Help with statistics project | Mathematics homework help

This is an optional project worth 15 points on your Final Exam.

The Excel Bonus project is an opportunity to earn 15 points on your final exam. During the last summer session, 4 students’ grades were raised as a result of the extra 15 points. On your class average, 15 point x .21 = 3.15 points since the final exam is now worth 21% of your course grade. There are 7 parts on the bonus project and you can keep working on the project until the course ends. You can also get partial credit for the project for the completion of each of the 7 parts.

The goal for this option is to learn how to effectively use Excel to calculate all of your statistics. THERE WILL BE 7 Parts IN THIS OPTION. If you choose this option, I will email you back a message letting you know it is ok or that you need to re-do it.

Assignment 1: Let’s begin! Using the Excel attachments, open Excel. Open Part 1: BBSalary. You will see average salary, median salary and minimum salary by year from 1969 (B2) to 2002(B35)Follow the following steps:

Step 1: Select “Tools” pull-down menu
Step 2: Choose “Data Analysis”
Step 3: Choose “Descriptive Statistics” from the list of Analysis Tools
Step 4: When the Descriptive Statistics dialog box appears:
Enter B1:B35 in the “Input Range” box
Select “Grouped By Columns”
Select”Labels in First Row”
Select “Output Range”
Enter E1 in the “Output Range” box (to identify the upper left-hand corner of the section of the worksheet where the descriptive statistic will appear)
Click on “Summary Statistics”
Click “OK”
Save your results and load into the Assignment Folder

Assignment 2:
The Excel function for computing binomial probabilities is BINOMDIST. It has four arguments: x (the number of successes), n (the number of trials), p (the probability of success) and cumulative. False is used for the fourth argument if we want the cumulative probability of x successes, and True is used for the fourth argument if we want to compute the probability of x or fewer successes. On an Excel sheet let p = .5 for the probability of making a basketball shot. Assume we are make 10 attempts to make a basket. In row 1 we have Number of Trials (n) in col A and 10 in col B. In row 2 we have Probability of Success (p) in col A and 0.5 in col B. In row 4 column B, we have x. In column C we have f(x). We want to complete rows 5 to 15 with our trials

Row 5 will look like this:
Column B: 0
Column C: = BINOMDIST(B5,$B$1,$B$2, FALSE)

For the next row the only changes are:
Column B: 1
Column C: you will substitute B6 for B5)

(remember to plug in x = 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)

Part 2 of this Assignment uses the Beer File. Open the Beer File. 

Note that in column B we have the price of 69 different beers found in the market. We want to do an interval estimate of the population mean (cost of a beer) using the normal distribution. In Row 4 begin by typing the following: (Do NOT TYPR “periods”
Column G…………..Column H………………..
Sample Size………..=Count(B2:B70)……………
Mean………………=Average(B2:B70)………….
Standard Deviation….=STDEV(B2:B70)……………

Confidence Coefficient..0.95 
Alpha…………….. =1-H8
Z Value…………… =NORMSINV(1- H9/2)

Standard Error…….. =H6/SQRT(H4)
Margin of Error……. =H10*H12

Point Estimate……. =AVERAGE(B2:B70)
Lower Limit………. =H15-H13
Upper Limit………. =H15+H13
