A study of undergraduate computer science students examined changes in major after the first year. The study examined the fates of 256 students who enrolled as first-year students in the same fall semester. The students were classified according to gender and their declared major at the beginning of the second year. For convenience we use the labels CS for computer science majors, EO for engineering and other science majors, and O for other majors. The explanatory variables included several high school grade summaries coded as 10 = A, 9 = A-, etc. Here are the mean high school mathematics grades for these students.
Major | |||
---|---|---|---|
Gender | CS | EO | O |
Males | 8.68 | 8.35 | 7.65 |
Females | 9.11 | 9.36 | 8.04 |
Calculate the marginal mean for each major and each gender.
Round your answer to 3 decimal places.
CS Marginal Mean 1
EO Marginal Mean 2
0 Marginal Mean 3
Male Marginal Mean 4
Female Marginal Mean 5
Compute the female - male difference for each major. Are
they similar? Do any of these differences indicate an
interaction?
The difference is similar for CS and EO but more than twice as
big for O, indicating an interaction. The difference is similar for
EO and O but more than twice as big for CS, indicating an
interaction.
The difference is similar for CS and O but more than twice as big
for EO, indicating an interaction. The difference is similar for
all three indicating no interactions.

Students who major in computer science are paid a lot more when they graduate than those who major in philosophy because: The search for the meaning of life is a growth industry. The derived demand for engineering science majors is less than the derived demand for philosophy majors. Computer science is a growth industry. The marginal revenue product for computer science majors is more than the marginal revenue product for philosophy majors.
A survey of undergraduate students in the School of Business at Northern University revealed the following regarding the gender and majors of the students:MajorGender Accounting Management Finance Total Male 100 150 50 300 Female 100 50 50 200 Total 200 200 100 500 a. What is the probability of selecting a female student?b. What is the probability of selecting a finance or accounting major?e. What is the probability of selecting an accounting major, given that the person selectedis a male?
A 2010 study examined students' perceptions about the use of video games in the classroom. 200 students were surveyed (103 females, 97 males) from flemish secondary schools. (c) The students were also asked about how frequently they played video games. 21.4% of female students and 11.3% of male students replied that they did not play video games. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of male and female students that do not play video games. [1]...
Do left-handed people live shorter lives than right-handed people? A study of this question examined a sample of 949 death records and contacted next of kin to determine handedness. Note that there are many possible definitions of "left-handed." The researchers examined the effects of different definitions on the results of their analysis and found that their conclusions were not sensitive to the exact definition used. For the results presented here, people were defined to be right-handed if they wrote, drew,...
looking for an explanation 15) As part of a study at a large university, data were collected on 224 freshmen computer science 1 (CS) majors in a particular year. The researchers were interested in modeling y, a student's grade point average (GPA) after three semesters, as a function of the following independent variables (recorded at the time the students enrolled in the university): xi-average high school grade in mathematics (HSM) x2 = average high school grade in science (HSS) x3-...
II Suppose for our purposes that I wanted information about all students currently taking statistics at GPC. To do this grouped the students by the section they were in then I randomly chose two of the sections. Using this scenario, please answer each of the following: 1. Complete the following chart using the data set provided: Frequency Major Accounting Biology Business Administration Education Nursing Health Science Social Work/Sociology Other Using the chart above, answer the following: a. What is the...
Question 3 Experience has shown that Male applicants to Virginia Tech score on average 3.5 points better on the science placement than Female applicants. Following a random sample of these years freshman applications for admission resulted in the data below: Gender Males Females Sample Size 25 35 Mean Score 71.5 71.2 Standard deviation 10.3 11.2 A) Is there sufficient evidence that males score significantly better at the alpha-0.05 level. (10 points) For the next four questions state which inference procedure...
