2-3 Journal:
Using the Journal Dataset, consider the variable DP05 (days with precipitation that is more than
05 tenths of an inch). This is the number of days in each month that had 0.5 inches or more of
precipitation. For example, a value of 3 in DP05 means that during three days of that month, it
rained or snowed (equivalent) more than half an inch.
Draw a histogram of DP05. Does DP05 have an approximately normal distribution? Does it
have an obvious skew (left or right) and any obvious outliers? If an analysis requires that DP05
have a normal distribution, do you think that your results will be valid?
Now consider the variable EMXP (extreme maximum precipitation). That is the extreme
precipitation in each month, in tenths of a millimeter. For example, a value of 300 in EMXP
means that it rained 30 millimeters on the rainiest day of that month.
Draw a histogram of EMXP. Does EMXP have an approximately normal distribution? Does it
have an obvious skew (left or right) and any obvious outliers? If an analysis requires that EMXP
have a normal distribution, do you think that your results will be valid?

(Round to four decimal places as needed.) 4-3 Journal: It is recommended that you begin the Module Four Discussion and Module Four Problem Set before posting your journal entry. For your fourth journal entry, consider again the variable DP05. Last week you constructed a 95% confidence interval for the number of months that had no days with 0.5 inches or more of precipitation. A resident thinks that 15% of the months have no days with 0.5 inches or more of precipitation. Test this claim at a 0.05 significance level. How do your results compare to your 95% confidence interval from the Module Three journal? Now consider the variable EMNT. This is the extreme low temperature (extreme minimum temperature) for the month, also reported in tenths of a degree Celsius. For example, a value of – 50 in EMNT means that the extreme low for the month was –5 degrees Celsius, or 23 degrees Fahrenheit. A resident thinks that the extreme low temperature during a randomly chosen month is about –5 degrees Celsius. Test this claim at a 0.01 significance level. Use both the classical method and the p-value method. Does this analysis make sense? ... Purchase answer to see full attachment
