STAT 110: Introduction to Statistical Reasoning

Explore the mathematical intricacies behind calculating the waiting time for a motorist at traffic lights. Learn about normal random variables, conditional probabilities, and the challenges in determining specific waiting durations.

Analyze the relationships between different political affiliations and age groups. Determine whether certain events are independent, mutually exclusive, or neither, based on the provided probabilities. The findings offer a nuanced understanding of voter demographics and their interdependencies.

Discover how to construct a confidence interval for understanding U.S. adult satisfaction. Using a sample from a 2010 Gallup Poll, we unveil the proportion of adults pleased with the state of affairs, backed by statistical calculations.

Explore the intricacies of calculating probabilities using set theory concepts such as union and intersection. With step-by-step computations, understand how to find the likelihood of events A and B occurring or not occurring together. Witness the application of classic probabilistic formulas.

Explore the impact of heat treatment duration on thread breaking strength. Using statistical analysis, we assess the difference in mean strengths between batches. Confidence intervals help quantify this difference with 99% certainty.

Discover the process of using a one-sample t-test to validate a claim about average soft drink consumption. By calculating the test statistic and analyzing the corresponding P-value, we determine the validity of the researcher's assertion.
