7 Introduction
Overview
You will explore methods for evaluating the difference between variables. Comparing two groups of data using a range of t-tests will also be explored. Integration of Faith and Learning will be presented in a way that examines quantitative analysis in light of God’s plan for how you should handle challenging work.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this module, you will be able to:
Analyze the appropriate inferential statistic to compare groups.
Evaluate and interpret a one-sample t-test to compare one group or sample to a hypothesized population mean.
Understand the assumptions and conditions for use of the independent samples t test.
Analyze and interpret a paired samples t test to check the reliability of a repeated measure.
Understand your view of God’s perspective on the work involved in conducting meaningful and accurate quantitative analysis.

Discussion Thread: Business Integrity, God’s Perspective, and Decision Models
 
Demonstrating integrity is just as important for a business as it is for an individual. Those responsible for developing and executing strategy must have a solid understanding what it is and why it is important to business success. God has provided countless examples of integrity in His word and knowing how to apply those to business will help develop business integrity. Over the past several weeks you have been evaluating and trying several decision models, have you settled on one or a group of them?
For your main thread, perform the following:
Discuss the power of business integrity.
Discuss God’s perspective on business integrity.  
Discuss your current decision model(s) and how they have changed through the course.
Develop an Annotated Bibliography for the additional references used in your discussion.

Using the CollegeStudentData.sav file, do the following problems. Print your outputs after
typing your interpretations on them. Please circle the key parts of the output that you use for
your interpretation.
9.1 Is there a significant difference between the academic tracks on average student height?
Explain. Provide a full interpretation of the results.
9.2 Is there a difference between the number of hours students study and the hours they work?
Also, is there an association between the two?
9.3 Write another question that can be answered from the data using a paired sample t test. Run
the t test and provide a full interpretation.
9.4 Are there differences between fast track and regular track students in regard to the average
number of hours they (a) study, (b) work, and (c) watch TV? Hours of study is quite skewed so
compute an appropriate nonparametric statistic.
