You will use Excel to simulate rolling five 6-sided dice and calculating the average and standard deviation of the five numbers. You will also calculate the mean and standard deviation when rolling one dice. You will demonstrate the effect of the sample size on the shape, mean, and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the mean. Finally, you will verify Central Limit Theorem.

Sample Size n=2 n= 5 n= 10 Observed Values Mean Standard deviation Theoretical Values Mx Ox Part B: Loading Aircraft Question 2 Before every flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft can carry 37 passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6200 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are Adults. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 6200 lb > 37 = 167.6 lb.

Part C: Math 1P98 Survey Data Your classmates were invited to complete a MATH 1P98 student survey. In this last part of the assignment, you will work with the results from that survey. Students were asked, "How many days in a typical week do you exercise for more than 20 minutes?.

You will use the Brock Excel calculator "Hypothesis Test and Confidence Interval Template" found in the same folder. - Question 3 3. (Submit a screenshot of your written or typed answer.) Let p represent the proportion of all MATH 1P98 students who exercise more than 20 minutes at least 5 days a week. Here, "at least 5 days" refers to 5 days, 6 days, or 7 days. a) Before you complete any inferences on the sample data, you should first summarize the survey results in a frequency distribution table. Use Excel to sort or filter the data so that you can get a count for each category. For this question, submit the completed frequency distribution table.
