James participated in an archery competition. He was allowed four attempts and was supposed to hit the bullseye in the center of the board. If the figure shows the positions of James' arrows, which of the following would best classify the arrangement of arrows? ● Low accuracy and high precision ● High accuracy and low precision ● High accuracy and high precision ● Low accuracy and low precision RATIONALE The arrows are close to the center so they are accurate and they are also ...

Assignment 1: The Foundation of Data-Driven Decisions Khanal 2 1. Explain the difference between descriptive and inferential statistical methods and give an example of how each could help you draw a conclusion in the real world. The key difference between descriptive and inferential statistics is the process and how the statistic for a particular group is being studied and the conclusive evidence provided through the study. An example of a real-world application would be a study that descri...

Adam tabulated the values for the average speeds on each day of his road trip as 60.5, 63.2, 54.7, 51.6, 72.3, 70.7, 67.2, and 65.4 mph. He wishes to construct a 98% confidence interval. What value of t* should Adam use to construct the confidence interval? Answer choices are rounded to the thousandths place. ● 2.517 ● 2.896 ● 2.998 ● 4.489 RATIONALE Recall that we have n = 8, so the df = n-1 = 7. So if we go to the row where df = 7 and then 0.01 for the tail probability, this...

1. Explain the difference between descriptive and inferential statistical methods and give an example of how each could help you draw a conclusion in the real world. Descriptive statistics consists of the collection, organization, summarization, and presentation of data. Statisticians practicing descriptive statistics try to describe a situation. If you are coaching or playing in a baseball league, you can find out your batting average by using descriptive statistics. This number will descr...
