- Absenteeism: Absenteeism can be a serious employment problem. It is estimated that absenteeism reduces potential output by more than 10%. Two economists launched a research project to learn more about the problem. They randomly selected 100 organizations to participate in a 1-year study. For each organization, they recorded the average number of days absent per employee and several variables thought to affect absenteeism. Management’s goal here is to analyze the data and determine which factors may be helpful in predicting absenteeism. Perform a two-sample t-test analysis to determine if mean absenteeism is different between organizations which have a good Union management and those that do not. I have provided the F-test for two variances below: Copy and paste the Two sample t-test output below AND provide a clear conclusion supported by key statistics in the output about how absenteeism is affected by the Union Management Relationship.

Successful hotel managers must have personality characteristics often thought of as feminine (such as "compassionate") as well as those often thought of as masculine (such as "forceful"). The Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI) is a personality test that gives separate ratings for female and male stereotypes, both on a scale of 1 to 7. A sample of 148 male general mangers of three-star and four-star hotels had mean BSRI femininity score of 5.29 with a SD of 0.78. The mean score for the general male population is μ=5.19.

- As an admissions counselor, I am interested in understanding whether or not there is a difference in stress levels not only between different majors but also between different classes (Freshman v. Seniors). I gather the following data from students from three majors (Psychology, Chemistry, and Engineering), that are in their freshmen or senior years and ask them about their stress levels (scale of 1-10, with lower numbers meaning less stress). Using the data below, test whether there are effects of class, major, or an interaction between them at an alpha of 0.05.

One sample of rats serves as a control group and receives a placebo that does not affect normal levels of serotonin. A second sample of rats, low serotonin group, receives a drug that lowers brain levels of serotonin. Then, the researcher tests the animals by recording the number of aggressive responses each of the rats display. See the data below. Is there a significant difference between the control group and the low serotonin group regarding the number of aggressive responses?

- A researcher is interested in examining whether people experience greater traumatic stress after a natural disaster (hurricane) or a man-made tragedy (terrorist attack). The researcher measured the stress of 10 people who experienced a hurricane and 10 people who experienced a terrorist attack. Stress was measured on a scale from 1-5, with higher scores indicating greater stress. Enter their data (see below) into SPSS and answer the following questions. Hurricane Terrorist Attack 3.6 3.0 2.2 3.2 3.6 4.7 2.4 4.7 2.2 4.4 1.0 4.2 1.7 2.0 2.2 3.6 2.7 4.6 1.7 4.4 Run an independent t-test ?arrow_forwardA psychological study wants to analyze the relationship between anxiety and binge drinking; a questionnaire for anxiety and questionnaire for binge drinking is administered to each subject.
