The Study of Instructional Improvement (SII; Hill, Rowan, and Ball, 2004) was carried out by researchers at the University of Michigan to study the math achievement scores of first- and third-grade students in randomly selected classrooms from a national U.S. sample of elementary schools.

Using the information above answer the following question using excel and show work.

1.

Analyze Classroom data
- Describe the relationship between the dependent variable and independent variable
- Run the appropriate test and you’re your conclusion
- Give a report resuming your findings

Format:

A data frame with 1190 observations on the following 12 variables.

a. sex

: Indicator variable (0 = boys, 1 = girls)

b. minority

: Indicator variable (0 = non-minority students, 1 = minority students)

c. mathkind

: Student math score in the spring of their kindergarten year

d. mathgain

: Student gain in math achievement score from the spring of kindergarten to the spring of first grade (the dependent variable)

e. ses

: Student socioeconomic status

f. yearsteach

: First grade teacher years of teaching experience

Researchers Hill and Barton used data from the 2004 Olympics to test whether one uniform color (red or blue) gave athletes a competitive advantage. In the sports of boxing tae kwon do, and wrestling, athletes are randomly assigned either a red or blue uniform. They found that out of 457 matches, the competitor in red won 248 times. Let pi be the long-term probability that an Olympic match of boxing tae kwon do, or wrestling is won by the athlete...

2. In 2004, a team of researchers published a study of contaminants in farmed salmon. Fish from many sources were analyzed for 14 organic contaminants. The study expressed concerns about the level of contaminants found. One of those was the insecticide mirex, which has been shown to be carcinogenic and is suspected to be toxic to the liver, kidneys, and endocrine system. Summaries for the mirex concentrations (in parts per million) in the farmed salmon are: n=150, X ̅=0.0913 ppm,...

In 2010, researchers recommended a new series of measures be carried out over the next decade to sustain the duck population. After the measures were implemented, the population was expected to be: ?(?) = 3? 3 + 2? 2 − 10? + 600 (0≤ ? ≤ 10) a) What type of growth is N(t)? b) Find an expression for N′(t). c) What was the rate of growth of the Duck population after one year? . d) What was the rate...

A study was carried out to determine whether the resistance of a control circuit in a machine is lower when the machine motor is running. To investigate this question, some of the control circuits were tested as follows. Their resistance was measured while the machine motor was not running and then again while the motor was running for a certain period of time. The values found are listed in ‘Dataset’, with kilo-Ohms as the unit of measurement. Answer the following...

An experiment was carried out to study the effect of the percentage of ammonium (Factor A) and the stir rate (Factor B) on the density of the powder produced. The results are in the accompanying table. Complete parts (a) through (e). At the 0.01 level of significance is there an interaction between the percentage of ammonium and the stir rate? - Stir_Rate - Percent_of_Ammonium 100 150 2% 10.83 8.49 2% 14.64 6.84 2% 18.46 9.05 2% 15.86 9.54 30% 12.29 ...

Researchers conducted a study to find out if there is a difference in the use of eReaders by different age groups. Randomly selected participants were divided into two age groups. In the 16- to 29-year-old group, 7% of the 627 surveyed use eReaders, while 11% of the 2,314 participants 30 years old and older use eReaders. Use α = 0.05. For subscripts let 1 = 16- to 29-year-old users, and 2 = 30 years old and older users. 1. State...

It is proposed that a model study be carried out on a proposal low-speed airfoil that is to fly at low altitudes at a speed of 50 m/s. If a 1:10 scale model is to be constructed, what velocity should be used in a wind tunnel? Comment as to the advisability of such a test. Would it be more advisable to perform the test in a 20?C water channel? If a water channel study were undertaken, calculate the drag ratio...

A study was carried out to determine the putting accuracy of golf players on uphill and downhill putts from five feet. In a sample of 100 uphill putts, 90 putts were successful. In a sample of 80 downhill putts, the number of successful putts was 60. Assume α=.05 Is there evidence that the proportion of uphill putts successfully made is larger than downhill putts? Suppose p1=0.95 and p2=0.7. What is the sample size required to have a power of test...

Use R studio to answer the following. A study was carried out to investigate the variation of rainbow trout weights in a certain creek. The weights (in kilograms) of 10 randomly selected fish are listed below: 0.78, 0.45, 0.35, 0.76, 0.57, 0.42, 0.33, 0.68, 0.66, 0.42 Assume that the population is approximately normally distributed. Hint: make a vector to enter the weight data into R, e.g.: > wt = c(0.78, ..., 0.42) Find the 90% confidence interval for the unknown population...

In a study on air pollution carried out by an experimental station, we obtained the following amounts of soluble benzene, suspended in organic in micrograms per m3 , in different samples of air: 2.28, 1.9, 3.32, 2.68, 2.57, 2.57, 0.928, 1.22 Assuming that the sampled population is approximately normal, construct a confidence interval at the level 90% for the corresponding real average.
