A group of participants was surveyed and the information collected shown in the partially completed contingency table below regarding gender and the attitudes on abortion. Firstly, calculate the missing values.
Support | Oppose | Undecided | Total | |
Female | 389 | 216 | 67 | U |
Male | V | W | 83 | 690 |
Total | 684 | X | Y | Z |
Now, using the completed contingency table, select the statements from the following list that are true. Note: a statement is true only if the value you calculated from the completed contingency table, when rounded to the same number of decimal places as in the statement, is the same as the value in the statement.
a. |
The probability a participant opposed abortion was 38.8%. |
|
b. |
The probability a participant was female and supported abortion was 24.8%. |
|
c. |
The probability a participant was male or was undecided about the issue of abortion was 61.7%. |
|
d. |
Gender and attitudes towards abortion are independent. |
|
e. |
The probability of male participants who were not undecided was 0.88. |
|
f. |
Of those surveyed who supported abortion, 43% were male. |

This question is an extension from Q2 above. The high school teacher was also interested in whether there is a gender difference in terms of the student’s choice of majors. So he broke the data down by gender in the following table and conducted a Chi-square test for independence with α = .05.

a. What are the variables in this analysis? What scale of measurement is each variable (nominal, ordinal, or continuous)? (2 points total: 1 for each variable- .5 for variable name, .5 for variable type)
b. State the null and alternative hypotheses in words (1 point total: .5 for each hypothesis)
c. Calculate X2 statistic (2 points total: 1 for final answer, 1 for the process of calculating it)
d. Calculate the degree of freedom and then identify the critical value (1 point total: .5 for df, .5 for critical value)
e. Compare the X2 statistic with the critical value, then report the hypothesis test result, using “reject” or “fail to reject” the null hypothesis in the answer (1 point total, .5 for each answer)
f. Explain the conclusion in a sentence or two, to answer the research question. (1 point)

1) You and a friend are talking about the probability of getting a heads on a single toss of a fair coin. Your friend insists that you are more likely to get a heads on a single toss of a fair coin than a tails. Is your friend correct, why or why not? If we were to toss the fair coin an infinite number of times, what would we expect?
2) What does it mean for two probabilities to be mutually exclusive? Provide an example of probabilities that are mutually exclusive.

Problem #3 You are a researcher who wants to know if there is a significant difference in teenagers who show aggressive behavior after watching violent video games. You, as a researcher, observe both males and females to find observed behavior after watching violent video games. Behavior observed will include cursing, yelling, pushing, punching or any gestures that resemble a threat. After your observation, you collect the following data. Use a chi square to test your hypothesis. Use table G to find the critical value and region to help you make your decision to reject or fail to reject the HO: Remember to find the degrees of freedom Rows-1 times columns -1 Use an alpha of .05.

Suppose the administrator of a clinic is interested in the number of visits per person per year for those that are insured. After selecting 15 people the number of visits was recorded as the following:
Patient # | Annual Number of visits |
1 | 8 |
2 | 7 |
3 | 7 |
4 | 6 |
5 | 6 |
6 | 5 |

14 | 1 |
15 | 1 |
By using Excel, data analysis, five numbers summary, and the Rubric.docx
Answer the following Question, Submit both (Excel file and word document)
1. The mean, mode, median of the annual number of visits.
2. Five points summary [ first Quartile, Second Quartile, third quartile, Maximum and Minimum]
3. Draw the box and whisker plot
4. Range, IQR
5. What is variance and standard deviation?
Why would knowing the variance and standard deviation of a distribution for a given data point be important for a Healthcare Administrator?
6. The skewness (Indicate if it is positively/negatively skewed) look over the video.
What would it mean if the distribution was negatively or positively skewed?
Why would this information be important for a Healthcare Administrator to know?
7. Do you have outiler in the number of visit? (if no explain how can you tell?)
8.Write a summary regarding the number of visits using the above information. [at least 500 words]

National Bearings manufactures bearings at plants located in Portland Oregon, Houston Texas, and Jacksonville Florida. To measure employee knowledge of Total Quality Management (TQM), six employees were randomly selected at each plant and tested. The test scores for these employees are given in DATA. Managers want to know if, on average, knowledge of TQM is equal across the 3 plants. Test equality of mean scores at Alpha = 0.05 .
What is the F value? p value? F critical value?
Do we reject equality mean or not? Is knowledge of TQM equal across all 3 plants or not?

A company makes cream (for face and hand) bottles that contain a mean amount of therapy cream of 650 ml per bottle as indicated on the label. To monitor its quality, the company randomly selected 100 bottles from the production line and the sample mean amount of cream was 640 ml per bottle. Assume that the amount of cream follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 4 ml . Is there evidence at 0.01 level of significance to conclude that the population mean amount of cream is not 650 ml per bottle? Use the confidence interval approach
