As part of a long-term study of individuals 65 years of age or older, sociologists and physicians at the Wentworth Medical Center in upstate New York investigated the relationship between geographic location, gender and depression. A sample of 60 individuals, all in reasonably good health, was selected; 20 individuals were residents of Florida, 20 were residents of New York, and 20 were residents of North Carolina. Each of the individuals sampled was given a standardized test to measure depression. The data collected follow; higher test scores indicate higher levels of depression.

........

l) Is the depression in gender affect by the Geographic locations? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

m)

locations (Florida) (New York) North Carolina

Number of depressed (23for Florida ) (17for NY) (20for North C)persons

Is the distribution of the depressed peoples across locations uniform

(?FL = 33%, ?NY = 33%, ? NC= 33% )? Use a 0.05 level of significance.

Answer 1

h) Based on the given data, our objective is to compare the depression levels of people across three different geographical areas . Let denote the mean depression levels of people from - Florida, New York and North Carolina respectively.

To test: Vs Ha: Not all means are equal

The appropriate test here, would be One way ANOVA. To run the test, using excel, we must first arrange the data in the following man

ner:

Since the p-value of the test 0.008 < 0.05, we find that the test result is significant. We do not have sufficient evidence to support the null hypothesis. We may reject H0 at 5% level of significance.

We may conclude that not all three means are equal i.e, there is a significant difference of the mean of depression value due to geographic location.stimated

stimated proportion of females = No. of females in the given sample / Total no. of individuals in the given sample

= 31 / 60

=

Similarly,

Estimated proportion of males = No. of males in the given sample / Total no. of individuals in the given sample

= 29 / 60

=

stimated proportion of females = No. of females in the given sample / Total no. of individuals in the given sample

= 31 / 60

=

Similarly,

Estimated proportion of males = No. of males in the given sample / Total no. of individuals in the given sample

= 29 / 60

=

stimated proportion of females = No. of females in the given sample / Total no. of individuals in the given sample

= 31 / 60

=

Similarly,

Estimated proportion of males = No. of males in the given sample / Total no. of individuals in the given sample

= 29 / 60
