A social psychologist wanted to determine whether attitudes of men toward abortion were different in rural and urban areas. He prepared a questionnaire and administered it to a group of city dwellers and a group of country dwellers. Each city man was matched with a country man on age, income, and education. High scores indicate positive attitudes toward abortion. Here are the questionnaire scores. Rural Men Urban Men 22 25 19 23 18 20 17 18 15 12 10 9 6 4 4 3 a. What statistical method should be used and why? b. Calculate a 95% confidence interval about the difference in the two populations. c. Use the CI to test the null hypothesis that rural and urban men have identical attitudes toward abortion.
a) TV stations use ratings to decide which shows to keep or cancel. Therefore, the A. C. Nielsen Company collects data on the TV viewing habits of Americans and publishes the information in Nielsen Report on Television. Suppose that you want to use a paired sample to decide whether the mean viewing times of married men and married women differ; Identify the variable. Identify the two populations. Identify the pairs. Identify the paired-difference variable. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Classify the hypothesis test as two tailed, left tailed, or right tailed. (b) State one possible advantage of using paired samples instead of independent samples

A power analysis is a calculation used to estimate the smallest sample size needed for an experiment, given a required significance level, statistical power, and effect size. It helps to determine if a result from an experiment or survey is due to chance, or if it is genuine and significant. Think of an experiment or a survey that you have conducted or will conduct in your field of interest and use it to discuss the following questions: 1. Describe the importance of power analysis in an experiment. 2. How will you determine the appropriate significance level for a power analysis? 3. Explain, in your own words, how you will conduct a power analysis in your experiment or survey.
