Discuss the significance of an influential point in a scatter plot.
Many people now turn to the internet to get information on health-related topics. A research article used Flesch reading ease scores (a measure of reading difficulty based on factors such as sentence length and number of syllables in the words used) to score pages on Wikipedia and on WebMD. Higher Flesch scores correspond to more difficult reading levels. The paper reported that for a representative sample of health-related pages on Wikipedia, the mean Flesch score was 26.3 and the standard deviation of the Flesch scores was 14.3. For a representative sample of pages from WebMD, the mean score was 43.3 and the standard deviation was 19.6. Suppose that these means and standard deviations were based on samples of 40 pages from each site. Is there convincing evidence that the mean reading level for health-related pages differs for Wikipedia and WebMD? Test the relevant hypotheses using a significance level of 0.05. (Use ₁ for Wikipedia and #₂ for WebMD.) State the appropriate null and…
Suppose you run a non-for-profit organization focused to keeping national parks free of litter. Crucial to getting donations to your non-for-profit is email advertising. One way to measure the success of your email advertising is to measure the amount of money coming from links to donate on your emails. Normally, your emails contain only words and numbers about litter in national parks. You believe that including images of littered areas of national parks might increase the amount in donations that you get through emails. To test if this is true, you randomly assign 50 individuals to receive the new email format with images and 42 to receive your usual email format (this is called an A/B test). The new email format had an average donation per recipient of$5.50 with a standard deviation of$2.75 while the old email format had an average donation per recipient of$3.50 with a standard deviation of$2.50. Does the average donation differ between the new and old email formats? Letμ1be the…

On December 17, 2007 baseball writer John Hickey wrote an article for the Seattle P-I about increases to ticket prices for Seattle Mariners games during the 2008 season. The article included a data set that listed the average ticket price for each MLB team, the league in which the team plays (AL or NL), the number of wins during the 2007 season and the cost per win (in dollars). The data for the 16 National League teams are shown below. league price wins cost/win team Arizona Diamondbacks NL 19.68 90 35.40 Atlanta Braves NL 17.07 84 32.89 Chicago Cubs NL 34.30 85 65.33 cincinnati Reds NL 17.90 72 40.32 Colorado Rockies NL 14.72 90 26.67 Florida Marlins NL 16.70 71 38.13 Houston Astros NL 26.66 73 59.11 Los Angeles Dodgers 20.09 82 34.64 NL Milwaukee Brewers NL 18.11 83 35.37 N.Y.
