pre work to prepare for the assignment :Locate the data that you gathered for the Week 1 Discussion. ( I added the information of week 1 under this)Price for one pack of Marlboro Light in Los Angeles, California7-Eleven$10.20Chevron Gas station$9.70 76 Gas station$9.55 Ralph’s$9.40 Mobil Gas station$9.38Arco Gas station$9.37 Vons$9.80 Shell Gas station$10.19 Sinclair Gas station$10.40 Union Oil Gas station$9.39 · Average cost of one pack of Marlboro Light is: $10.2 + $9.70 + $9.55 + $9.40 + $9.38 + $9.37 + $9.80 + $10.19 + $10.40 + $9.39 = $97.38/10 = $9.738· Average cost per year for a one pack per day: 365 days * 9.738 = $ 3554.7Calculate the sample standard deviation from your cigarette price data in Week 1. Use that (and your sample average and sample size) to calculate the following (assuming a normal distribution):Within what range would you find 90% of cigarette prices in your area?What are the chances that someone in your area would pay 4 dollars or less per pack?What are the chances that someone in your area would pay 10 dollars or less per pack?This is the actual assignmentPost a 150- to 225-word (2- to 3-paragraph) explanation of how probability distributions affect management decisions. In your explanation, address the following: (Provide your results of the following:Your calculations for your standard deviationThe range within which 90% of the prices of cigarettes in your area fallsThe chances of anyone paying less than 4 dollars for a pack of cigarettes The chances of anyone paying more than 10 dollars for a pack of cigarettesDescribe what implications this concept has for management decision making.Explain how you might use information like this in your current work.To support your response, be sure to reference at least one properly cited scholarly source. (Please reference from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY2zWGBXBhU- add it as a paraphrase in the text- just let me know where you are putting it.- please begin with- according to math meeting (2013), then paraphrase)

Discussion prompt 1 Now, it’s time to complete an important part of your project - decide which descriptive statistics to use to describe how your participants answered each question on your survey. For this discussion, provide the following: What are your research questions? (Main hypotheses and goal of your study)Describe your dependent variable. What type of measures: Categorical or Continuous, what type of descriptive analysis?Describe your main independent variable as well as other variables (such as demographics): What type of measures: Categorical or Continuous, what type of descriptive analysis?How the questions are worded and answered for each chosen independent variable and dependent variable? The related research question is: how stress can have an effect on ones mental and physical well being. Discussion Prompt #2 Find a peer-reviewed journal article that interests you and includes the results of one of the statistical tests that we covered this week (one-sample test of proportions, independent samples t-test, or paired samples t-test). For this discussion, provide the following: A link to the website that contains the articleWhat are the research questions? (Main hypotheses and goal of your study)List and specify dependent and independent variables cited in the articleThe specific statistical test that was used for hypothesis testingThe findings, including relevant numbers that help people understand the magnitude of the findings (e.g., two proportions, the mean score for each group, the mean score at each time point)Your thoughts about the implications of the findings (what does it all mean?)
