A researcher is studying truancy among male and female youths. In a sample of youth, males (n1 = 67) were truant from school a mean of 2.01 days per month (s1 = .76). Females (n2 = 45) were truant a mean of 1.08 days per month (s2 = .66). Use a five-step hypothesis test and an alpha of .01 to to determine if there is a difference between means. Assume equal population variances.

Type or neatly write all five steps clearly, with steps labeled and answers circled or highlighted where needed.

In birds the male has two identical Z sex chromosomes (males are ZZ), whereas the female has one Z as well as a nearly blank chromosome, designated W (females are ZW). In parakeets two genes control feather color. The presence of the dominant Y allele at a Z-linked gene results in the production of a yellow pigment. The dominant B allele at an autosomal gene controls melanin production. When dominant alleles are present for both genes, the feathers are green....

Can people tell the difference between a female nose and a male nose? Eight Caucasian males and eight Caucasian females posed for nose photos. The article states that none of the volunteers wore nose studs or had prominent nasal hair. Each person placed a black Lycra tube over his or her head in such a way that only the nose protruded through a hole in the material. Photos were then taken from three different angles: front view, three-quarter view, and...
