Beef Consumption. According to Food Consumption, Prices, and Expenditures, published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the mean consumption of beef per person in 2011 was 57.5 lb. A sample of 40 people taken this year yielded the data, in pounds, on last year’s beef consumption given on the WeissStats site. Use the technology of your choice to do the following. a. Obtain a normal probability plot, a boxplot, a histogram, and a stem-and-leaf diagram of the data on beef consumptions. b. Decide, at the 5% significance level, whether last year’s mean beef consumption is less than the 2011 mean of 57.5 lb. Apply the onemean t-test. c. The sample data contain four potential outliers: 0, 0, 0, and 13. Remove those four observations, repeat the hypothesis test in part (b), and compare your result with that obtained in part (b). d. Assuming that the four potential outliers are not recording errors, comment on the advisability of removing them from the sample data before performing the…

Please help me in answering the following practice question:Given a random sample of the amount of protein (in gram) in one bag of snack food: 0.95, 0.85, 0.92, 0.95, 0.93, 0.86, 1, 0.92, 0.85, 0.81, 0.78, 0.93, 0.93, 1.05, 0.93, 1.06, 1.06, 0.96, 0.81, 0.96 Here, it is assumed that the amount of protein in the snack is normal. How would I calculate a 98% two-sided confidence interval for the average amount of protein in one bag?Thank you for your help in advance!
Suppose a sample of O-rings was obtained and the wall thickness (in inches) of each was recorded. Use a normal probability plot to assess whether the sample data could have come from a population that is normally distributed. 0.163 0.182 0.194 0.211 0.224 0.225 0.233 0.243 0.251 0.259 0.271 0.273 0.295 0.307 0.317 0.340 Click here to view the table of critical values for normal probability plots. Click here to view page 1 of the standard normal distribution table. Click here to view page 2 of the standard normal distribution table. Using the correlation coefficient of the normal probability plot, is it reasonable to conclude that the population is normally distributed? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes within your choice. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) A. No. The correlation between the expected z-scores and the observed data, normal population. does not exceed the critical value, Therefore, it is not reasonable to conclude that the data come from…
