A media personality argues that global temperatures are not rising, because every year an increase is reported, such as 0.09 degrees C. The difference from the previous year is less than the margin of error of about 0.13 degrees C, so that difference should be ignored. What is a strong counter argument?

If we collected data on how many pets each person in our class has, describe a situation that the standard deviation would be 0. Jo thinks that the only way for this to happen is for everyone to have no pets. Explain to Jo why the answer they have is correct, but not the only way.
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. At five weather stations on Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, the peak wind gusts (in miles per hour) for January and April are recorded below. Weather Station January April USE SALT Does this information indicate that the peak wind gusts are higher in January than in April? Use α = 0.01. (Let d = January - April.)

State the generic error for an interpolating formula?
There are two national college-entrance examinations, the scholastic aptitude test (SAT) and the American College Testing program (ACT). Scores on the SATs are approximately normal with mean 500 and standard deviation 100. Scores on the ACTs are approximately normal with mean 18 and standard deviation 6. Use the links provided for the Normal (Links to an external site.)calculator and the Inverse Normal (Links to an external site.) calculator to help complete the problems, you do not need to do any work out by hand. (instructions on how to use these calculators can be found in the week 5 star on the home page) a) What percent of all SAT scores are above 600? b) Which is the greater accomplishment, scoring 630 on the SAT or 22 on the ACT ? Explain your reasoning for your choice. c) How high a score in the SAT is needed to place in the top 2.5%.
