BASIC BUSINESS STATISTICS
- What is an experiment?arrow_forwardWhat is meant by the sample space of an experiment?arrow_forwardA Hypothesis Testing question: To determine if there is a difference in blood uric acid (BUA) levels by gender, Samson et. al. screened 465 males and 656 females and classified them as to whether they had normal or elevated BUA levels. The study disclosed that 143 of the males and 133 of the females had elevated BUA. Do these findings suggest that there is a higher proportion of males with hyperuricemia? Use a 0.01 level of significance.arrow_forward
- Ride services are on the rise, such as Uber and Lyft. You wondered if the recent news reports of crime occurring with these ride services impacted the usage of them, especially with women. You decide to conduct a survey about ride service usage among male and female college students. The results showed that 19 males use ride services and 11 do not. While 12 females use ride services and 18 do not. Identify an appropriate null hypothesis:arrow_forwardComputer-mediated communication (CMC) is a form of interaction that heavily involves technology (e.g., instant messaging, email). A study was conducted to compare relational intimacy in people interacting via CMC to people meeting face-to-face (FTF).Participants were 48 undergraduate students, of which half were randomly assigned to the CMC group and half assigned to the FTF group. The variable of interest, relational intimacy score, was measured (on a 7-point scale) for each participant after each of three different meeting sessions. Summary statistics for the first meeting session are given here. The researchers hypothesized that, after the first meeting, the mean relational intimacy score for participants in the CMC group would be lower than the mean relational intimacy score for participants in the FTF group. Test the researchers’ hypothesis using α = .10. CMC FTF…arrow_forwardComputer-mediated communication (CMC) is a form of interaction that heavily involves technology (e.g., instant messaging, email).

The PTSD impact instrument was used and scores were recorded upon discharge. State the null and alternative hypotheses. Include both interaction and main effect hypotheses (should be 3 null and 3 alternate hypotheses).arrow_forwardA poll was conducted to investigate opinions about global warming. The respondents who answered yes when asked if there is solid evidence that the earth is getting warmer were then asked to select a cause of global warming. The results are given in the accompanying data table. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the sex of the respondent is independent of the choice for the cause of global warming. Do men and women appear to agree, or is there a substantial difference?
