b) What type of chance did you find in the previous part?

Suppose we measure the temperature at a given location each day and take the mean to get the mean temperature for the year. Suppose we look at the mean annual temperature for a hundred years. If there were no global warming or cooling, what kind of a distribution would we expect? If there were significant global warming, how would the distribution differ?

a. use the technology of your choice to identify the overall shape of the distribution of the data set. b. interpret your result from part (a). c. classify the distribution as symmetric, right skewed, or left skewed. Note: Answers may vary depending on the type of graph that you obtain for the data and on the technology that you use. In an article titled “Great White, Deep Trouble” (National Geographic, Vol. 197(4), pp. 2–29), Peter Benchley-the author of JAWS-discussed various aspects of the Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias). Data on the number of pups borne in a lifetime by each of 80 Great White Shark females are given on the WeissStats CD.

You are given the following summary statistics from a sample of 50 observations:

$$\begin{array}{|l|c|} \hline \text { Mean } & 77.25 \\ \hline \text { Standard Deviation } & 11.36 \\ \hline \text { Skewness } & 1.12 \\ \hline \text { Kurtosis } & 1.63 \\ \hline \end{array}$$

At the 5% significance level, what is the conclusion? Can you conclude that the data do not follow the normal distribution? Explain.
