1. Consider two samples Sample A: {1, 7, 8, 10, 11, 19} and Sample B: {1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 18}.

(a) Compute the arithmatic mean, geometric mean, median, variance, standard deviation, skewness, maximum, minimum, inter-quartile range, 90 th percentile, 75 th percentile, 95% confidence interval for population mean, 90% confidence interval for population mean, and 95% confidence interval for population mean for Sample A.

(b) Compute the arithmatic mean, geometric mean, median, variance, standard deviation, skewness, maximum, minimum, inter-quartile range, 90 th percentile, 75 th percentile, 95% confidence interval for population mean, 90% confidence interval for population mean, and 95% confidence interval for population mean for Sample B.

(c) Test the hypothesis that the populations from which the two samples have been drawn have the same mean. Precisely state the hypothesis in terms of H0  and H1  and the test statistic to be used for this hypothesis test.

(d) Test the hypothesis that the populations from which the two samples have been drawn have means whose difference is no more than 3. Precisely state the hypothesis in terms of H0 and H1 and the test statistic to be used for this hypothesis test.

(e) Test the hypothesis that the populations from which the two samples have been drawn have means whose difference is no less than 4.  Precisely state the hypothesis in terms of H0 and H1 and the test statistic to be used for this hypothesis test.

2. Consider two samples Sample A: {2, 3, 1, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 17} and Sample B: {2, 2, 3, 4, 1, 5, 6, 10, 9, 11, 2, 7, 9}.

(a) Compute the arithmatic mean, geometric mean, median, variance, standard deviation, skewness, maximum, minimum, inter-quartile range, 90 th percentile, 75 th percentile, 95% confidence interval for population mean, 90% confidence interval for population mean, and 95% confidence interval for population mean for Sample A.

(b) Compute the arithmatic mean, geometric mean, median, variance, standard deviation, skewness, maximum, minimum, inter-quartile range, 90 th percentile, 75 th percentile, 95% confidence interval for population mean, 90% confidence interval for population mean, and 95% confidence interval for population mean for Sample B.

(c) Test the hypothesis that the populations from which the two samples have been drawn have the same mean. Precisely state the hypothesis in terms of H0  and H1  and the test statistic to be used for this hypothesis test.

(d) Test the hypothesis that the populations from which the two samples have been drawn have means whose difference is no more than 3. Precisely state the hypothesis in terms of H0 and H1 and the test statistic to be used for this hypothesis test.

(e) Test the hypothesis that the populations from which the two samples have been drawn have means whose difference is no less than 4.  Precisely state the hypothesis in terms of H0 and H1 and the test statistic to be used for this hypothesis test.

3. Consider two samples

Sample A: {18, 18, 30, 23, 25, 29, 17, 11, 24, 23} and Sample B: {15, 33, 27, 7, 17, 19, 23, 20, 45, 25, 35}.

Test the hypothesis that the two populations from which these two samples have been drawn have the same mean and same variance.

4. Consider two samples

Sample A: {10, 21, 30, 29, 29, 30, 27, 11, 29, 29} and Sample B: {11, 13, 14, 22, 21, 17, 24, 29, 31, 26, 11}.

Test the hypothesis that the two populations from which these two samples have been drawn have the same mean and same variance.

 

5. Consider two samples

Sample A: {71, 71, 92, 73, 85, 75, 99, 78, 85, 85} and Sample B: {88, 86, 92, 98, 76, 98, 75, 88, 92, 85, 88}.

Test the hypothesis that the two populations from which these two samples have been drawn have the same mean and same variance.

Hint: If two populations have the same mean then the differennce between their means is 0. If two populations have the same variance then the differennce between their variances is 0 too.

5. Data Analysis Questions

5.1. Prepare the Dataset in Excel Format

Visit and scroll down to find the statewise COVID-19 data for all states in the USA. Input this data in a new working dataset. This should be a Microsoft Excel dataset.

Augment the data by creating two addtional columns denoting the census (i) region & (ii) division that the states fall under. That information is avilable from  regdiv.pdf

Save this final dataset with the following name convention: firstname-lastname-ECON3050- Exam-1.xlsx. For example:  John-Doe-ECON3050-Exam-1.xlsx

Once the data analysis is done on this dataset, only the final results should be reported

in the Word file. Upload both the data file and the Word file as your submission.

5.2. Answer the Data Analysis Questions Using the Excel File

Note: Do the data analysis in the Microsoft Excel file and write your final asnwers in the Microsoft Word submission file.

1. Make a pie chart capturing the distribution of COVID-19 cases in various census regions.

2. Make a pie chart capturing the distribution of COVID-19 deaths in various census regions.

19. Test the hypothesis that the differences in the means of COVID-19 deaths per million popu- lation is same between West and Northeast Regions.

20. Test the hypothesis that the difference in the variances of COVID-19 deaths per million pop- ulation is same between Northeast and Midswest Regions.

21. Test the hypothesis that the difference in the variances of COVID-19 deaths per million pop- ulation is same between South and Midswest Regions.

22. Test the hypothesis that the difference in the variances of COVID-19 deaths per million pop- ulation is same between South and Northeast Regions.

23. Test the hypothesis that the difference in the variances of COVID-19 deaths per million pop- ulation is same between South and Midswest Regions.

24. Test the hypothesis that the difference in the variances of COVID-19 deaths per million pop- ulation is same between South and West Regions.

25. Test the hypothesis that the difference in the variances of COVID-19 deaths per million pop- ulation is same between West and Midswest Regions.

26. Test the hypothesis that the difference in the variances of COVID-19 deaths per million pop- ulation is same between West and Northeast Regions.

27. Check the hypothesis that means of COVID-19 deaths per million population is same between all regions.

28. Check the hypothesis that means of COVID-19 cases per million population is same between all regions.

29. Check the hypothesis that means of COVID-19 tests per million population is same between all regions.

30. Write a short essay (no more than 2 pages) describing the differences in COVID-19 cases, deaths, and deaths across regions. How difference are they. Is the pandemic affecting all parts of the country equally? What does the data say? How do the statistical tests help you reach the conclusion that you reached?   Make  sure  your  essay  is  easily  understandable  to an intelligent reader who may not have any training in statistics and quantitative methods. Feel free to support your arguments by summary tables, charts, graphs, etc
