62 . What would be your decision, if you were using α = 0.01?

## 10.3: comparing two independent population proportions

Use the information to answer the next six exercises. You want to know if proportion of homes with cable television service differs between Community A and Community B. To test this, you draw a random sample of 100 for each and record whether they have cable service.

63 . What are the null and alternative hypotheses for this study

64 . If 65 households in Community A have cable service, and 78 households in community B, what is the pooled proportion?

65 . At α = 0.03, will you reject the null hypothesis? What is your conclusion? 65 households in Community A have cable service, and 78 households in community B. 100 households in each community were surveyed.

66 . Using an alpha value of 0.01, would you reject the null hypothesis? What is your conclusion? 65 households in Community A have cable service, and 78 households in community B. 100 households in each community were surveyed.

## 10.4: matched or paired samples

Use the following information to answer the next five exercises. You are interested in whether a particular exercise program helps people lose weight. You conduct a study in which you weigh the participants at the start of the study, and again at the conclusion, after they have participated in the exercise program for six months. You compare the results using a matched-pairs t-test, in which the data is {weight at conclusion – weight at start}. You believe that, on average, the participants will have lost weight after six months on the exercise program.

67 . What are the null and alternative hypotheses for this study?

68 . Calculate the test statistic, assuming that ${\overline{x}}_{d}$ = –5, s d = 6, and n = 30 (pairs).

69 . What are the degrees of freedom for this statistic?

70 . Using α = 0.05, what is your decision regarding the effectiveness of this program in causing weight loss? What is the conclusion?

71 . What would it mean if the t -statistic had been 4.56, and what would have been your decision in that case?

## 11.1: facts about the chi-square distribution

72 . What is the mean and standard deviation for a chi-square distribution with 20 degrees of freedom?

## 11.2: goodness-of-fit test

Use the following information to answer the next four exercises. Nationally, about 66 percent of high school graduates enroll in higher education. You perform a chi-square goodness of fit test to see if this same proportion applies to your high school’s most recent graduating class of 200. Your null hypothesis is that the national distribution also applies to your high school.

73 . What are the expected numbers of students from your high school graduating class enrolled and not enrolled in higher education?

74 . Fill out the rest of this table.

Observed ( O ) Expected ( E ) O E ( O E )2 $\frac{{\left(O-E\right)}^{2}}{z}$
Enrolled 145
Not enrolled 55

75 . What are the degrees of freedom for this chi-square test?

76 . What is the chi-square test statistic and the p -value. At the 5% significance level, what do you conclude?

77 . For a chi-square distribution with 92 degrees of freedom, the curve _____________.

İ want to understand what is t test or neyma. Pearson test ans difference
Yasin
to test the hypotesis ho follws h1 l1/lo
Narendra
Hope this helps. There are three main types of averages. *mean -> average -> (X1+X2+X3+...+Xn) / n *mode -> the element within a set which occurs most. {3,4,5,8,12,3,4,3,3,56} mode = 3 *median -  {3,3,4,5,8,12,56} median = 5 OR {3,4,5,8,12,56} median = 6.5

conceptual approach to limits
how are limits derived?
lameck
an entire section of calculus is devoted to that explanation.
Pitior
what is statistics?
statistics :- can be defined as the branches of mathematics that deals with the summarizing, analysing,organization and interpretation of data.
Usman
well said
Venkat
can we find Z value on calculator with out using Z table
no
Pitior
why
Maham
can another way is possible ?
Maham
Well you could make a table. And as the function you use the one used at the z table
Luca
The normal function is only one way, so you can only try using different numbers until you get the probability that you have. So that is easier if you have a table
Luca
me don't know nothing about z table and don't know how to see the z value on table can you tell me please how see the value on table
Maham
The z table is the table of the standard normal distribution
Luca
You can look it up on internet, its easier than writing down the normal distribution function (with an integral) and doing a table in the calculator
Luca
OK thanks luca
Maham
yes use pnorm in r
Venkat
pnorm(2.3,mean=0,sd=1)
Venkat
pnorm?
Maham
do u have r software
Venkat
no
Maham
its with tht u will get

how find straight line equation in regression
u can find using excel
Venkat
or r studio
Venkat
for regression

im an expert
Venkat
by giving a value to x,y
Ibrokhim
first provide data

the tenth percentile for land selling at jabi is 35,000 and the nineteenth percentile for the land price in the same area is 225,what is the 10_90 percentile range
what is statistics
statistics is the beach of mathematics which deals with collection ,organisation, presentation, analysis and interpretation of numerical data
Saeed
oh but interpretation of data, like what and how? 🤔
Bhavani
interpretation: Think in a way that you have given a company year turnover and you have a record of 100years and data set is like (Year,Turnover). Now with that data you can interpret many thing how was the company growth, when were the losses and other things
Akash
interpretation: it is a process in which we make a decision about a population on the basis of sample data . example: if we want to interpret the average income of employees for upcoming year so we have to interpret the income of employees on the basis of previous year's income of those employees
Saeed
thank you saeed, Akash. I understood.
Bhavani
how to remember all this formulas easy ly
no easy way
Pitior
best way is to do as many problems as possible
Pitior
Oh
Bhavani
is this the only one room? or separate room for separate users? 🤔
Bhavani
Bhavani
Finding correlation and regression
explain statistics whether it is a science or arts or both
I would say art is a creation. A chef is an artist. They create new dishes just like the painters. I believe one who creates something new, is an artist. So, Statistics is also an art, if you know it, you can create some new formula, theory, law, etcetera. It is also Science. So yes, it is both.
Rohan
how do you use the normal distribution table when testing the hypothesis
Davia
Rohan
percentages of all the possible outcomes are measured. This is so simple and bases on the questionnaire or interview schedule. It's just measuring the probability chances of high %age of the either part of the hypothesis ... dependent ..independent. data is classified on the basis of respondents
saifuddin
how find CV(x) and CV(y) if X: 3,7,5,4,6,9 &Y:4,9,6,4,7,8 please tell
Maham
what percent of the students would be expected to score above 95?
inferential statistics is what?
in which we make infrences (hypothsis)
surpose a data set of 2,3,5,6,1,4 are given find median
lucy
Mean (average) 4... Median (middle term) 3.5.. Mode (frequency) every element in a set has 1 frequrncy
Akash
i arrange the data set in ascending order. that is, 1,2,3,4,5,6. then find the data set that falls in the middle. in this case, 3 & 4 fall in the middle. you then sum and obtain the average. that is, (3+4)/2=3.5. therefore, 3.5 is the median.
Gbenga
both of you are correct.
Joseph
hello guys
Abasikponke

what is the percentile for the set of data in the class C and frequency F(c,f)given by (9.3-9.7,2) (9.8-10.2,5) (10.3-10.7,12) (10.8-11.2,17) (11.3-11.7,14) (11.8-12.2,6) (12.3-12.7,3) (12.8-13.2,1)
how to find median
arrange ascending and desending order than the mid value is Median
rajendra
ok
Hrishe
what if it is a group data
Oloyede
mean/ medium/ mode
Michelle
n\2 and n+1\2
what is mean
Samson
mean /median and mode are measurements of central tendency
BinahMalka
sum of values divided by the number of values is called mean..
ibrar
yes
ibrar
mean is the arrange medium is all an average but allows for extremes. mode is simply subtracting the large number from the smallest in a data set or ( list of numbers given).
