1. The document describes an experiment involving rolling two dice 36 times and recording the total value shown. Data was collected from random.org and calculator.net and compared to expected theoretical values.
2. Chi-square tests were used to analyze if the observed and expected results differed significantly. No significant difference was found for either data set.
3. Based on the statistical analysis, the conclusions were that the observed results from both random.org and calculator.net matched the expected theoretical values.

For each of the following experimental designs, indicate which statistical test (t test, linear regression or 𝛘2) is the best option and justify your choice. (/16)
1. You are measuring the breathing rates in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients that have received a drug to stimulate pancreatic function.
Test Justification
T test Two groups with one variable
2. You are documenting the heights and ages of elementary school students.
Test Justification
Linear regression There is two variables the x would be the age and y the height.
3. You are comparing the current enrolment numbers of high school students in each of the grades 7-11 to the average enrolment for each grade from the 10 previous years.
Test Justification
Chi test There’s subdivision depending on which grade the student is and from which year
4. You have counted the number of mosquitoes found at each of the following stages in: egg, larval, pupa, adult. You have data from previous years. You have hypothesized that the amount rain this year has affected the number of mosquito larvae.
Test Justification
Chi test Many stages of mosquitos and two different condition (one with rain the other without) 5. You are measuring the heights of students who’ve been enrolled in a school breakfast program for the past two years. You want to compare these heights to data of students from the same school in years previous to the breakfast program.
Test Justification
t-test Same school students with relatively same conditions the only variable is the breakfast program. Two groups one variable
6. You hypothesize that there’s a relationship between a person’s original birth weight and their final adult height. You decide to collect this data from your friends and colleagues.
Test Justification
Linear Trying to find the relation between birth weight and the adult height regression X=birth weight y=adult height
7. You are studying whale migration. You believe that larger whale species travel larger distances.
Test Justification
Chi test And the whales are subdivided by species
8. You are comparing this year’s data on wolf population numbers in each of the Canadian National Parks to data from 50 years ago (before wolf conservation programs began).
Test Justification PART B
Define the following, and state whether they are part of descriptive statistics or inferential statistics. (/8)
Term Type Definition
Variance descriptive It shows the degree of spread
Standard descriptive How far each result is from the mean (in average) Deviation
95% Confidence inferential 19 subjects on 20 (95%) are within the mean range Interval calculated. It is the generalization of the conclusion got during a study within a smaller group. Ex: the mean heigh is 1,65 m and 95% of the people are (1,57m - 1,73 m)
p value inferential It is the probability of getting of getting particular set of
observation if the null hypothesis ( H0 ) were true
PART C
Using this website as a dice rolling simulator, fill out the first column by indicating the number of times you get the indicated values (2 to 12) when you add your 2 dice values. Do the same with the dice roller in this website. (2 dice, each teammate rolls them 36 times, and then you pool all your data in this table). (/14)
