(a) Construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the true mean number of steps Dave takes on his run. (b) What sample size would be needed to obtain an error of ±20 steps with 95 percent confidence? (c) Using Excel, plot a line chart of the data. What do the data suggest about the pattern over time?

Is the area to the right of the left-tail critical value Chi-squared(1-alpha) of the chi-squared distribution always (1-alpha), and is the area to the left of this critical value always alpha? Does this apply to all chi-squared distributions?Please see image attached

Set up a free RStudio account at posit.cloud. At the start of your R session, you should enter the following commands. set.seed(1) e<-rnorm(n = 100,mean = 0,sd = 80) x<-seq(1,100,1) y<-10+15*x + e Follow the examples in the Panopto Videos to use R to obtain the values requested below. (As always, if you round your answers, make sure you do so correctly and keep at least three decimal places.) (a) The smallest value of y = (b) The largest value of y = (c) The standard deviation of y = (d) The mean of y = (e) The median of y = (f) The correlation between x and y = : (g) Using the variable e as data, the p-value for a test of Hoμ = 0 vs. HA μ0 is

Does Chi-squared(alpha) always represent the right tail of the the chi-square distribution and does Chi-squared(1-alpha) always represent the left tail of the the chi-square distribution. Also, for a standard normal distribution would Z(1-alpha) be equivalent to -Zalpha in represneting the left tail of the standard normal distribution curve because they both have the same z-score. Furthermore, is my understanding correct in the sense that if we have a critical value,say Zalpha, would the area to the right of it will be alpha and to the left of it would be 1-alpha
