Use the Tornadoes Data and your statistical expertise to answer the questions: Is it reasonable to claim that the average number of tornadoes in April and August are different?

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 tornadoes are different.
  • d. None of these.

4. Conclusion

  • a. Yes, I am confident that the above assertion is reasonable.
