I am sooo challenged with the statistics. Can someone explain this to me? Thanks!

3.Choose a variable (such as number of daily admissions at a local theater or number of miles students have to commute daily to get to their college.) Before collecting the data, decide what a likely average might be, then complete the following:
a.Write a brief statement of purpose of the study -
b.Define the population -
c.State the hypotheses for the study
d.Select an a value
e.State how the sample was selected
f.Show the raw data
g.Compute the test statistic
h.Find the critical values(s)
i.State the decision
j.Summarize the results

all-righty... Really, if you can't do ANY of this, you need more help than can be offered here.

What is your situation? Are you with a local school? An online course? Have you a textbook? When did you last have a math class? When did you last attend school? Have you a real teacher? An academic advisor?

If we're going to be sruggling with you, we'll have to know a little about why we are doing so.
