Answer:
Explained below.
Step-by-step explanation:
A) A skewed distribution in a dataset is when the median is not equal to the mean in such a manner that the bell curve is tilted to the left or right.
B) If in a data set, there are outliers which are extremely large or extremely small in comparison to other values in that same dataset, then we can say that such a curve will be pulled towards the outlier and thus the distribution is skewed.
Also, if the curve is inclined to the left, it means there are few extreme values to the left and is is negatively skewed.
Similarly, if the curve is inclined to the right, it means there are few extreme values to the right and is positively skewed.
C) Example of a research question is;
If in a developed country where the poverty level is about 0%, if we collect the data of income of the households, we will discover majority of people with average income and very few people with extreme high levels of income. This condition means the data to is positively skewed.
Answer: Margin of error = 6.58
Confidence interval = (26.91, 40.08)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Sample size n = 8
Sample mean = 33.5 minutes
Population standard deviation = 9.5 minutes
At 95% confidence interval,
α = 0.05
t = 1.96
So, Margin of error is given by
Confidence interval would be
Lower limit:
Upper limit:
Hence, the interval would be (26.91, 40.08)
But at standard deviation 7.2 minutes, the confidence interval was (27.5, 39.5)
Confidence interval using the standard normal distribution is wider than the confidence interval using t distribution.
