Is there evidence that the average temperatures are significantly different
in La Niña and El Niño years? Also, find a 90% CI for the difference.
2. A nutritionist claims that 75% of the preschool children in a certain
country have protein deficient diets. A sample survey reveals that 206
preschool children in a sample of 300 have protein deficient diets. Test
the claim at the 0.02 level of significance. Also, estimate the p-value.
5. The mean protein intake was measured for three groups of women: (1)
women eating a standard American diet (STD), (2) women eating a
lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet (LAC), and (3) women eating a strict vegetar-
ian diet (VEG). The mean and sd for protein intake (mg) are below.

(25) (a) Consider any two variables from your dataset. You should have a series of data for each variable. Try to work with a bigger sample size and select data where the variables have some causal relationship. Like one is a dependent and the other is an independent variable.

A job placement director claims that mean starting wage for nurses in New Mexico is $25 per hour. We suspect that this number is too opti- mistic. A random sample of 20 nurses' wages has a mean $22.6 and a standard deviation of $1.2 per hour. Is there enough evidence to reject the director's claim at a = 0.01? Also, estimate the p-value.arrow_forward6. For a group of students, their scores for English course (7) and for Cal- culus course (y) were recorded.
