1. State if you agree or disagree with the choices made for additional analysis
that can be done beyond the frequency table.
2. Choose a measure of central tendency (mean, median, mode) that you
would like to compute with the data beyond the frequency table. Complete
either a or b below.
a. Explain how that analysis can help you understand the data better.
b. If you are currently unable to do that analysis, what do you think you
could do to make it possible? If you do not think you can do

What is the 95% confidence interval of this mean difference?arrow_forwardIn order to find probability, you can use this formula in Microsoft Excel: The best way to understand and solve these problems is by first drawing a bell curve and marking key points such as x, the mean, and the areas of interest. Once marked on the bell curve, figure out what calculations are needed to find the area of interest. =NORM.DIST(x, Mean, Standard Dev., TRUE). When the question mentions “greater than” you may have to subtract your answer from 1. When the question mentions “between (two values)”, you need to do separate calculation for both values and then subtract their results to get the answer. 1.
