Question

Use the Tornadoes Data and your statistical expertise to answer the questions: Is it reasonable to claim that the number of tornadoes in April will affect the number of tornadoes in August? 1. What test/procedure did you perform? a. One-sided t-test b. Two-sided t-test c. Regression d. ??Confidence interval 2. What is the relevant P-Value/margin of error? a. 1.7981E-05 b. 8.17505E-06 c. 4.08753E-06 d. 0.05370006 e. ??None of these 3. Statistical Interpretation a. Since P-value is very small we are confident that the tornadoes in April will influence the tornadoes in August. b. Since P-value is not small we cannot claim that the tornadoes in April will influence the tornadoes in August. c. Since P-value is very small we are confident that the average numbers of tornados are different. d. ??None of these. 4. Conclusion a. Yes, I am confident that the above assertion is reasonable. b. No, I cannot claim that the above assertion is reasonable.
