Question
Transcribed Image Text:A data collection method is described to investigate a difference in means. Determine which data analysis method is more appropriate:
paired data difference in means or difference in means with two separate groups.
In a study to determine whether the color red increases how attractive men find women, one group of men rate the attractiveness of a
woman after seeing her picture on a red background and another group of men rate the same woman after seeing her picture on a
white background.

The researcher collected data for the following two variables – miles from campus and part of community (rating from 1-10 of how much they felt part of the university community). Proposed analysis (the kind of test) and why you chose the analysis: Scales of measurement (i.e., nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio) for variable(s) that will be used in the analysis: Null and alternative hypotheses (based on context of study) in symbols: Test assumptions and make a decision Inferential statistic(s) and p-value(s): Decision: conclusion Based on your decision, identify and explain the type of error you could be making with respect to the conclusions of the studyarrow_forward
- Create a Study For this discussion, you will come up with an example of a situation in which two means would need to be compared, and describe which test would be the most appropriate. Develop a main response in which you address the following: Describe a possible study that could be conducted to compare two groups means. What would the main topic be? What groups would be compared? What data would be collected? Identify the test that would be the best choice to compare the group means. Explain why this test is the most appropriate for your example.arrow_forwarda) TV stations use ratings to decide which shows to keep or cancel. Therefore, the A. C. Nielsen Company collects data on the TV viewing habits of Americans and publishes the information in Nielsen Report on Television. Suppose that you want to use a paired sample to decide whether the mean viewing times of married men and married women differ; Identify the variable. Identify the two populations. Identify the pairs. Identify the paired-difference variable. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Classify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed, or right tailed.

- The Student Union President conducted a survey to estimate the proportion of first year students who participated in the social activities organized by the Student Union. Which of the following surveying options does NOT affect the presidents ability to generalize the survey to all first year students. The president put the survey on the Student Union webpage a Monday and collected the responses at the end of the week. All of the other options present a problem for generalizing the results. The president polled all students coming out of the Student Union on a given Monday. The freshmen class consists of 3000 students. A random sample of only 300 were sent a survey. Only 150 responded. The survey was sent only to first year students enrolled in statistics courses because all students need to satisfy a statistics general education requirement.arrow_forwardSuppose the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) wants to examine the safety of compact cars, midsize cars, and full-size cars.

- You need to use Stata to look up the dataset and its variables. Use Stata Companion Textbook. (Dataset: NES. Variables: spend8, [pw=nesw].) The NES dataset contains spend8, which records the number of government policy areas where respondents think spending should be increased. Scores range from 0 (the respondent does not want to increase spending on any of the policies) to 8 (the respondent wants to increase spending on all eight policies). The NES, of course, polls a random sample of U.S. adults. In this exercise you will analyze spend8 using the mean and lincom commands. You then will draw inferences about the population mean. (Remember to specify nesw as the probability weight.) The spend8 variable has a sample mean of ______. Make sure you use [pw=nesw] so your results are nationally representative. There is a probability of .95 that spend8’s true population mean falls between a score of ______ at the low end and a score of ______ at the high end.

The sample data below show the number of companies providing health insurance for small, medium, and large companies. For the purpose of this study, small companies are companies that have fewer than 100 employees. Medium-sized companies have 100 to 999 employees, and largevcompanies have 1000 or more employees. The questionnaire sent to 225 employees asked whether or not the employee had health insurance and then asked the employee to indicate the size of the company. Health Insurance Size of company Yes No Total Small. 35 15 50 Medium 67 8 75 Large 87 13 100 A. Conduct a test of independence to determine whether health insurance coverage is independent of the size of the company. What is the p-value? Compute the value of the x2 test statistic (to 2 decimal)arrow_forwardTy In the t eth century, it was a common practice in Southern California for houses to be built with pools in the backyard. For new homes, however, that practice be changing, possibly as a measure to help reduce climate change. A recent study examined a random sample of 164 houses built in Southern California in the twentieth century and an independent, random sample of 83 new houses built in Southern California. The sample of twentieth century houses contained 56 houses with pools, and the sample of new houses contained 26 houses with pools. Based on this survey, can we conclude, at the 0.10 level of significance, that the proportion p1 of all Southern California twentieth century houses that were built with pools is greater than the proportion p, of all new Southern California houses that were built with pools? Perform a one-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places and round your answers as specified in the parts...arrow_forward
