Chapter 10.4, Problem 132E
Working with Large Data Sets
10.132 Gender and Direction. In the paper “The Relation of Sex and Sense of Direction to Spatial Orientation in an Unfamiliar Environment” (Journal of Environmental Psychology. Vol. 20, pp. 17-28), J. Sholl et al. published the results of examining the sense of direction of 30 male and 30 female students. After being taken to an unfamiliar wooded park, the students were given some spatial orientation tests, including pointing to south, which tested their absolute frame of reference. The students pointed by moving a pointer attached to a 360° protractor. The absolute pointing errors, in degrees, are provided on the WeissStats site.
- a. Use the Mann—Whitney test to decide whether, on average, males have a better sense of direction and, in particular, a better frame of reference than females. Perform the test with α = 0.01.
- b. Obtain boxplots and normal
probability plots for both samples. - c. In Exercise 10.46. you used the pooled t-test to conduct the hypothesis test. Based on your graphs in part (b), which test is more appropriate, the pooled t-test or the Mann-Whitney test? Explain your answer.

A researcher would like to determine the effects of School Type and SES on Math scores. Conduct the appropriate analysis to address this research question. Fully and substantively interpret the results of all relevant statistical tests conducted.
Provide an appropriate plot to represent the interaction effect and describe the pattern of results. Do the results of the statistical test of the interaction from part (a) (provided) agree with those that appear in the plot? Explain why or why not.
Can you explain more about the interactions betwee age and gender, and more about if there are any interaction or difference for neuron number with the data provided?
A sample of 10 students was asked for the distance in miles and the time in minutes required commuting to college. The data is shown:
x-Distance: 1 3 5 5 7 7 8 10 10 12
y-Time 5 10 15 20 15 25 20 25 35 35
a) Predict a test for linear correlation between the distance and commuting time to college.
b) Predict the commuting time for a student who lives 15 miles from the college.
c) Predict how far from the college does a student live if her commuting time is 28 minutes.

In a research project, 10 subjects were shown emotional video clips. They then had their brain scanned with positron emission tomography (PET) and their memory of the clips was assessed quantitatively.
