According to Google Search Trends website the term 'statistics' has the greatest popularity, as a share of total searches, in Zimbabwe, followed by Georgla, Ethlopla, Kenya and Uganda. Google produces an index of popularity and for these countrles. The index is 100, 94, 67, 55 and 40. You are asked by Google to test the hypothesis that the standard deviation of 'statistics popularity is 20 over all countries in the world. If you treat the data above as a random sample, what do you conclude at the 5% level, and, do you have any concerns about the analysis?   a. All the other answers are wrong b. 6.507 is between .484 and 11.143 so we fail to reject a standard deviation of 20. There is nothing wrong with the analysis c. 6.507 is between .831 and 12.832 so we falil to reject a standard deviation of 20. However, the sample is not random because the highest numbers have been selectee d. 6.507 is between .484 and 11.143 so we falil to reject a standard deviation of 20. However, the sample is no random because the highest numbers have been selected
