Applied Project: You have been asked by the Census Bureau to gather info about the
age (in years) of the people in Virginia; The information gathered will be used to better
understand the distribution of ages so that key decisions can be made within the State.
You will need to obtain the ages ( in years) of at least 30 individuals.
Find the following statistic; mean, median, mode, midrange, range, standard
deviation, variance, sample size, and—quartiles.
Construct a frequency table, histogram, stem-&--leaf plot and-box—plot ' .
Include a table that lists class limits, class boundaries, frequency and relative frequency.
Construct 90%, 95% and 99% confidence intervals about the mean of your data
Assuming that we have a normal distribution, calculate the following probabilities
- P(45<x<65)
- P(x<20)
- P(x>60)
- P(18<X<40)
7. Previous information gathered by the Bureau shows that the average age of a
person in VA is \(\mu \) = 46 . Assuming a normal distribution
- Use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that the average age of a person in VA is different from 46; use info from your sample. Explain the results.
- Use a 5% level of significance to test the claim that the average age of a person in VA is greater than the claim of 46. Explain the results.
Problem : A brewery claims that the consumers are getting a mean volume equal to 32. ounces of beer in their quart bottles. The Bureau of Weights and Measures randomly selects 36 bottles and obtains the following measures in ounces:
Using the sample standard deviation as an estimate for \({{\sigma }_{X}}\) test the claim of the brewery
at the 0.05 significance level.
