A group committed to quality television has been concerned about a new talk show. For two weeks, they decide to count the number of words that must be "bleeped" as too obscene for television and the number of physical altercations. They hope that after recording this data that they will be able to argue that the show is inappropriate for television particularly during the day. The data for number of words censored is provided below. 342 267 321 157 33 349 254 166 132 289 a) Find the variance and standard deviation. b) What does this information tell you about variability of number of words censored per show?

The data for each location on the two different dates is in the table. Do the data show that on average fewer people drive on Friday the 13th?

In order to determine if the average bacteria content of southern flowing streams is less than the average bacteria content of northern flowing streams, independent random samples of 28 southern flowing streams and 35 northern flowing streams were taken. Given the testing statistics below, determine if the data provides sufficient evidence to conclude that the average bacteria content of southern flowing streams is less than the average bacteria content of northern flowing streams, at the 5% significance level. H0:μs≥μnHa:μs<μn t0=−0.108 t0.05=−1.999 Select the correct answer below: No; the test statistic is less than the critical value. Yes; the test statistic is greater than the critical value.

Studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids have a wide variety of health benefits. Omega-3 oils can be found in foods such as fish, walnuts, and flaxseed. A company selling milled flaxseed advertises that one tablespoon of the product contains, on average, at least 3800 mg of ALNA, the primary omega-3. a) The company plans to conduct a test to ensure that there is sufficient evidence that its claimiscorrect. Tobesafe,thecompanywantstomakesurethatevidenceshowsthe average is higher than 3800 mg. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? b) Suppose, instead, that a consumer organization plans to conduct a test to see if there is evidence against the claim that the product contains an average of 3800 mg per tablespoon. The consumer organization will only take action if it finds evidence that the claim made by the company is false and that the actual average amount of omega-3 is less than 3800 mg. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
Dean for student affairs of a small university is worried about students’ expenditure on internet expense during the period study from home since this Covid-19 outbreak. Especially she wants to know whether students of social sciences spend more compared to students from science and technology. As a quick and preliminary study, she collected a sample of 9 students from science and technology and 11 students from social sciences. Total spending for internet is in Rp0000 during the month of April 2029. The results are presented in the following table. Questions: 1. Explain whether you can or cannot use normal approach to the case. 2. Conduct the test by showing formal steps in hypothesis test (design, decision rule, statistical test, and conclusion) at α = 0.05

I’m interested in whether or not kids get hyper based on the type of drink they consume. I measure/define “hyper” as the time they spend running around. I recruited six kids to try 4 different drinks: water (my control), milk, Coke, and Coffee. I record the time (in minutes) spent running around after consuming each beverage. Using the data below, run a repeated measures ANOVA and assess whether the type of beverage impacts how much time kids spend active at an alpha level of 0.05.

31% of all pygmy softshell toises have stripes on their shells. A herpetologist in Cititon collects a sample of 28 pygmy softshell tortoises and finds that 8 of them have stripes on their shells. Is there enough evidence to conclude, at a significance of alpha=0.05, that the proportion of pygmy softshell tortoises in Cititon with stripes on their shells is less than 31%? What is the claim? What is the null hypothesis? What is the alternative hypothesis? What is the test statistic? What is/are the critical value(s)? Do we reject the null hypothesis? What conclusion do we draw? What is the P-value for the problem above?
