nata0808 [166]

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, if 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 it 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 is positively skewed.

The average systolic blood pressure was found to be 140 mm for people who have high responsibility jobs, specifically investment

9966 [12]

Answer:

Option B)

$H_{0}: \mu = 140\text{ mm}\\H_A: \mu < 140\text{ mm}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Hypothesis:

The doctors and u=instructor claims that practicing yoga reduces blood pressure and hence is beneficial to people.

Population mean, μ = 140 mm

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 139 mm

Sample size, n = 51

Sample standard deviation, s = 5 mm

Thus, we can design the null hypothesis and alternate hypothesis as

$H_{0}: \mu = 140\text{ mm}\\H_A: \mu < 140\text{ mm}$

The null hypothesis states that the population have a blood pressure of 140 mm. The alternate hypothesis states that yoga reduces the blood pressure and the sample has a blood pressure less than 140 mm.

Thus, the correct answer is

Option B)

$H_{0}: \mu = 140\text{ mm}\\H_A: \mu < 140\text{ mm}$
