Question

Is it reasonable to claim that the average number of observed tornadoes per year is different from the average number of tornado related deaths per year?

5. What test/procedure did you perform?

a. One-sided t-test

b. Two-sided t-test

c. Regression

d. ​​Confidence interval

6. What is the P-Value/margin of error?

a. 0.007034504

b. 0.34922

c. 4.07497E-24

d. 2.03749E-24

e. ​​None of these

7. Statistical Interpretation

a. Since P-value is very small we are confident that the number of tornadoes will influence the tornadoes' deaths.

b. Since P-value is not small we cannot claim that the number of tornadoes will influence the tornadoes' deaths.

c. Since P-value is very small we are confident that the averages of these two data are different.

d. ​​None of these.

8. Conclusion

a. Yes, I am confident that the above assertion is correct.

b. No, I cannot claim that the above assertion is correct.

9. What test/procedure did you perform?

a. One-sided t-test

b. Two-sided t-test

c. Regression

d. ​​Confidence interval

10. What is the P-Value/margin of error?

a. 0.723595771

b. 1.8

c. 0.007110117

d. 0.003555059

e. ​​None of these

11. Statistical Interpretation

a. Since confidence interval of 3.68411 is below 4 we are confident that the number of tornado-related deaths is below 4.

b. Since P-value is not small we cannot claim that the number of tornado-related deaths is below 4.

c. Since confidence interval is above 4 we cannot claim that the number of tornado-related deaths is below 4.

d. ​​None of these.

12. Conclusion

a. Yes, I am confident that the above claim is reasonable.

b. No, I cannot claim that the above claim is reasonable.

Is it reasonable to claim that on average October has less tornado-related deaths than April (per year)?

5. What test/procedure did you perform?

b. Two-sided t-test

Welcome to Minitab, press Fl for help Two-Sample T-Test and Cl: Total Tornadoes, Total Deaths Two-sample T for Total Tornadoes vs Total Deaths SE N Mean StDev Mean Total Tornadoes 45 760 245 36 Total Deaths 45 91.4 96.4 14 Difference mu (Total Tornadoes) - mu (Total Deaths) Estimate for difference: 668.6 958 CI for difference: (590.7, 746.6) T-Test of difference = 0 (vs not =): T-Value = 17.05 P-Value = 0.000 Df = 88 Both use Pooled StDev = 186.0198 Boxplot of Total Tornadoes, Total Deaths

Boxplot of Total Tornadoes, Total Deaths 1400 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 Total Tornadoes Total Deaths Data * **

6. What is the P-Value/margin of error?

P-value = 0.000

e. ​​None of these

7. Statistical Interpretation

c. Since P-value is very small we are confident that the averages of these two data are different.

8. Conclusion

a. Yes, I am confident that the above assertion is correct.
