## 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?

Security scans are often completed on computers in a particular college to assess the security risk from viruses etc. A sample of 120 computers which are considered at risk for viruses and other security issues are checked with a particular security scanner on a Monday and then monitored over the following week. The number of computers which broke down over the following week were recorded. The results are as follows: Security Scan (% Risk) Breakdown No Breakdown Low Risk (0 - 10%) 3 61 Slight/Moderate Risk (10 – 30%) 13 28 High Risk (>30%) 12 3 (i) Based on the above sample work out the probability that a computer in the college will breakdown. Input your answer correct to 4 decimal places here: (ii) Based on the above sample work out the probability that a computer has a low risk level OR doesn't breakdown.

Your statistics instructor often ponders the relationship between commute time and job satisfaction while driving back and forth to campus. Your instructor hypothesizes that people with a shorter commute time will have higher degrees of job satisfaction. Randomly sampling 600 Valley commuters, the instructor finds the following data listed in frequencies: Table 2: Commuters by Length of Commute and Job Satisfaction Job Satisfaction Number Who Commute 20 Minutes or Less Number Who Commute 21 to 40 Minutes Number Who Commute 41 Minutes or More Total Number for Each Level of Job Satisfaction Dissatisfied 10 60 140 210 Neutral 45 59 51 155 Satisfied 145 60 30 235 Total Number for Each Commute Time Range 200 179 221 1.

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.

The respiratory disturbance index (RDI), which is the number of apneic and hypopneic episodes per hour of sleep, was used as a measure of severity of sleep apnea. An RDI of 5 or more indicates sleep-related breathing disturbances. The RDIs for the females and males samples in a study in US are as follows. Female 0.1 0.5 0.3 2.3 2.0 1.4 0.0 Male 2.6 19.3 1.4 1.0 0.0 39.2 4.1 0.0 2.1 1.1 5.6 5.0 7.0 2.3 4.3 7.5 16.5 7.8 3.3 8.9 7.3 At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the female patients are less suffer than male from the apnea disease?
