## Analysis of Monthly Motorcycle Rider Fatality Data### IntroductionThe following data set represents a randomly selected set of motorcycle rider fatalities in a region of the northern hemisphere. The goal is to determine, using a 0.05 significance level, if these fatalities occur with equal frequency throughout the months. This analysis will provide insight into whether there are seasonal variations or other factors influencing the rate of fatalities.### Monthly Data on Motorcycle Rider Fatalities| Month | Number of Fatalities ||----------|----------------------|| January | 7 || February | 10 || March | 13 || April | 18 || May | 19 || June | 27 || July | 25 || August | 27 || September| 26 || October | 12 || November | 9 || December | 9 |### Hypothesis Testing**Task: Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that such fatalities occur with equal frequency in the different months.**#### Steps:A. **Determine the null and alternative hypothesis.** - **Null Hypothesis (H0):** Motorcycle rider fatalities occur with equal frequency in different months. - **Alternative Hypothesis (H1):** Motorcycle rider fatalities do not occur with equal frequency in different months.B. **Calculate the test statistic (χ²).** - The test statistic for this data is calculated using the Chi-Square (χ²) test for goodness of fit.C. **Determine the P-value.** - After calculating the χ² value from the observed and expected frequencies, the P-value is determined. This can be found using statistical tables or software that provides Chi-Square distribution data.D. **Determine the conclusion for the hypothesis test.** - Based on the P-value and the significance level of 0.05, conclude whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis.### Graphical RepresentationTo better understand the data, create a bar graph with months on the x-axis and the number of fatalities on the y-axis. This visual representation helps to quickly identify any potential trends or anomalies within the data.*Example Conclusion:*If the P-value calculated is less than 0.05, reject the null hypothesis, indicating that motorcycle rider fatalities do not occur with equal frequency throughout the year.**Sample Interpretation

From the given data: Null and Alternate Hypothesis: H0: Fatalities have uniform distribution H1:…

Randomly selected deaths of motorcycle riders in a region of the northern hemisphere are summarized in the accompanying table. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that such fatalities occur with equal frequency in the different months. How might the results be explained?

An article compared five different methods for teaching descriptive statistics. The five methods were traditional lecture and discussion, programmed textbook instruction, programmed text with lectures computer instruction, and computer instruction with lectures. 60 students were randomly assigned, 12 to each method. After completing the course, students took a 1-hour exam. We are interested in finding out if the average test scores are different for the different teaching methods. The p-value of the test is 0.0372. What is the conclusion of the test if the level of significance is αα=0.10? There is enough evidence to conclude that all five group means are significantly different from each other. There is not enough evidence to conclude that all five group means are sigificantly different from one another. There is enough evidence to conclude that at least one group mean is significantly different from others. There is not enough evidence to conclude that at least one…
Acne is a common skin disease that affects most adolescents and can continue into adulthood. A study compared the effectiveness of three acne treatments and a placebo, all in gel form, applied twice daily for 12 weeks. The study's 517 teenage volunteers were randomly assigned to one of the four treatments. Success was assessed as clear or almost clear skin at the end of the 12 week period. The results of the study can be seen in the table below. Using the appropriate statistical test, determine if there is significant evidence that the four treatments perform differently. If so, how do they compare.

What is the missing value for MS(BW)? Answer choices: 40, 10, 2, 5 You have an ANOVA source table with the following information: Three treatment groups with a sample of n = 10 participants in each treatment.

A school had a lot of problems with student absences and wanted to try a intervention program to see if it encouraged students to come to school more often. As a trial, 26 students were split into two equal size groups. Group 1 would get the new intervention and Group 2 got no intervention. The mean- number of absences was calculated after one month for each group, as shown in the table below. What inference can be made about the results? Group 1 Group 2 3 5 3 1 3 2 3 4 1 3 2 1 2 3 3 4 2 5 1 3 1 6 4 2 1 2 Mean: 2.2 Mean: 3.2 Frequency200 Simulated Group Mean Differences Since the simulation shows FEW CASES OR Many Cases. where a mean difference of ___ or less occurred when the groups were re-randomized, it can be inferred that the mean difference observed in the study was VERY POSSIBLY OR VERY UNLIKELY due to the random assignment of participants into groups, so the results…

A poll was conducted to investigate opinions about global warming. The respondents who answered yes when asked if there is solid evidence that the earth is getting warmer were then asked to select a cause of global warming. The results are given in the accompanying data table. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the sex of the respondent is independent of the choice for the cause of global warming.
