"The Craven," by Mark Salangsang
Once upon a morning dreary
In stats class I was weak and weary.
Pondering over last night鈥檚 homework
Whose answers were now on the board
This I did and nothing more.
While I nodded nearly napping
Suddenly, there came a tapping.
As someone gently rapping,
Rapping my head as I snore.
Quoth the teacher, 鈥淪leep no more.鈥
鈥淚n every class you fall asleep,鈥
The teacher said, his voice was deep.
鈥淪o a tally I鈥檝e begun to keep
Of every class you nap and snore.
The percentage being forty-four.鈥
鈥淢y dear teacher I must confess,
While sleeping is what I do best.
The percentage, I think, must be less,
A percentage less than forty-four.鈥
This I said and nothing more.
鈥淲e鈥檒l see,鈥 he said and walked away,
And fifty classes from that day
He counted till the month of May
The classes in which I napped and snored.
The number he found was twenty-four.
At a significance level of 0.05,
Please tell me am I still alive?
Or did my grade just take a dive
Plunging down beneath the floor?
Upon thee I hereby implore.
Assume the -value is . What type of test is this? Draw the picture of the -value.
It is believed that Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC) Intermediate Algebra students get less than seven hours of sleep per night, on average. A survey of LTCC Intermediate Algebra students generated a mean of hours with a standard deviation of hours. At a level of significance of , do LTCC Intermediate Algebra students get less than
seven hours of sleep per night, on average?
The error is not to reject that the mean number of hours of sleep LTCC students get per night is at least seven when,
in fact, the mean number of hours
a. is more than seven hours.
b. is at most seven hours.
c. is at least seven hours.
d. is less than seven hours.
The US Department of Energy reported that 51.7% of homes were heated by natural gas. A random sample of 221 homes in Kentucky found that 115 were heated by natural gas. Does the evidence support the claim for Kentucky at the 伪 = 0.05 level in Kentucky? Are the results applicable across the country? Why?
"Dalmatian Darnation," by Kathy Sparling
A greedy dog breeder named Spreckles
Bred puppies with numerous freckles
The Dalmatians he sought
Possessed spot upon spot
The more spots, he thought, the more shekels.
His competitors did not agree
That freckles would increase the fee.
They said, 鈥淪pots are quite nice
But they don't affect price;
One should breed for improved pedigree.鈥
The breeders decided to prove
This strategy was a wrong move.
Breeding only for spots
Would wreak havoc, they thought.
His theory they want to disprove.
They proposed a contest to Spreckles
Comparing dog prices to freckles.
In records they looked up
One hundred one pups:
Dalmatians that fetched the most shekels.
They asked Mr. Spreckles to name
An average spot count he'd claim
To bring in big bucks.
Said Spreckles, 鈥淲ell, shucks,
It's for one hundred one that I aim.鈥
Said an amateur statistician
Who wanted to help with this mission.
鈥淭wenty-one for the sample
Standard deviation's ample:
They examined one hundred and one
Dalmatians that fetched a good sum.
They counted each spot,
Mark, freckle and dot
And tallied up every one.
Instead of one hundred one spots
They averaged ninety six dots
Can they muzzle Spreckles鈥
Obsession with freckles
Based on all the dog data they've got?
