Weight (lbs) 140 160 140 149 165 125 235 260 190

1. Construct a confidence interval to estimate the mean height and the mean weight.

∝=0.05

a. Find the sample mean and the sample standard deviation of the height.

b. Find the sample mean and the sample standard deviation of the weight.

c. Construct a confidence interval to estimate the mean height.

d. Construct a confidence interval to estimate the mean weight.

2. Test a claim that the mean height of WCU students is not equal to 64 inches using the p-value method or the traditional method. ∝=0.05

a. State H0 and H1

b. Find the p value or critical value(s). (Use the tables on the green sheet)

c. Draw a conclusion.

3. a. Find the correlation coefficient between the height and the weight.

b. Construct the equation of the regression line.

c. Predict the weight of a student who is 68 inches tall.

4. Write a well-developed paragraph or two about what you have learned from this process. When you read, see, or hear a statistic in the future, what skills will you apply to know whether or not you can trust the result?
