Please provide the following information for Problems 11-22. part (a):
(i) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses.
(ii)Check Requirements What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making? What is the value of the sample test statistic? Compute the corresponding z or t value as appropriate.
(iii)Find (or estimate) the P-value. Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.
(iv)Based on your answers in parts (i)—(iii), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level a?
(v)Interpret your conclusion in the context of the application.
Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value a small amount, and therefore produce a slightly more “conservative” answer. Answers may vary due to rounding.
Survey: Outdoor Activities A Michigan study concerning preference for outdoor activities used a questionnaire with a six-point Likert-type response in which 1 designated “not important" and 6 designated “extremely important." A random sample of
A Likert scale usually has to do with approval of or agreement with a statement in a questionnaire. For example, respondents are asked to indicate whether they “strongly agree," “agree," “disagree," or “strongly disagree" with the statement.
(a) Do these data indicate a difference (either way) regarding preference for camping versus preference for fishing as an outdoor activity? Use a 5% level of significance.
(b) Find a 95% confidence interval for

The company defines a "high-sales day" that is, any day with sales exceeding $4800. please provide a step by step on how to get the answers in excel Q: What percentage of days can the company expect to have "high-sales days" or sales greater than $4800? Q: What is the sales revenue threshold for the bottom 10% of days?

You aim to test whether the actual average daily sales differ significantly from this claimed value. You can provide your answer by inserting a text box and the answer must include: Null hypothesis, Alternative hypothesis, Show answer (output table/summary table), and Conclusion based on the P value.
