A coordinate system has a horizontal x-axis labeled from 20 to 60 in increments of 2 and a vertical y-axis labeled from 20 to 60 in increments of 2. Data points are plotted at (28,45), (30,51), (32,56), (34,50), and (36,46). A parabola opens downward and passes through the points (28,45.7), (30,52.4), (32,54.7), (34,52.6), and (36,46.0).

The local energy company claims the average annual electricity bill for its subscribers is just $600. A consumer watchdog group wants to dispute this claim. All agree that the standard deviation sigma of annual electricity bills is $150.
Some time later, a wealthy activist provides funding for a simple random sample of 250 households. The average annual electricity bill for this sample is $622. Find a $95\mathrm{\%}$ confidence interval for the true mean annual electric bill, based on this sample.

The correct statement which is incorrect from the options about the sampling distribution of the sample mean
(a) the standard deviation of the sampling distribution will decrease as the sample size increases,
(b) the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is a measure of the variability of the sample mean among repeated samples,
(c) the sample mean is an unbiased estimator of the true population mean,
(d) the sampling distribution shows how the sample mean will vary in repeated samples,
(e) the sampling distributions shows how the sample was distributed around the sample mean.

Calculate confidence intervals for ratio of two population variances and ratio of standard deviations. Assume that samples are simple random samples and taken from normal populations. a) ${\displaystyle \alpha =0.05,n_1=30,s_1=16.37,n_2=39,s_2=9.88}$ b) ${\displaystyle \alpha =0.01,n_1=25,s_1=5.2,n_2=20,s_2=6.8}$

In a study of the accuracy of fast food​ drive-through orders, Restaurant A had 298 accurate orders and 51 that were not accurate. a. Construct a 90​% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of orders that are not accurate. b. Compare the results from part​ (a) to this 90​% confidence interval for the percentage of orders that are not accurate at Restaurant​ B: ${\displaystyle 0.127<p<0.191}$. What do you​ conclude? a. Construct a 90​% confidence interval. Express the percentages in decimal form. ___

To Explain:the expected the mean, median,standard deviation and IQR to change.

Which of the following is true about the sampling distribution of means?
A. Shape of the sampling distribution of means is always the same shape as the population distribution, no matter what the sample size is.
B. Sampling distributions of means are always nearly normal.
C. Sampling distributions of means get closer to normality as the sample size increases.
D. Sampling distribution of the mean is always right skewed since means cannot be smaller than 0.

Decide which of the following statements are true. Answer: square Normal distributions are bell-shaped, but they do not have to be symmetric. square The line of symmetry for all normal distributions is x square On any normal distribution curve, you can find data values more than 5 standard v square deviations above the mean. square The x-axis is a horizontal asymptote for all normal distributions.

Describe a possible application of hypothesis testing to a business setting. The application you describe need not be a real one (one that has actually occurred), it can be an application that you invent. You should describe a) what the business setting is b) what data you would use c) what null hypothesis you would test and what the alternative hypothesis is. d) what type of test you would use e) You should explain what level of significance you would use and why. f) You should explain how to interpret the outcome of the test: what does it tell you if you could reject or could not reject the null hypothesis? g) Finally, you should explain the possible advantages of using hypothesis testing in this application and its possible downsides dangers (when how using a hypothesis test could lead to mistaken inferences or erroneous decisions).

The homebuilder’s association reports that $75\mathrm{\%}$ of home buyers would like a fireplace in their new home. A local builder finds that 20 out of 30 of his customers wanted a fireplace. Using the p value decision rule determine at the 5% level of significance is there is enough evidence from the sample to conclude that the homebuilders report is too high?
If P is too high in ${\displaystyle H_0}$ then what should it be in ${\displaystyle H_1}$?
Also construct a ${\displaystyle (1-\alpha )\mathrm{\%}}$ interval estimate for the true proportion P.
Make sure to state the meaning of P first…and completely interpret the CI for P.

Explain the effect of correcting the error has on the IQR and the standard deviation.
The professor calculated the IQR and the standard deviation of the test scores in question 6 before realizing her mistake that is she entered the top score as 46 but it was actually 56.

It is estimated that aproximately ${\displaystyle 8.36\mathrm{\%}}$ Americans are afflicted with Diabetes .
Suppose that a ceratin diagnostic evaluation for diabetes will correctly diagnose ${\displaystyle 94.5\mathrm{\%}}$ of all adults over 40 with diabetes as having the disease and incorrectly diagnoses ${\displaystyle 2\mathrm{\%}}$ of all adults over 40 without diabetes as having the disease .
1) Find the probability that a randamly selected adult over 40 doesn't have diabetes and is diagnosed as having diabetes ( such diagnoses are called "false positives").
2) Find the probability that a randomly selected adult of 40 is diagnosed as not having diabetes.
3) Find the probability that a randomly selected adult over 40 actually has diabetes , given that he/she is diagnosed as not having diabetes (such diagnoses are called "false negatives").
Note: It will be helpful to first draw an appropriate tree diagram modeling the situation.

The pathogen Phytophthora capsici causes bell pepper plants to wilt and die. A research project was designated to study the effort of soil water content and the spread of the disease in fields of bell peppers. It is thought that too much water helps spread the disease. The fields were divided into rows and quadrants. The soil water content (percent of water by volume of soil) was determined for each plot. An important first step in such a research is to give a statistical description of the data.

Prove that the reduced row echelon forms of the matrices$\left(\begin{array}{cccccccc}1& 1& 4& 8& 0& -1& -1& \\ 1& 2& 3& 9& 0& -5& -2\\ 0& -2& 2& -2& 1& 14& 3\\ 1& 4& 1& 11& 0& -13& -4\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{ccccc}0& -3& 3& 1& 5\\ 0& 1& -1& 0& 0\\ 0& 2& -2& 0& -3\end{array}\right)$

are the two matrices. 

The point of the reduced row echelon form is that the corresponding system of linear equations is in a particularly simple form, from which the solutions to the system $AX=Cin(4)$ can be determined immediately.
