INTRODUCTION Statistics deals with methods which help in estimating the characteristics of a population or making decisions concerning a population on the basis of the sample results. Sample and population are the two relative terms. A population is treated as universe and a sample is fraction or segment of the universe. Statistics describe the data and consists of the methods and technique used in the collection, organization, presentation and analysis of data in order to describe the various

Cereal Cheaters (CCACC) In the previous correspondence to your office dated April 27, 2014, analysis of data was presented to you showing that Consumers Concerned About Cereal Cheaters (CCACC) misrepresented the Oxford Cereals packaged weights for two (2) of their cereals, Oxford O’s and Alpine Granola Frosted Flakes. I have received further statistical data from Oxford Cereals in support of its claims that CCACC has indeed misrepresented their company related to the packaged weights. This additional

Task 1 explores a little bit into confidence interval and how the width can be affected by the sample size. Students are expected to acquire the mean (average) of a normal population with a population variance of 1 and a confidence interval of 95%. In this task, we will see the relationship between sample size and width in detail by plotting graphs. We will also explore on the accuracy of an interval and how it can be increased or decreased by varying the value of the width. Variance, σ^2 = 1 Standard

Before being able to fully understand hypothesis testing and the five steps involved in the complete process, one must first understand what a hypothesis and a hypothesis test is and why it is used. To begin with, a hypothesis, when involved in statistics, is an idea which could be set in the form of an assumption or a theory that shows the characteristics of a single or even multiple variables of a single or group of populations (Aron, Aron & Coups, 2009). These ideas or predictions need to be explored

The purpose of this paper is to review the hypothesis testing of the influence bank account balances have on ATM transactions. Team A will use a two-sample hypothesis test to compare two means to examine the hypothesis. The first part of the process will develop the hypothesis statement numerically and verbally. The test begins with the determination of the level of significance and decision rule whether to accept or not reject the null hypothesis. Calculating the test statistic will provide

listen to other genres while studying. A sample of 61 college students was taken and of those 16 reported that they listen to classical music while studying and obtain a GPA of 3.1 or above. We used proportional hypothesis testing to keep our data simple and precise. Our hypothesis was that 50% of students with GPAs 3.1 or above listened to classical music while studying. After extensive research and advanced calculations we have decided to reject this hypothesis. To gather our data we created

statistics to evaluate the performance of your business. Taking all factors into account, determine whether you are making or losing money. In addition, determine the trend of your business. For example, determine whether, over time, you are making more or less profit (or loss). Track the share of the market that your business holds, and how this changes over time. Evaluate all these factors for each product type, even each model, in your company's line. The statistics to use here are simple line

in almost all categories of biscuits. The data provided for analysis is the sales figures of Sunfeast biscuits in Kerala region as a whole, for a span of 3 years. The analysis has been done using quantitative methods and also performed hypothesis testing for a sample of data taken from the three years sales data. The population data consist of 36 sales figures taken for the years 2011-13 Below is the snapshot of the overall sales distribution (in tonnes) for Sunfeast for a span of three years:
