Select the commodity of your best interest by ticking the box. You
should get the data table thru clicking "retrieve" button at the end part
of the list. ( You may use a commodity which is not explained in the
class)

5. Select the data among the month from 10 to 11 years as depicted
below. Paste it to your clipboard using your mouse. Use only the
numbers, not the month.
Apply statdisk and paste it on statdisk. You are then required to select
which column to be used. You have to choose column 1.
Week 1 DQ 2
There are two broad areas of statistics: inferential and descriptive. In
inferential statistics, we use analytical methods to derive meaning
from our data. In descriptive statistics, we study effective ways to
describe the data. Charts and graphs are very important in descriptive
statistics. Compare the graphs in Figures 2-6, 2-7, and 2-10 in the
text. What does each graph communicate? How effective is each
graph in communicating this information? How would you choose the
kind of graph to use for a specific project? Give an example

Week 2 DQ 1
Suppose a birdwatcher averages spotting 0.3 rare finches every day
during the two hours allotted for watching. This means that the

7. birdwatcher spots, on average, three rare finches every 10 days. The
average is based on considerable experience. Over a given 10-day
period, the birdwatcher sees zero rare finches in five days, and on the
sixth day, the birdwatcher declares, “I’m due to see a rare finch
today.”
Assume that the environmental conditions are reasonably constant
with no seasonal migratory issues involved. There is reasonably
consistent weather and there are no confounding (lurking, unseen)
variables involved. There is, however, a flaw in the birdwatcher’s
statement. What is the error and why is it wrong?
Would you choose the binomial pdf (probability distribution function)
or would you choose the Poisson pdf to better analyze the
birdwatcher's scenario (Triola, Sec. 4.3 & 4.4, 2006)? State the
necessary criteria for each distribution and support your decision.

together? Explain.

Week 3 DQ 1
What are the characteristics of a normal probability distribution
function (pdf).
What is the standard normal pdf? How is it related to the normal pdf
and why is it useful?

9. Explain the Empirical Rule? Is it used for rough estimates or precise
calculations?
Briefly tell how to use Table A-2 in the Appendix of our text to
calculate z-values (Triola, 2006). How is area under the standard
normal curve related to probability? Is the table arranged so that
probability is cumulative from the left or from the right?
Briefly tell how Statdisk may be used to give even more accurate
table values (Statdisk>> Analysis >> Probability Distributions >>
Normal Distribution).
Week 3 DQ 2
Precisely, in simple language, what is a confidence interval?
What is the difference between a statistic that is a point estimator and
one that is an interval estimator? When might you prefer an interval
estimator over a point estimator?
What is a confidence level with respect to a confidence interval?
What is a critical value and why is it important?
What happens to the margin of error for a confidence interval when
the sample size is increased? How is the margin of error related to the
width of the confidence interval? State this relationship in
mathematical terms.
What happens to the width of the confidence interval if the confidence
level is increased from 95% to 99%? That is, does the width increase
or decrease? Why?
What happens to the width of the confidence interval if n, the size of
the sample, is increased? Why?

State the criteria for choosing a t-test and a z-test. Then give an
example of a problem in which you would use z-test to evaluate the
data. Next, take the same example and modify it so that a t-test would
be preferable. Explain why.

In general terms:
· What is a null hypothesis?
· What is an alternative hypothesis?
Under American criminal jurisprudence, the accused is presumed
innocent until proven guilty beyond the “shadow of a doubt.”
· What is the null hypothesis?
· What is the alternative hypothesis?
· Explain how the Type I and Type II errors apply to the court system.

12. · In court, what is the equivalent of the test statistic upon which the
decision is based?
· In statistical terms, how would you define “shadow of a doubt?”
· In statistics, why should the decision always be stated in terms of the
null hypothesis? (That is: reject the null hypothesis or fail to reject the
null hypothesis.)

Identify a normally distributed variable related to your chosen life
science that serves as your example variable. Review the data sets
presented in Appendix B of the text and in Statdisk, selecting one that
corresponds with your chosen life science. Choose a particular
variable you would like to explore and use Statdisk to determine if its
distribution is approximately normal.
Note. Data Set 5: Passive and Active Smoke in the text does not
include normally distributed data and may not be used in this project.
Prepare a 12- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation that
explains confidence intervals in your chosen life science. Imagine that
you are responsible for educating first-year college students who are
majoring in your chosen life science. Explain to the students how and
why confidence intervals relate to their field.
Discuss the following questions:
What is a normal distribution? Describe your example variable and
explain why normally distributed data is important in your chosen life
science. Show the distribution of your example variable in a Statdisk-
generated image and demonstrate how to calculate the probability of a
range of values within this normal distribution.
What is a standard normal distribution? How does it differ from other
normal distributions? Convert the normally distributed example

14. variable within your chosen life science to a standard normal
distribution. Show this example in a Statdisk-generated image and
demonstrate how to calculate the probability of a range of values
within this standard normal distribution.
What is a confidence interval? Outline how confidence intervals may
be used in your chosen life science. Demonstrate how to define
confidence intervals within the normal distribution example variable.
What is a confidence level? Show how a confidence level relates to
the confidence interval using the example variable.
What is a critical value? Show how critical values relate to the
confidence interval using the example variable.
What is a margin of error? Describe how a margin of error relates to
confidence intervals and to your chosen life science.
Provide an example related to your example variable.
What is a point estimate? Explain how a point estimate found from a
confidence interval would be applied in your chosen life science.
Provide an example related to your example variable.
What can a confidence interval tell researchers in your chosen life
science about an estimate of population mean? Provide an example
related to your example variable.
What can a confidence interval tell researchers in your chosen life
science about an estimate of population variance? Provide an example
related to your example variable.
Include a title slide and conclusion slide, and cite at least four
references on a references slide.
Present the information about confidence intervals and your chosen
life science to the instructor and the class just as you would to
firstyear college students who need this information.
