Step 1
The project aims to analyze a dataset to understand its central tendencies, variability, and distribution shape. The goal is to determine the most appropriate measure of center, assess normality, identify any outliers, and select the best statistical test for Show more…

C) Guidelines: Write a brief introduction of the project Interpret the mean, and standard deviation in context of the data given Compare the measures of center and comment on which measure of center would best describe the data given Comment on the shape of the distribution. Are there any outliers in the data? Include results of your investigation for outliers and identify the outlier Comment on your assessment of normality. Which test will be most appropriate for the inferential statistics (confidence Interval)? Z-test or t-test? Why? Write an interpretation for the confidence interval estimate in context of the data State the summary, interpretation, and conclusion of your investigation if there is a relationship between year and temperature in the Virginia park

Question 2: Confidence Intervals The Bureau of Labor Statistics collects information on the ages of people in the civilian labor force and publishes the results in the Current Population Survey. Fifty people in the civilian labor force are randomly selected; their mean age is 39.2 years. We assume that the population standard deviation for the age variable is 10.3 years. Determine the critical value at the 95% confidence level, using a z or a t table as appropriate. Explain your choice of a z or a t table. [5] Write the formula of the margin of error. Calculate the margin of error at the 95% confidence level. [5] Define the confidence interval in terms of the margin of error. [5] Find the 95% confidence interval for the mean age, μ, of all people in the civilian labor force. [5] Interpret the confidence interval. [5] A sample of 100 people is now randomly selected. Assuming that the sample mean and population standard deviation remain unchanged, how does this increase in sample size affect the accuracy of the estimation at the 95% confidence level? Calculate the new confidence interval and explain the intuition of this result. [7] Now calculate a 90% confidence interval with the original sample of 50 people. How does this decrease in confidence level affect the accuracy of the estimation? Explain the intuition of this result. Question 3: Hypothesis Testing one-sample mean Studies have shown that large amounts of mercury in fish lead to various health problems in consumers. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) researches and tests Ahi Tuna for mercury prior to distribution. To protect consumers, the FDA recommends that mercury concentration should not exceed 0.5mg. Research has suggested that the level of mercury in farm-raised Ahi Tuna could result in lower mercury levels. A sample of 30 farm-raised Ahi Tuna resulted in a mercury level of 0.415mg with a standard deviation of 0.07 mg. As a new trainee at the Food and Drug Administration, your task is to test whether farm-raised Ahi Tuna have mercury levels less than the FDA suggested level. 1. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis Ha. Characterize the test as being left, right, or two-tailed. Explain. [5] 2. Calculate the value of the appropriate test statistic. Interpret the meaning of the test statistic. [5] 3. Find the critical value(s) at the 1% level of significance. Determine whether to reject H0. Justify your answer. [5] 4. Find the critical value(s) at the 5% level of significance. Determine whether to reject H0. Justify your answer. [5] 5. Write a conclusion for your task based on the calculations above [6] Question 4: In a different hypothesis testing procedure, you obtained a p-value of 0.0001. Determine whether to reject H0 at the 2.5% and 5% levels based on the p-value. Justify your answer.
