Pedro's Research on Quantized-Self Movement for Weight LossMost people don't succeed in losing weight by dieting, and on average people don't lose any weight. Proponents of the quantized-self movement believe that by tracking eating behavior, using apps like MyFitnessPal, people will lose more weight. Pedro randomly selected 25 people from his university who were interested in dieting. He then had them use MyFitnessPal to track their eating be...

Value Chain in Detail for Home Bed Mattress IndustryOne of the most cumbersome items to buy is a bed mattress to sleep on. It is difficult to know how the product will perform before purchase and the large size makes mattresses difficult to transport. Several firms have begun to explore ways to disrupt this industry but arguably there is a long way to go before a truly viable business model will emerge. Two references are provided concerning...
Problem 1: ACT Scores and ProbabilityUESTIONS :1. The scores of your state’s high school seniors on the ACT college entrance examination in a recent year had mean μ = 22.3 and standard deviationσ = 5.2. The distribution of scores is only roughly Normal.(a) What is the approximate probability that a single student randomly chosen from all those taking the test scores 27 or higher?(b) Now consider an SRS of 16 students who took the ...
Topic Selection and ObjectivesTask: The purpose of this project is to encourage each student to apply statistical techniques to real-world phenomena. The project will entail data collection and statistical analysis using the theoretical tools developed in this course. The class project will culminate in a final report which includes an introduction to the statistical problem studied and concluding remarks and recommendations that can be made fr...
Benefits of Knowing and Using StatisticsIt is beneficial to know and use statistics. Statistics are everywhere. Think about the news stories you have heard or read today. How many of them referenced statistical results? Did you understand the meaning or context of that statistic? It is easy to accept the statistics that you hear in the news. You might become more skeptical of a statistic, however, if you need it to make a decision that impac...
Task: Be sure you've clicked on the link in the announcements and downloaded SPSS because if you have not this is not going to work. Save the data file to your desktop or documents(right click, then save). Open the document by double clicking on it or open SPSS and find the document. SPSS may take some time to fully load. While you are looking at the data take a moment and familiarize yourself with some of the basic functionality. (Thi...
Hypotheses testingA.For questions 1-7, refer to the following information: Thrombolytic drugs are substances that cause the breakdown of blood clots obstructing the flow of blood through the vessels.

Data Set DescriptionThe data set is a slightly modified version of a real-world plant data set. The data concerns the classification of plant species from different measurements taken from photographs of these plants. Each record consists ofseveral attribute columns (input), and one class column (output) corresponding to the information about the type of plant. The attributes are markers that have been determined by assessment of differ...
