- Mortgage Rates The following table is taken from the website of Freddie Mac. It shows rates for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages since 1970. y=Year r=Mortgagerate 1975 9.05 1980 13.74 1985 12.43 1990 10.13 1995 7.93 2000 8.05 2005 5.87 2010 4.69 2015 3.84 a. Explain in practical terms the meaning of r(2003). b. Use the table to estimate the value of r(2003).arrow_forwardStock Market The week of September 15, 2008 was one of the most volatile weeks ever for the US stock market.

- Part 2. Refer to the Excel file Cereal data set to complete the following tasks. All results and explanations need to be reported within this Word document after each question. Make sure to use complete sentences when explaining your results. Your results should be formatted and edited. Data Set: Cereals The data set shows the name of different brands of cereals, the manufacturers, the total calories, proteins, sugar, fat, potassium, sodium, location of the shelf in the supermarket, etc. The amount of sugar, protein, etc., is measured in grams (g). Exercise 1: A. Construct a frequency distribution and a bar graph for the cereal manufactures (mfr). Include the relative frequencies. Edit and format the graph and include appropriate labels for the horizontal and vertical axes. Describe your findings in the context of the problem (Include which manufacturer produces the most cereals and least number of cereals in the cereal market).

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 ...

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_forwardPlease help me with this question thank youarrow_forwardWhich statement(s) are accurate in their description of frequency and two-way tables? Select all that apply. a Relative frequency must be expressed as a percent. b The ratio that describes how many times a specific event occurs divided by the total number of events is called the data ratio. c Frequency is the amount of times that a specific event has occurred. d A two-way table is a way to describe frequencies for two variables. The rows and columns in the table must display the same categories.arrow_forward
