PLEASE USE EXCEL FORMULAS FOR ME TO FOLLOW WHEN APPLICABLE The Standard Issue Test Prep company offers an ACT prep course designed to help students improve their scores on the ACT exam. A mock exam is given at the beginning of the course to see where students are starting from. A sample of 27 students' scores are taken and given below: Using this data, answer questions below. CAUTION! If you are using your calculator for Parts A and B, double-check that you entered the data in your calculator correctly. One minor mistake in data entry can lead to a drastically different answer! Find the mean: ___________________. Round your answer appropriately. Find the standard deviation: ___________________. Round your answer appropriately. Assuming the population is normally distributed, construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean mock exam.

- BACKGROUND INFO: Use the information below to answer the CANCER SURVIVAL questions that follow. Some bronchial cancer patients had the following survival times (in days) after receiving a certain treatment: 20, 37, 63, 64, 72, 81, 138, 151, 155, 166, 166, 223, 245, 246, 450, 459. (The second instance of “166” is not a mistake.) Do these numbers suggest that the average survival time, for all bronchial cancer patients who receive that treatment, is significantly different from 200 days? QUESTION I NEED ANSWERED: Report an appropriate one-sample hypothesis test and use a 10% significance level. For Step 4 of the six-step process that was taught in this class, choose the BEST option to complete the following sentence: We assume that the sample of subjects is a SRS and we assume that the population of observations has no outliers ... A. and is symmetric. B. and is Uniformly distributed. C. and is skewed. D. and is without a doubt bell-shaped. E.

QUESTION I NEED TO BE ANSWERED: Report an appropriate one-sample hypothesis test and use a 10% significance level. For Step 6 of the six-step process that was taught in this class, what would be the final conclusion? A. The P-value is low so we cannot conclude that the average survival time is significantly different from 200 days. B. The P-value is not very low so our conclusion is that the average survival time is significantly different from 200 days. C. The P-value is not very low…arrow_forwardEthan and Drew went on a 10-day fishing trip. The number of smallmouth bass caught and released by the two boys each day is shown in the accompanying data table. Find the population mean and the range for the number of smallmouth bass caught per day by each fisherman. Do these values indicate any differences between the two fishermen's catches per day? Question 1 The range for the number of smallmouth bass caught per day by Ethan is? (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) The population mean for the number of smallmouth bass caught per day by Ethan is (Simplify your answer.) The range for the number of smallmouth bass caught per day by Drew is?
