Question
Newspaper headlines at the time and traditional wisdom in the succeeding decades have held that women and children escaped a sunken ship in greater proportion than men. Here's a table with the relevant data. Do you think that survival was independent of whether the person was male or female? Defend your conclusion.
A. Is there evidence of a significant difference between the proportion of males and females who survived at the 0.005 level of significance? What are the null and alternative hypotheses to test?
B. Are the conditions for inference satisfied?
C. Calculate the test statistic
D. Determine the P-value and interpret the meaning
E. Reject or Fail to Reject and why?
Transcribed Image Text:This table presents a summary of survival data differentiated by gender. It consists of two main categories: "Alive" and "Dead," with subtotals provided for each gender as well as an overall total. Here's a detailed breakdown:
- **Alive**
- **Female:** 364
- **Male:** 277
- **Total Alive:** 641
- **Dead**
- **Female:** 132
- **Male:** 1,377
- **Total Dead:** 1,509
- **Grand Total**
- **Female Participants:** 496
- **Male Participants:** 1,654
- **Overall Total Participants:** 2,150
The table clearly indicates the gender distribution in terms of survival outcomes within the given dataset.

- A newsletter publisher believes that over 33% of their readers own a Rolls Royce. For marketing purposes, a potential advertiser wants to confirm this claim. After performing a test at the 0.10 level of significance, the advertiser failed to reject the null hypothesis. What is the conclusion regarding the publisher's claim? Answer There is sufficient evidence at the 0.10 level of significance that the percentage is over 33%. There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.10 level of significance to say that the percentage is over 33%arrow_forwardRead through this scenario and look at the data that was collected. State the null and all possible research hypotheses. Review the results below (I used SPSS) and answer the questions that follow. Scenario: A researcher wants to see if gender and / or income affects the total amount of help given to a stranger who is sitting on the side of a busy road with a sign asking for help. The independent variables are gender, income, and the interaction of gender and income. The dependent variable is total help. He wants to know if one or both factors – or the interaction of the two - affects the total amount of help offered. Because he is analyzing two independent variables (gender and income), he used a factorial ANOVA. His results show the main effect of each of the independent variables on the dependent variable (total help) and the interaction effect. The researcher is using a 95% confidence interval which means that he wants to be at least 95% sure that his independent variables…arrow_forwardA study was done using a treatment group and a placebo group.
