A) Use theTornadoesData and your statistical expertise to answer the questions: Is it reasonable to claim that the number of tornadoes in January will affect the number of tornados 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 relevantP-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. SinceP-value is very small we are confident that the tornadoes in April will influence the tornadoes in August.
• b. SinceP-value is not small we cannot claim that the tornadoes in April will influence the tornadoes in August.
• c. SinceP-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.

B). Use theTornadoesData and your statistical expertise to answer the questions: Is it reasonable to claim that years with more observed tornadoes in January would be the years with more overall tornado deaths? 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 theP-Value/margin of error? a. 0.007034504 b. 0.406778889 c. 4.07497E-24 d. 2.03749E-24 e. None of these

7. Statistical Interpretation a. SinceP-value is very small we are confident that the number of tornadoes in January will influence the tornadoes' deaths.

b. SinceP-value is not small we cannot claim that the number of tornadoes in January will influence the tornadoes' deaths.

c) SinceP-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.

C) Use theTornadoesdata and your statistical expertise to answer the questions: Is it reasonable to claim that on average October has less tornado-related deaths than April (per year)? 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 theP-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. SinceP-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.
