Hypothesis Testing

Using computer simulation. Based on examples from the infer package. Code for Quiz 13.

Load the R package we will use.

Replace all the instances of ???. These are answers on your moodle quiz.

Run all the individual code chunks to make sure the answers in this file correspond with your quiz answers

After you check all your code chunks run then you can knit it. It won’t knit until the ??? are replaced
