Formula used:

COUNTIFS(criteria_range1, criteria1, [criteria_range2, criteria2]…)

Calculation:

Import the data of SEX and WEIGHT APRIL from the provided data set then apply filter to the data. Data of male and female is provided.

Copy the data of male shown in screen shot:

MyLab Statistics  with Pearson eText -- Standalone Access Card -- for Biostatistics for the Biological and Health Sciences (My Stat Lab), Chapter 2.1, Problem 20SLCT , additional homework tip  1

Make the class interval starting from 40 with the class width 10 in each interval:

    Class-Interval
    40-49
    50-59
    60-69

Applying the function COUNTIFS for calculating frequencies as shown below:

MyLab Statistics  with Pearson eText -- Standalone Access Card -- for Biostatistics for the Biological and Health Sciences (My Stat Lab), Chapter 2.1, Problem 20SLCT , additional homework tip  2

This is the formula for first class interval and in all the class intervals apply the same formula only values of 40 and 49 will change by 50 and 59,60 and 69 and so on respectively. After applying the formula the result will be:

    Class-IntervalFrequency
    40-492
    50-5917
    60-6916

According to the above created table the data is approximately normally distributed.

And by looking at the data we can see that it does not appear that males gain 15 lb during their freshman year.

A market research firm used a sample of individuals to rate the purchase potential of a particular product before and after the individuals saw a new television commercial about the product. The purchase potential ratings were based on a 0 to 10 scale, with higher values indicating a higher purchase potential. The null hypothesis stated that the mean rating "after" would be less than or equal to the mean rating "before." Rejection of this hypothesis would show that the commercial improved the mean purchase potential rating. Use  = .05 and the following data to test the hypothesis and comment on the value of the commercial.   Purchase Rating   Purchase Rating Individual After Before Individual After Before 1 6 5 5 3 5 2 6 4 6 9 8 3 7 7 7 7 5 4 4 3 8 6 6 What are the hypotheses?H0: d Ha: d  Compute    (to 3 decimals).Compute sd (to 1 decimal).
