Maintaining your balance may get harder as you grow older. A study was conducted to see how steady the elderly are on their feet. They had a random sample of subjects stand on a force platform and have them react to a noise. The force platform then measured how much they swayed forward and backward, and the data are in the table below.

P: Parameter
What is the correct parameter symbol for this problem?
What is the wording of the parameter in the context of this problem?
H: Hypotheses
Fill in the correct null and alternative hypotheses:
H0:H0: mm
HA:HA: mm
A: Assumptions
Since information was collected from each object, what conditions do we need to check?
Check all that apply.
- n(pˆ)≥10n(p̂)≥10
- np≥10np≥10
- n(1−p)≥10n(1-p)≥10
- σσ is unknown
- n(1−pˆ)≥10n(1-p̂)≥10
- σσ is known
- n≥30n≥30 or normal population
- N≥20nN≥20n
- no outliers in the data
- outliers in the data
Check those assumptions:
1. Is the value of σσ known?
2. Given the following modified boxplot (If using a screenreader, use technology to generate a boxplot, then asnwer the question below):
