In the 2004 Tour de France, Lance Armstrong made history by winning the race for an unprecedented sixth time. In 2005, he became the only 7-time winner and set a new record for the fastest average speed—41.65 kilometers per hour—that stands to this day. In 2012, he was banned for life for doping offenses, stripped of all of his titles and his records expunged. You can find data on all the Tour de France races in the data set Tour de France 2016.

A marathon is a long-distance race with an official distance of 26.2 miles (42.195 kilometers) and today there are more than 800 marathons held annually throughout the world. The Boston Marathon became the first major marathon to include a wheelchair division competition. This happened in 1975. One might wonder how male Boston Marathon winning finish times compare with the average male Boston Wheelchair Marathon winning finish time of 98.3 minutes. Let's test whether male Boston Marathon winners, on average, take longer to finish than male Boston Wheelchair Marathon winners by performing a one-sample t-test. We'll use a significance level of ? = 0.05.
In 2012, a scientist found that 30% of the adult population believe that the sun goes around Earth. A recent survey revealed that 203 of 1974 adults surveyed believe that the sun goes around Earth. Is this a significant change from 2012?

Many people credit him with being the greatest hitter of all time. Unfortunately, his career totals are somewhat less impressive than others because his career was interrupted from 1943-1945 by World War II and from 1952-1953 by the Korean War. Some assert that if he had been playing during the war years, he would have broken Hank Aaron’s home run record of 755 and runs batted in (RBI) record of 2297. Below are Williams’ statistics.
