Increasing stocks survey
Look at yesterday’s newspaper business section. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if
the proportion of New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) stocks that increased is greater than theproportion of NASDAQ stocks that increased. As randomly as possible, choose 40 NYSE
stocks, and 32 NASDAQ stocks and complete the following statements.

p -value.
Do you reject or not reject the null hypothesis? Why?
Write a clear conclusion using a complete sentence.
Decreasing stocks survey
Randomly pick eight stocks from the newspaper. Using two consecutive days’ business sections, test whether the stocks went down, on average, for the second day.

The lymphatic system plays several crucial roles in the human body, functioning as a key component of the immune system and contributing to the maintenance of fluid balance. Its main functions include:
1. Immune Response: The lymphatic system produces and transports lymphocytes, which are a type of
asegid
to transport fluids fats proteins and lymphocytes to the blood stream as lymph
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of the function of the body. Anatomy looks at the body's organs and systems, while physiology looks at how those organs and systems work together to keep the body functioning.
Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in our bodies. Enzymes are essential for digestion, liver function and much more. Too much or too little of a certain enzyme can cause health problems

the normal temperature is 37°c or 98.6 °Fahrenheit is important for maintaining the homeostasis in the body
the body regular this temperature through the process called thermoregulation which involves brain skin muscle and other organ working together to maintain stable internal temperature
