Statistics - Final Project

From the above output, we can see that the p-value is 0.000186, which is smaller than 0.05 (if we select a 0.05 significance level).

The F-value is high enough at the 5% level of significance to suggest a significant difference between the control and treatment groups. The p-value 0.005 < 0.05 hence this suggests a rejection of the null hypothesis, meaning that the control and treatment groups are found to be different.

The topic is: The cleanest cleaner. In this experiment, the scientists will be testing which brand of detergents cause a better cleaning effect on one stain on multiple white shirts. The independent variable in this experiment consists of the different detergents, while the dependent variable consists of the amount by which the stain faded (using the purple light scale), and or removed, others include the white t shirts, washing cycle, and drying cycle, staining agent, and cycle of drying and washing. The control variable in this experiment will be the 1 trial run with water only per experiment. The unit while measuring the amount of detergent is mL, and a scale which the is going to use to measure the amount of stain faded.

I conducted a survey, asking 20 females and 20 males their favorite food group for my AP Statistics project. I surveyed on Wednesday, September 27 and on Thursday, September 28 at Marshall High School. They chose from protein, grain, vegetables, fruit, and dairy. From the data, I found that 10 males and 2 females liked protein best, 3 males and 2 females liked grains best, 1 male and 1 female liked vegetables best, 3 males and 13 females liked fruit best, and 3 males and 2 females liked dairy best. Half of the males liked protein best, while most females liked fruits best. The least amount of both males and females liked vegetables. From this data, we can see that males like protein more than females do, and females like fruit more than males

According to the website http://womenissues.about.com/cs/abortionstats/a/aaabortionstats.htm there are approximately 126,000 abortions conducted each day throughout the world. This website includes the abortion statistics of the world and breaks the data down to the demographics of the United States. It also discusses the decisions to have an abortion and the use of contraceptives in the United States. This was an informative website and included detailed statistics conducted by the Alan Guttmacher Institute. According to the website http://www.bls.gov/cps in 2000, gon average there were roughly 135 million employed and 6 million unemployed people in the labor force in the United States.h (p. 3) The websites definition of

Note: the program we used on this worksheet said the results were not significant, but then in statistical notion it had “p < 0.05”. That is confusing because I believe it should be “p >

Assume 20% of all email is spam. A large Internet provider plans on conducting a survey of 900 emails to see what percentage are spam.

The t-test is a parametric analysis technique used to determine significant differences between the scores obtained from two groups. The t-test uses the standard deviation to estimate the standard error of the sampling distribution and examines the differences between the means of the two groups. Since the t-test is considered fairly easy to calculate, researchers often use it in determining differences between two groups. When interpreting the results of t-tests, the larger the calculated t ratio, in absolute value, the greater the difference between the two groups. The significance of a t ratio can be determined by comparison with the critical values in a

H_a: μ 50 requires that the z-test for mean be used to test the given hypothesis.

1. A researcher is interested in whether students who attend private high schools have higher average SAT Scores than students in the general population. A random sample of 90 students at a private high school is tested and and a mean SAT score of 1030 is obtained. The average score for public high school student is 1000 (σ= 200).

* The F-value suggests that there is a significant difference between the results of the control and treatment groups. The P-value of 0.005 is < the alpha of 0.05. This suggest that the groups are significantly different and the null hypothesis should be rejected.

A pharmaceutical company is testing the effectiveness of a new drug for lowering cholesterol. As part of this trial, they wish to determine whether there is a difference between the effectiveness for women and for men. Using   = .05, what is the value the test statistic?

Why does the sampling distribution of the mean follow a normal distribution for a large enough sample size, even though the population may not be normally distributed?

We can see that most of the respondent whose qualification were graduation prefer amount of money spent. The derived result reflects from organized retail the reflected Phi-value of 0.610 and p value of 0.00, so we can say there is association between the education level and amount of money spent and if we see the unorganized retail store the reflected Phi-value of 0.684 and p value of 0.00, so we can say that there is no association between the education and amount of money spent.
