicates counts.arrow_forwardSolve both plzzarrow_forward

Some bronchial cancer patients had the following survival times (in days) after receiving a certain treatment: 20, 37, 63, 64, 72, 81, 138, 151, 155, 166, 166, 223, 245, 246, 450, 459. (The second instance of “166” is not a mistake.) Do these numbers suggest that the average survival time, for all bronchial cancer patients who receive that treatment, is significantly different from 200 days? QUESTION I NEED ANSWERED: Report an appropriate one-sample hypothesis test and use a 10% significance level. For Step 4 of the six-step process that was taught in this class, choose the BEST option to complete the following sentence: We assume that the sample of subjects is a SRS and we assume that the population of observations has no outliers ... A. and is symmetric. B. and is Uniformly distributed. C. and is skewed. D. and is without a doubt bell-shaped. E.

QUESTION I NEED TO BE ANSWERED: Report an appropriate one-sample hypothesis test and use a 10% significance level. For Step 6 of the six-step process that was taught in this class, what would be the final conclusion? A. The P-value is low so we cannot conclude that the average survival time is significantly different from 200 days. B. The P-value is not very low so our conclusion is that the average survival time is significantly different from 200 days. C. The P-value is not very low…arrow_forward
