- Can people tell the difference between a female nose and a male nose? This research question was examined in an article. Eight Caucasian males and eight Caucasian females posed for nose photos. The article states that none of the volunteers wore nose studs or had prominent nasal hair. Each person placed a black Lycra tube over his or her head in such a way that only the nose protruded through a hole in the material. Photos were then taken from three different angles: front view, three-quarter view, and profile. These photos were shown to a sample of undergraduate students. Each student in the sample was shown one of the nose photos and asked whether it was a photo of a male or a female. The response was then classified as either correct or incorrect. The following table was constructed using summary values reported in the article.

- # i) 2.76: Insect Weights Consider a dataset giving the adult weight of species of insects. Most species of insects weigh less than 5 grams, but there are a few species that weigh a great deal, including the largest insect known: the rare and endangered Giant Weta from New Zealand, which can weigh as much as 71 grams. Describe the shape of the distribution of weights of insects. Is it symmetric or skewed? If it is skewed, is it skewed to the left or skewed to the right? Which will be larger, the mean or the median? # ii) 2.87: (Make up your own data set. Do not give the same answer as in the book!!) # Create a Dataset Give any set of five numbers satisfying the condition that: # a) The mean of the numbers is substantially less than the median. # b) The mean of the numbers is substantially more than the median. # c) The mean and the median are equal.arrow_forwardResearchers conducted a study to learn how early childhood education relates to a child's future earning potential.

Explain why a large-sample confidence interval is inappropriate to apply in this study. Choose the correct answer below. OA. It is inappropriate because either the number of successes in the sample or the number of failures in the sample is less than 15. OB.
