A researcher hypothesizes that a person who drops a stack of books and uses profanity will be less likely to gain help (defined as whether or not someone helps pick up the books) than someone who does not use profanity. He flips a coin to randomly assigns participants to each condition, one group says, “Oh darn” and the other says, “Oh s..t” after dropping several books. The researcher then records whether or not a bystander helped pick up the books. The results are listed below. Assume a two-tailed test with .05 level of significance and equal distribution.
bystander helped | bystander did not help | TOTAL | ||
no profanity | actual count | 23 | 16 | 39 |
expected count | 18.5 | 20.5 | 39.0 | |
profanity | actual count | 14 | 25 | 39 |
expected count | 18.5 | 20.5 | 39.0 | |
TOTAL | actual count | 37 | 41 | 78 |
expected count | 37.0 | 41.0 | 78.0 |
a) What is the appropriate chi-square test?
b) State the null and alternative hypothesis.
c) In reading the crosstabulation chart, what is the actual amount of no profanity, bystander helped?
d) What is the expected value?
a) Chi square test of independence is appropriate
O is the observed frequency
E is the expected frequency
b) a person who drops
a stack of books and uses profanity will be equally likely to gain
help than someone who does not use profanity
a person who drops
a stack of books and uses profanity will be less likely to gain
help
c) actual amount is 23
d) Expected value is 18.5

Hi there! I need to compare two essay into 1 essay, and make it interesting and choose couple topics which im going to talk about in my essay FIRST ESSAY “Teaching New Worlds/New Words” bell hooks Like desire, language disrupts, refuses to be contained within boundaries. It speaks itself against our will, in words and thoughts that intrude, even violate the most private spaces of mind and body. It was in my first year of college that I read Adrienne...
