Question 1

Part A

Population characteristics of interest is cars

Part B

Step 1

The fact that we want to determine if the mean tire pressure in the front left tire for cars that have

recommended 32 psi tire pressure is lower than 32 psi we need to test:

Ho: u = 32

Ha: u = < 32

Step 2

Due to the large sample size we will use one-sample t-test for mean

To get one-sample mean we use

Substitute

Step 3

Determining the p-value of the test

Considering the sample size of 50, the degree of freedom for a t-distribution is df = n - 1 we have

the needed degree of freedom df =50 – 1 = 49. ( there is no 50 on the table hence use 49 which is

the closest number). On the table we need to come up with a value closest to (t) = 4.48 which is

3.00. The value on the table is 0.002.

(t) = 4.48 less that 0.002 due to the approximation of 3.00 < t) = 4.48
STATISTICS 3

We can finally conclude that the p-value of this test is

P – value < 0.002

Step 4

Choose between the hypotheses

The fact that the p – value is less than the level of significance which is 50 this is enough reason

to reject the null hypothesis in favor of the other hypothesis.

Step 5

Conclusion

Sample data proved beyond reasonable doubt that we should reject the null hypothesis. We can

overlook the claim that the mean tire pressure in the front left tire of car with a recommended tire

pressure 23 psi is indeed 32 psi and conclude that is less than needed 32 psi.

Part C

Confidence interval does not support my conclusion due to the fact that there is a huge margin in

terms of the tire pressure where by cars have 23 psi less that the recommended 32 psi this

difference surpass the 95% confidence interval.

Part D
STATISTICS 4

Part E

Part F

Similar distribution will destabilize the car since some tires will have more pressure compared to

others

Question 2

Part A

438/685 x 100

= 63.9%

Part B

374/984 x 100

= 38%

Part C

There is an observed relationship between political party and opinion about the gun control law,

this is reflected on the high number of Democrats who support gun control laws as opposed to

only 38% of Republicans.

Part D

There is indeed a relationship in population due to the fact that Democrats have supporters and

their decision on gun control laws is highly dictated by their suppers.

STATISTICS 5

Part E

This short outline proposes that the human capital earning is present. A simple regression model

with a linear tutoring term and a low-request polynomial in potential experience clarify 20-35%

of the variety in noticed income information, with unsurprising and accurately assessed

coefficients in practically all applications.

Part F

Age as a variable can change my view on my view of employee with previous experience salary.

Assuming that that years of experience is used to decide one salary.

Part G

Previous personal experience is has an impact on one salary, this is demonstrated by 5.810

standard error.

Question 3

Part A

A one sample binomial test will be the best choice as it helps in testing if the proportion of

success on two-level definite dependable variable significantly differs from a hypothesized

value.

Part B

P-value < 0.01

In other words, the proportion of low income employees in this sample does not significantly

differ from the hypothesized value of 50%.

Part C

High income employees needs more time to exercise as their sample differ from the value

provided.
STATISTICS 6

Part D

Two independent sample t-test will be the best test technique as it compare the mean of normally

distributed interval dependent variable for two independent groups.

Part E

It will be unusual for an unemployed individual to exercise for the same amount of time as an

average individual employed in a high income job due to the fact that the data sample is

distributed within one standard mean providing margin error in terms of time both group

exercise.

Question 4

Part A

Demand = Lead time days x monthly demand / work days per month

= 7 x 240/30

= 56%

Part B

Reorder Point = Safety Stock + Average Sales x Lead time

= 95 + 60 x 7

= 1085 units is the best reorder point

Part C

With the help of statistics I am able to find patterns and predict certain outcomes and behaviors

in all sort of stuff. There are the rational and objective approach to random and uncertain

phenomenon, and to inference from imperfect information and generalization from limited data,

which is of great practical use (Suhov & Kelbert, 2017). Probability and statistics has played a
STATISTICS 7

huge role in calculating random events. Probability has trained me to make decisions in

situations which there are observable patterns, but a degree of uncertainty.
