Assignment: Research Paper-The Metal Content of

This document summarizes statistical analyses of metal content parameters (Ctot, Cs, Cm, Ch) from observations of NGC dwarf starburst winds. Histograms show right-skewed distributions with most values below 1000 and some outliers above. Means, standard deviations, and other statistics are provided. Regression models show strong correlations between parameters. One-way ANOVA finds no significant difference between parameter means. Pearson correlations between parameters are strong except for Cs and Ch.

 As it is clear from the graphs that most of the values lie


below 1000, and then few values are very high.

 From the graphs, this is not a normal or binomial


distribution.
 Following table gives different statistical data of four
parameters.

 One can make regression model and find R2 and R2(adj.)


of two dependent variables through minitab. Some
examples are given below e.g. Ctot vs CS, Ctot vs C
