- Scenario: Does emotional intelligence vary based on the type of preschool a child attends? A researcher collects data on 300 four-year-olds who attend different local types of preschools. The researcher was able to collect data from four different types of preschools - Montessori, Waldorf, Parent Co-ops, and religious preschools. Emotional intelligence was quantified using the self-report Bar-On EQ-I, which ranges from 0 — 110, and is considered "scale" in nature. Assume data meets all assumptions for a parametric test. Question: What is the null hypothesis for this scenario?arrow_forwardScenario: Does emotional intelligence vary based on the type of preschool a child attends?

- PLEASE DO PART D AND PART E A research team is working on a project to study the time (in seconds) for high school male runners to finish a 400-meter race. Jimmy, a junior researcher in the team, has randomly selected a sample of 25 male runners from a high school and the time (in seconds) for each of them to complete a 400-meter race was recorded. The sample mean running time was 53 seconds. It is assumed that the running time in a 400-meter race follows a normal distribution with a population standard deviation of 5.5 seconds.(a) Give a point estimate of the population mean running time for a 400-meter race.(b) Calculate the sampling error at 95% confidence level.(c) Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean running time for a 400-meter race.(d) If instead of 25, 80 male runners are selected for the study, what is the sampling error at 95% confidence level? When the 95% confidence interval is constructed based on a sample with 80 male runners, would you…arrow_forwardThe table shows the earnings (in thousands of dollars) of a random sample of 11 people with bachelor's degrees and 10 people with associate's degrees.
