(6 pts) A psychologist who needs two groups of students for a learning experiment decides to select a random sample of female college students and male college students. Before the experiment, the psychologist administers an IQ test to both groups to determine if there is a significant difference in their mean IQ scores. The population standard deviation for this IQ test is know to be for both female and male populations. If the sample mean IQ score of the female...
Is there any difference in the variability in golf scores for players on a women's professional golf tour and players on a men's professional golf tour? A sample of 20 tournament scores from events in a tour for women showed a standard deviation of 2.4687 strokes, and a sample of 30 tournament scores from events in a tour for men showed a standard deviation of 2.2121. Conduct a hypothesis test for equal population variances to determine if there is any...
In a sample of 200 male students, 130 said they exercise regularly. In a sample of 300 female students, 180 said they exercise regularly. Test the claim that male students exercise more regularly than female students, at the alpha = 0.05 significance level. Let the population of men be labeled M and the population of women be labeled W. = proportion of male that exercise = proportion of female students that exercise Hypothesis Test: : = : > Information: Test...
A group of professors investigated first-year college students' knowledge of astronomy. One concept of interest was the Big Bang theory of the creation of the universe. In a sample of 145 freshmen students, 35 believed that the Big Bang theory accurately described the creation of planetary systems. Based on this information, s it correct at he α 0.05 evel of significance to state that more than 20% of all freshmen college students believe the Big Bang theory describes the creation...
Compare the different Genders of subjects in the Psych_Data.xlsx data set to determine if there is a statistically significant difference in the mean Anxiety Scores (anx_score) between the different gender groups. Be sure to state the type of test, state the Ho and Ha, include all relevant Excel results and plots, and write final conclusions for the full results of the test in context. Be sure that your final conclusions are written in common terms for an average person to...
8. A random sample of 25 college males was obtained and each was asked to report their actual height and what they wished as their ideal height. A 95% confidence interval for μd= average difference between their ideal and actual heights was 0.8" to 2.2". Based on this interval, which one of the null hypotheses below (versus a two-sided alternative)can be rejected? A. H0: μd= 0.5 B. H0: μd= 1.0 C. H0: μd= 1.5 D. H0: μd= 2.0 9. The...
For the following experiment/question, pick the most appropriate statistical test. You have the following statistical tests as choices: some may be used more than once, others not at all. Assume homogeneity of variance (where applicable) and the validity of parametric tests (where applicable), unless something is directly stated (e.g., “the data are not at all normal”) or otherwise indicated (viz., by the inspection of the data) which would indicate a strong and obvious violation of an assumption. This means you must...
Do men score lower on average compared to women on their statistics test? test scores of nineteen randomly selected male statistics students and twenty-eight randomly selected female statistics students are shown below. Assume Equal Variances. Male: 86, 83, 74, 76, 80, 63, 94, 91, 65, 95, 57, 91, 84, 85, 79, 76, 87, 94, 64 Excel Female: 88, 99, 82, 90, 65, 99, 76, 93, 93, 69, 70, 89, 96, 83, 74, 77, 90, 91, 100, 78, 76, 100, 78, 84, 100,...
An organization monitors many aspects of elementary and secondary education nationwide. Their 1995 numbers are often used as a baseline to assess changes. In 1995 31% of students had not been absen rom school even once during the previous month. In he 1999 survey, responses om 45 and mi selected students showed that this figure had slipped to 30%. Officials would, of course, be concerned if student attendance were declining. Do these figures give evidence of a change in student...
New corporate strategies take years to develop. Two methods for facilitating the development of new strategies by execute strategy meetings are to be compared. One method is to hold a two-day retreat in a posh hotel; the other is to hold a series of informal luncheon meetings on company premises. Excel file (HW07_Q2.xls) contains the results of two independent random samples of firms following one of these two methods. The data are the number of months for each company that...
