Over the past 10 years, contestants at the county fair hotdog eating contest averaged 125 hotdogs within the 1 minute time frame. (How did they do this? I have no idea). Anyway, due to Covid19 restrictions, while we continue to assume everything is normal, including distributions, there were only 15 contestants who ate an average of 122 hotdogs. s=6.5 and amazingly enough, everyone's hotdog quantity eaten was within a very narrow quantity difference. We're interested in finding out if there is significant change in hotdog eating. Use the hypothesis that H0: µ=125, Ha: #125. What distribution should we use? binomial distribution unimodal distribution z-distribution t-distribution

A restaurant manager is planning a new layout for the tables in his store. He will be placing tables of 2, tables of 4, and tables of 6 throughout the dining room. To help him decide how many of each he needs, he decides to keep track of all table requests by customers during a 2-week period. Which measure of central tendency would BEST indicate the typical table size needed?
The length of fish were measured at 3 different lakes. Is there evidence to suggest that the average length is not the same at all 3 locations? Lake 1: 3.5, 4.2, 2.1, 3.2, 1.7 Lake 2: 5.1, 6.2, 5.3,4.1 Lake 3: 5.6, 7.1, 6.4, 7.1, 6.4 What is your conclusion? There is not evidence that the mean length at one of the lakes is different then the others. There is evidence hat the mean length at a least one lake is different then the others.
Each of the boxplots shown summarizes 24 student scores on a recent test in two different classes. The boxplots are drawn using a common numerical scale. Which of the following must be true? 1. The lower 25% of Class B are much more spread out than the lower 25% of Class A 2. More people scored below the lower quartile for Class A than Class B 3. The distribution for Class B is skewed left and has a noticeable outlier as well, while the distribution for Class A is somewhat skewed right 4.Class A had more people between the median and the lower quartile than Class B. 3.The distribution for Class A is somewhat symmetric, while the distribution for Class B is skewed right with a noticeable outlier as well
To determine whether caffeine consumption affects the ability to solve math problems, a researcher had one group solve math problems after taking a cup of caffeinated drink and another group solve math problems after taking a cup of water. The group who took the caffeinated drink completed 35 problems in one hour and the group that had water completed 20 problems in one hour. Assuming the number of problems solved is normally distributed in each group, what statistical test would be used to test the research hypothesis? Explain your answer.

A pharmaceutical company makes tranquilizers. It is assumed that the distribution for the length of time they last is approximately normal. Researchers in a hospital used the drug on a random sample of 9 patients. The effective period of the tranquilizer for each patient (in hours) was as follows: 2.5; 2.8; 3.1; 2.3; 2.3; 2.2; 2.8; 2.1; and 2.4. 1.Which distribution should you use for this problem? (Enter your answer in the form z or tdf where df is the degrees of freedom.) 2. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean length of time. (i) State the confidence interval. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) ( , ) (iii) Calculate the error bound. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Statistics Question
For this project you have to do the following: 1) list five different things that are normally distributed. Examples that you can't use since I came up with them: Shoe size, middle finger length, oxygen level, electricity bill, wait times on line to pay at target. You must give the website where you found that they are normal for each one of them. 2) measure yourself and use the normal distribution to find out what percent of the population is less than use. What this means is that for one of the five things in 1) you need to make sure that you can find the mean and standard deviation. So an example would be: I found the oxygen level mean and standard deviation to be 98.3 and 1.1. My oxygen level is 98.9. Using the normal distribution calculator I found that 69.3% of the population has a lower measure of that.
Historically it has been observed that patients admitted to a certain hospital for treatment of influenza spend a MEAN length of 4.4 days in the hospital. Every flu season, different strains of the flu circulate: Some years the primary strain causes more severe illness (and presumably longer than average hospital stays) and other years less so (meaning presumably shorter than average stays). We assume the hospital stays are NORMALLY distributed. a. A hospital wants to see how this year's flu season compares to previous years. Therefore, state the null and alternate hypotheses that would be used to test whether the hospital is seeing a mean hospital stay that is significantly DIFFERENT than the historical mean of 4.4 days. b. FIFTEEN patients admitted for influenza treatment are then randomly sampled and the length of their hospital stay in days is given below. 4641056443743774 SAMPLE MEAN =? SAMPLE STANDARD DEVIATION =? c. Using the results of part (b), determine what type of test is…
What is the difference between the t and z distributions? Which is used more in biological research? Explain your anwser.
In a previous problem, we saw two distributions for triathlon times: N(u = 4313; o = 583) for Men, Ages 30 - and N(u = 5261; o = 807) for the Women, Ages 25 - 29 group. Times are listed in seconds. Use this information to compute each of the following: 34 a) The cutoff time for the fastest 5% of athletes in the men's group, i.e. those who took the shortest 5% of time to finish. seconds (Round to the nearest second.) b) The cutoff time for the slowest 10% of athletes in the women's group. seconds (Round to the nearest second.)

Use the following scenario to answer the next 6 questions: M&Ms are your favorite vending machine snack and you purchase them often. Lately, it seems like the bags have been having a disproportionate distribution of the colors. The company claims that 24% of the candies per bag should be blue. You decide to test this claim for yourself. You purchase a large bag and find that 38 of the 224 candies are blue. Before complaining to the company, you want to be fairly sure of your accusation, so you set a 1% significance level for your test. Do you have sufficient evidence that the color distribution is different than advertised? Based on the data, the value of the test statistic is:
