Which of the following is false?
(a) A measure of center alone does not completely describe the characteristics of a set of data. Some measure of spread is also needed.
(b) If the original measurements are expressed in inches, the standard deviation would be expressed in square inches.
(c) One of the disadvantages of a histogram is that it doesn鈥檛 show each data value.
(d) Between the range and the interquartile range, the IQR is a better measure of spread if there are outliers.
(e) If a distribution is skewed, the median and interquartile range should be reported rather than the mean and standard deviation.
Refer to Exercise .
(a) Carry out a significance test at the level.
(b) Construct and interpret a confidence interval for the difference between the population proportions. Explain how the confidence interval is consistent with the results of the test in part (a).
In an experiment to learn whether Substance M can help restore memory, the brains of rats were treated to damage their memories. The rats were trained to run a maze. After a day, rats (determined at random) were given M and of them succeeded in the maze. Only of the control rats were successful. The two-sample z test for 鈥渘o difference鈥� against 鈥渁 significantly higher proportion of the M group succeeds鈥�
(a) gives
(b) gives
(c) gives but not
(d) should not be used because the Random condition is violated(e) should not be used because the Normal condition is violated.
According to sleep researchers, if you are between the ages of andyears old, you need hours of sleep to be fully functional. A simple random sample of students was chosen from a large high school, and these students were asked how much sleep they got the previous night. The mean of the responses was hours, with a standard deviation of hours.If we are interested in whether students at this high school are getting too little sleep, which of the following represents the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
Coaching and SAT scores (10.1) What proportion of students who take the SAT twice are coached? To answer this question, Jannie decides to construct a confidence interval. Her work is shown below. Explain what鈥檚 wrong with Jannie鈥檚 method.
