B
By using the above analysis it is clear that the relationship between the two variables is
the difference between the sample means. This is particularly because of the reason that both the
variable that is reality and test result are wide (Black, 2019). Thus, because of this reason the
difference between the sample means is correct for the present study.

D
With the above output it is clear that the relation between the variables involves the
analysis of two variables that is the difference between the sample mean is being undertaken.
The reason underlying this fact is that the descriptive statistics is being calculated and in this
only the difference in sample mean can be included.
E
Out of both the version, the test which is better is the version 1 because in this case that
standard deviation and mean are less and this provides for a good and wider view to the
company.

B
With the analysis of the above the relationship is the difference between the sample mean
as the use of descriptive statistics is undertaken. In this the correlation coefficient is not included
and also not the sample proportion is not included.
C
D
In case the quantitative variable is normally distributed for both the group then in that
case the above graph states that the number of test is different in both the countries and as a
result of this number of test changes with respect to the country (Skordi and Fraser, 2019).

B
By evaluating the graph it is clear that there is a two linear relation between the variables.
The reason pertaining to the fact is that in case the number of test and the number of people
requiring the tech support is having linear relation as there is a straight line relation between the
two variables.

D
The relation between the variable is defined by the difference within the sample means
(Gupta, 2019). This is being undertaken because of the reason that in this the use of sample mean
is undertaken and this assist in finding out the deviation within the mean of both the variables.
E
Y= 1.1989 x + 1486.5
F
Y= 1.1989 x + 1486.5
Y= 1.1989 (1000) + 1486.5
Y= 1989 + 1486.5
Y= 3475.5

Further the standard error relating to this estimate is 80.06.

B
The confidence interval is being defined as the probability that whether the parameter
will fall between pair of values around the mean or not (Nielsen, 2018). In the present case of the
analysing relation between variable reality, pregnant or not pregnant and test result the
confidence interval taken is the 95%. Thus, with the above regression it is clear that there is not
any significant value being present within both the variables.
C
The p value of the present regression is 2.21 and this is far more than the standard that
0.05. Thus, it can be implied that the test result that is positive or negative does not depend on
the reality that is pregnant or not pregnant.

B
The confidence interval is the limit at which the data is being tested. In the present case
the test variable included the country and the number of test (Laugerman and Saunders, 2019). In
the present case the confidence interval that is the level at which hypothesis is tested is 95 % that
is p value must be less than 0.05.
C
But in the present case the p value is more than the standard that is 0.05. Thus, it can be
implied that there is not any significant relation being present between both the variables.

C
The standard error is less in case of output from part b.
D
In both the cases the hypothesis was to claim that whether there is relation present
between number of test and number of people needing tech support. But in the present case, the
significance value was more than the standard that is more than 0.05. Thus, in both the situation
the relation is not present. But in case of part b there can be some of the relation being found.
This is because of the reason that in this case the significance value is less as compared to the
first case (Wang and et.al., 2018). Also, the correlation between both the variables only in case
of country A is more that is 96%. This implies that there is high correlation between both the
variables and as one variable will be change the another one will also change. Also the R square
implies that it is 92 % which states that change in the independent variable will cause a 92%
change in the independent variable.
E

The confidence interval of part B is also tested at 95 % and with the help of confidence
interval it can be checked that whether there is a relation being present in the variables or not. In
the present case the significance value is more than the standard and because of this, there is not
any relation being present in the variables.
F
The p value is the case of part b is 1.87E-28 which is more than that standard that is 0.05.
Thus, this simply states that there is not any relation being present in the variables tested.
Question 9
The video selected is the “how to analyze satisfaction survey data in Excel with help of Countif”.
The question was provided to analyse the relation between the hours spent studying and caffeine
consumption among the student at their school. For the solution the use of regression line was
undertaken. For this graph was prepared keeping caffeine at X axis and time studying at Y axis
and after that the data was placed on the graph (Taylor, 2018). Further the R sq was explained
that is denotes the change within the independent variable causing the change in the dependent
variable. The S is the standard deviation which outlines the fact that how much the variable
deviates from the regression line. The coef denotes the slope of regression line and SE Coef
denotes the standard error within the regression line. In order to calculate the confidence interval
all these element are necessary and the video explained it in better and effective manner.
