In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.In the following data pairs, A represents the cost of living index for housing and B represents the cost of living index for groceries. The data are paired by metropolitan areas in the United States. A random sample of 36 metropolitan areas gave the following information.

Creating graphs gives you a picture of your data. In our visual-oriented world, graphing data is one way of "letting the statistics speak for themselves." The proper choice of graph depends on the nature of the variable. Most graphs are pie charts, bar graphs, histograms, frequency polygons or timelines. There are others, but in these are the graphs you will see most often in media, public opinion polls and research studies. A histogram usually has vertical bars placed on the horizontal axis (x-axis) that touch each other, although some texts no longer require that the bars touch. The y-axis shows the frequency, percetage or rate of occurrence. Figure 1.

Frequency refers to the number of children in each category of viewing time.
spam. You've heard that at least 65% of the email you recieve through a certain email account is marked You suspect this is incorrect, so you keep track of the emails you receive on that account for the next week. In that time, you received 57 emails and 29 of them were marked as spam. State the null and alternative hypotheses of this test. Null Hypothesis (Ho): Alternative Hypothesis (HA): p? P?

Consider the example from the previous problem, in part (b). The sizes (in grams) of Latavia's 14 oranges are 124, 126, 129, 130, 134, 136, 139, 142, 146, 149, 152, 154, 155, and 157 g. a. Find the sample mean of Latavia's data. b. Make a boxplot or a histogram of Latavia's data with a bin size of 10. c. If even a small sample is graphed and has no major skew or outliers, it is generally reasonable to assume that the population “could reasonably be normal," and therefore that the sampling distribution of the mean is approximately normal. This is the "normal population" condition. Does this sample appear to satisfy this condition? d. Latavia reads online that medium-sized navel oranges have a mean mass of 131 g with a standard deviation of 18 g. She is interested to test if the Fresh Foods oranges match those parameters. State a null and alternative hypothesis for this situation using symbols. Note that Latavia is making two assumptions in her test. e. Calculate a test statistic: what…
