  • Analysis of Independent Samples t-Test Scenarios “Lab Analysis #1: Investigating the Relationship between Social Class and Leisure Hours”

    About: In this assignment, you will examine various scenarios involving a hypothesis test we have been working with called the independent samples t-test. The objective is to understand the statistical process of testing hypotheses and interpreting results. You will analyze provided data and write a report explaining the populations, variables, which one is the independent and dependent variable, and the results of the hypothesis test.
    Directions: Select ONE scenarios and complete the following report for each scenario.
    IntroductionReview the provided data describe the goal of the research including what the independent and dependent variable is. Provide the Null and Research hypothesis based on the data provided.
    Methods
    Describe the data including sample sizes for each group, mean hours for each group, variance, and observable differences
    State that the independent samples t-test was conducted and provide all the important results (t-statistic, p-value, degrees of freedom)
    3. Results
    Interpret the results, is there a statistically significant relationship?
    Do we accept or reject the null hypothesis?
    Are the two variables related to one another?
    4. Discussion
    Discuss any potential limitations of the test and results
    Provide some thoughts on why we obtained the results we obtained, consider various logical explanations
    Word Count: Each report should be about 300 words or more, giving about 75 to 100 words per section in the directions provided.

  • Methodology for Gathering Information on the Opioid Crisis in Chicago Methodology for Gathering Information on the Opioid Crisis in Chicago For my final project, I have chosen to focus on the opioid crisis in Chicago. In order to gather information

    Traditionally, the methodology section of a research paper demonstrates how the research study was carried out and why. In the paper for the final project, however, you will be discussing how you gathered data and information on the area or community you are focusing on for your final project and the problem area or need you identified. This discussion area allows you to construct your methodology section of the capstone project while receiving feedback from your peers and instructor.
    For your initial post (1), you must:
    Review the Gathering Community Information (Methodology) section in the Final Project Document. Consider what kinds of data are more appropriate for diverse populations. Then, review the optional resources in Module Two on choosing methodologies. In your initial post, discuss which methodology you plan to use for gathering information on the community you select and provide a rationale for your selection.

    Introduction
    Exploring the associations between some variables in the courseroom using correlations might provide some important information about learner success. You’ll need to pay attention to both magnitude, which is the strength of the association, and directionality, which is the direction (positive or negative) of the association. During this assessment, you’ll start learning about how to best approach correlational analyses like these and start getting some answers. You’ll explore the relationships that may or may not exist in your courseroom data.
    In this assessment, you’ll get a chance to run and interpret your first inferential statistics analysis: correlations. Your readings and the Course Study Guide will help you in your efforts.

  • Title: “Analyzing Vehicle Prices: Impact of Outliers on Summary Statistics”

    Using the data set that you identified in week 1, use Excel to find the following descriptive statistics for the price data.
    Descriptive statistics:
    Mean
    Median
    Standard Deviation
    Use these summary statistics to make two conclusions or observations about the typical vehicle in the sample. One conclusion must relate to the measure of center (mean/median) and one to the variability (standard deviation) of the vehicles.
    Next, add an 11th vehicle to the data set. Choose a “supercar” that costs at least $1 million. Recalculate the summary statistics to include this vehicle.
    Descriptive statistics:
    Mean
    Median
    Standard Deviation
    Which summary statistics were affected the most by the addition of this outlier? How were they changed, and were you surprised by the results?  I encourage you to review the Week 2 descriptive statistics PDF at the bottom of the discussions.  This will give you a step by step example on how to calculate these values using Excel. I DO NOT recommend doing this by hand.  Let Excel do the heavy lifting for you.
    Once you have posted your initial discussion, you must reply to at least two other learner’s post. Each post must be a different topic. So, you will have your initial post from one topic, your first follow-up post from a different topic, and your second follow-up post from one of the other topics. Of course, you are more than welcome to respond to more than two learners.”
    After the supercar was added to the data set, which summary statistic do you think more accurately reflects the typical vehicle price – the mean or median? Compare the standard deviation before the supercar was added and after it was added. Does this indicate greater variability in the original or modified data set? Based on this information, do you feel the standard deviation can help you identify the presence of an outlier? Why or why not?

    Suppose that you have two sets of data to work with. The first set is a list of all the injuries that were seen in a clinic in a month’s time. The second set contains data on the number of minutes that each patient spent in the waiting room of a doctor’s office. You can make assumptions about other information or variables that are included in each data set.
    For each data set, propose your idea of how best to represent the key information. To organize your data would you choose to use a frequency table, a cumulative frequency table, or a relative frequency table? Why?
    What type of graph would you use to display the organized data from each frequency distribution? What would be shown on each of the axes for each graph?
