Week 8: Reflection Paper Overview Instructions Complete the following by writing a response to three of the four following questions. For each question, your response should be 2 or more paragraphs. Make it clear which question you are answering and use correct grammar throughout. If you answer all four questions, only the first three provided will be graded. Your responses are to be based on your own experiences and insights. Do not use materials and examples from other sources, including the Internet. Students have used examples from outside sources in the past and have failed this final assessment and in some cases, failed the course due to evidence of plagiarism. Describe how you could use hypothesis testing to help make a decision in your current job, a past job, or a life situation. Include a description of the decision, what would be the null and alternative hypotheses, and how data could ideally be collected to test the hypotheses. Describe how you could use confidence intervals to help make a decision in your current job, a past job, or life situation. Include a description of the decision, how the interval would impact the decision, and how data could ideally be collected to determine the interval. Describe how you could use regression analysis to help make a decision in your current job, a past job, or a life situation. Include a description of the decision, what would be the independent and dependent variables, and how data could ideally be collected to calculate the regression equation. Describe a data set that you have encountered or could envision that would be applicable to your current job, a past job, or a life situation. Identify two (2) options for graphically representing those data to present to decision-makers, such a pie charts, time series, Pareto charts, histograms, etc. Assess the pros and cons of each graphical option.

Describe how you could use hypothesis testing to help make a decision in your current job,
a past job, or a life situation. Include a description of the decision, what would be the null
and alternative hypotheses, and how data could ideally be collected to test the hypotheses.
I have encountered cases where I do hypothesis testing. Maintaining my Body Mass
Index (BMI) balance has been vital in my efforts to avoiding obesity. I always try to understand
if there is any relationship between the type of foods I take and my weight-to-height ratio, which
describes the Body mass index (BMI). In one instance, I hypothesized that eating more junk
foods increases my weight to height ratio, increasing my chances of being obese. In this case, my
null hypothesis can be; “taking junk ...
