A company applies an aptitude test to all those who apply for jobs as programmers. The results of these tests are analyzed according to their precedence (general advertising, ads in specialized magazines, employment agencies, personal recommendations or people who come spontaneously). With a significance level of 0.025, determine if there is a difference between the results of these tests according to their precedence. Your work should have detailed procedure, in this exercise you can use the tool offered by Excel for the required test, but you have to have the appropriate analysis.

Expert Solution

The hypotheses will be

H₀: all the precedence is equal .i.e. there is no significant difference between the precedence

H₁: At least two of the precedence is not equal i.e. there is a significant difference between the precedence

The appropriate analysis that can be used is ANOVA for a single factor. We can conduct this test using MS Excel.

Enter data → Data → Data Analysis → Anova: Single Factor

Provide the necessary details and make α=0.025 them the following appears.

Anova: Single Factor
SUMMARY
Groups	Count	Sum	Average	Variance
General Pub.	15	728	48.53333	169.6952

Within Groups	7879.848	44	179.0874
Total	11128.41	48

The critical value of F for (4, 44) d.f and α=0.025 level of significance is 3.093288.

Since the calculated value is greater than critical value and the p-value is less than 0.025, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that with 97.5% confidence that the precedence differ significantly. So thers is a difference between the results of these tests according to their precedence.

Research shows that after-school jobs are highly correlated with decreases in grade point averages. Those who work 1 to 10 hours get a 3.0 GPA and those who work 21 hours have a 2.7 GPA. Higher GPAs are, however, highly-correlated with higher lifetime earnings. Assume that a person earns $8,000 per year for working part-time in college and that the return to a 0.1 increase in GPA gives a 10 percent increase in one's lifetime earnings with a present value...
