Samantha is studying different species of irises. During her fieldwork, she recorded the length of the sepal in millimeters of two different species, I. setosa and I. virginica. She wants to know if the two species differ in sepal length or not. Using the software tool you prefer, perform a two-sample t-test for the difference between means to decide whether the two species of irises have different sepal lengths. You may find this list of software manuals helpful in computing...
stion 2 of 10> Suppose Nathan, an avid baseball card collector, is interested in studying the proportions of common, uncommon, and rar baseball cards found in newly purchased card packs. Each card pack contains exactly 10 baseball cards. The fine print on each pack of cards says that, on average, 75% of the cards in each pack are common, 20% are uncommon, and 5% are rare. Nathan wishes to test the validity of this claimed distribution, so he randomly selects...

The Ohio Department of Education maintains records of average number of years of teaching experience for each public school in the state. During the 2012-2013 school year, it was reported that the average number of years of teaching experience at Ohio high schools was 14.3 years. Suppose that an intern working in educational policy research wants to determine whether the average number of years of teaching experience of teachers in Ohio high schools changed between the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 school...
In particular, note the variables Barefoot and Footwear5. Barefoot
represents a subject's range of ankle motion (in degrees) while
barefoot, and Footwear5 represents their range of ankle motion (in
degrees) while wearing compression hosiery and medical shoes.
Use this data and your preferred software to calculate the equation
of the least-squares linear regression line to predict a subject's
range of ankle motion while wearing compression hosiery and medical
shoes,
?̂
, based on their range of ankle motion while barefoot,...
