1- RED MEAT AND CANCER
The World Health Organization determined that red meat is associated with a higher incidence of cancer.
I attached the links from the NY Times that summarizes the findings.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/28/opinion/meat-as-a-cause-of-cancer.html
What do you consider the alternative hypothesis and the null hypothesis of the researchers’ findings?
In addition, find at least one newspaper / podcast article that discusses hypothesis testing – hint – the Tuesday NY Times usually has some article related to this
I need the answer by November 4th, 2015.
2- RED MEAT AND CANCER
This opinion page was in today’s NY Times (11/1/15) that suggests the research on the link between red meat and cancer is dubious.
I posted the link:
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/01/sunday-review/so-will-processed-meat-give-you-cancer.html
What is the alternative hypothesis of this research?
What is the null hypothesis?
In addition, find at least one newspaper / podcast article that discusses hypothesis testing – hint – the Tuesday NY Times usually has some article related to this?

3- potential customers
The Normal Distribution
Suppose you were intending to sell a product or service to consumers with an average income of $50,000 in a city with 300,000 residents,. You also know that 1 standard deviation is about $2,000 from the mean.
Approximately how many potential customers (in percent and actual number) is your potential market?
I need the answer by November 4th, 2015.
4- verage Heights
The Normal Distribution
According to the website: http://fathersmanifesto.net/standarddeviationheight.htm
Mean male height: 69.3 in.
Standard deviation: 2.8
Mean female height: 64 in.
Standard deviation: 2.8
The normal distribution presupposes that we randomly select persons or objects for our study and the persons or objects selected are independent of each other
Suppose you were to undertake a study of the average height of Mercy College male students.
In general, what percent you believe will fall 1 standard deviation from the mean and what would be the heights
In general, what percent you believe will fall 2 standard deviation from the mean and what would be the heights
Suppose you were to undertake a study of the average height of Mercy College female students.
In general, what percent you believe will fall 1 standard deviation from the mean and what would be the heights
In general, what percent you believe will fall 2 standard deviation from the mean and what would be the heights
