1. When do we use a z test? Give an original example that is relevant to criminology or criminal justice.

2. Calculate the z score using the following data that reflect the number of support meetings attended weekly by current and historic mental health court participants. Show your work (three points).

Data: Sample size is 50, sample mean is 12, sample standard deviation is 1.9

Population size is 295, population mean is 10, population standard deviation is 2

3. Is the z score you found for Question 2 significant at the .05 level? Why or why not (three points)?

4. Write your findings for Question 2 in standard reporting style

Expert Solution

Solution:-

2)

State the hypotheses. The first step is to state the null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis.

Null hypothesis: u = 10
Alternative hypothesis: u 10

Note that these hypotheses constitute a two-tailed test. The null hypothesis will be rejected if the sample mean is too big or if it is too small.

Formulate an analysis plan. For this analysis, the significance level is 0.05. The test method is a one-sample z-test.

Analyze sample data. Using sample data, we compute the standard error (SE), and z statistic test statistic (z).

SE = s / sqrt(n)

S.E = 0.2687

z = (x - u) / SE

z = 7.44

where s is the standard deviation of the sample, x is the sample mean, u is the hypothesized population mean, and n is the sample size.

Since we have a two-tailed test, the P-value is the probability that the z statistic less than -7.44 or greater than 7.44.

Thus, the P-value = less than 0.0001.

Interpret results. Since the P-value (almost 0) is less than the significance level (0.05), we have to reject the null hypothesis.

3) The z score you found for Question 2 is significant at the .05 level, becuase it is lies in rejection region.

z_critical = + 1.96

Rejection region is - 1.96 < z < 1.96.

When do we use in probability: -the area to the right of Z (when to use right Z-table) -the area to the left (when to use left Z-table)

When do we use in probability: -the area to the right of Z (when to use right Z-table) -the area to the left (when to use left Z-table) -and when do you subtract 1 from the area to the left instead of using the right table ?

Please use an example to explain when we should use the test. The example should specify how will you manipulate your IVs and measure your DV, and how the participants will be tested (e.g., same group of participants or different groups) (8 points): 1) Independent sample t test 2) Paired-sample t test 3) One-way ANOVA 4) 2*2 factorial ANOVA

When do you use each test? 1) 1-Proportion z test 2) T-test 3) 2 sample t...

When do you use each test? 1) 1-Proportion z test 2) T-test 3) 2 sample t test 4) Matched pairs test

For acid woke up, when do we use H2O or H3O+. Please give example. Thank you.

Conceptually, what are we doing when we test for statistical significance (such as in a z-test or t-test)? Where does the commonly used 95% confidence level come from? What is an effect size and what additional information does it provide about a finding?

1- Give a definition of the term entity and give an original example. 2- Give a definition of term attribute and give three examples for the entity in question ( 1 ). 3- Give a definition of term relationship and give an original example for the entity in question ( 1 ).

What do we mean when we say “a preferred size”? Explain and give an example.

Provide an original example where you perform a hypothesis test using the one-mean z-test. Provide within this part the following items: State the null hypothesis. State the alternative hypothesis test. State the chosen alpha level of significance. Use the critical value approach to determine whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Use the p-value approach to determine whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis. Discuss how a Type I or Type II error could...
