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. The western United States has a number of four-lane interstate highways that cut through long tracts of wilderness. To prevent car accidents with wild animals, the highways are bordered on both sides with 12-foot-high woven wire fences. Although the fences prevent accidents, they also disturb the winter migration pattern of many animals. To compensate for this disturbance, the highways have frequent wilderness underpasses designed for exclusive use by deer, elk, and other animals. In Colorado, there is a large group of deer that spend their summer months in a region on one side of a highway and survive the winter months in a lower region on the other side. To…

a. Use technology to produce a dotplot and b a histogram of this distribution. Try a few different histograms, with varying subintervals, to find the one that you consider the best summary of the distribution. b. Write a few sentences describing the shape, center, and spread of this distribution.
In anticipation of an upcoming election, officials in Rising Falls County are looking at the distance from each voter's home to that voter's nearest polling station. Assume that the population of all such distances for voters in Rising Falls County is approximately normally distributed. An article for the newspaper Politically Sound claimed that the mean of this population is 5.15 km. You want to test this claim, so you select a random sample of 23 Rising Falls County voters, and for each you record the distance the voter lives from their nearest polling station. Follow the steps below to construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean of all the distances voters in Rising Falls County live from their nearest polling station. Then state whether the confidence interval you construct contradicts the reporter's claim. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results for your random sample. Take Sample Sample size: П Point estimate: 0…
