Short Answer

Why men and women play sports Do men and women participate in sports for the same reasons? One goal for sports participants is social comparision—the desire to win or to do better than other people. Another is mastery—the desire to improve one’s skills or to try one’s best. A study on why students participate in sports collected data from independent random samples of 67 male and 67 female under-graduates at a large university 15 Each student was classified into one of four categories based on his or her responses to a questionnaire about sports goals. The four categories were high social comparison– high mastery (HSC-HM), high social comparison– low mastery (HSC-LM), low social comparison–high mastery (LSC-HM), and low social comparison–low mastery (LSC-LM). One purpose of the study was to compare the goals of male and female students. Here are the data displayed in a two-way table: Observed Counts for Sports Goals

(a) Check that the conditions for performing the chi-square test are met.

(b) Use Table C to find the P-value. Then use your calculator’s C2cdf command.

(c) Interpret the P-value from the calculator in context.

(d) What conclusion would you draw? Justify your answer.

a)The given information satisfies each condition. As a result, the chi-square test can be applied to the given dataset.

b) The p-value is 0.1.621759222E-5.

c) If the null hypothesis is true, the p-value represents the probability of obtaining results that are as extreme as the test statistic value. If there is no relationship between gender and sports goal, the likelihood of getting a sample as extreme or more extreme than the given sample is 0.1.621759222E-5.

d) There is enough evidence to conclude that there is a relationship between the variables' goal and sex.

Part a Step 1 Given Information

Given that

Part a Step 2 Explanation

The expected table is

The following conditions must be met in order to use the chi-square test: - Two categorical variables.

- Each variable has two or more categories.

- Observation independence - Expected frequency for each cell is at least 1 or should be at least 5 for the majority (80%) of the cells.

Because the given information satisfies each condition. As a result, the chi-square test can be applied to the given dataset.

Part b Step 1 Given Information

The test statistics is 24.8978.

Part b Step 2 Explanation

d f=(n-1)(m-1)

p- value =Pχ2>χtext 2

d f=(4-1)(2-1)

d f=(4-1)(2-1)

= 3

There is the following commend to find p-value on TI83,

"χ2cdf(24.8978,99,3)"

The output is,

localid="1653293946609" So the p-value is 0.1621759222E-5.

Part c Step 1 Given Information

Part c Step 2 Explanation

H0: There is no difference in the distribution sports goals for male and female undergraduates at the university

H1: There is a difference in the distribution sports goals for male and female undergraduates at the university

If the null hypothesis is true, the p-value represents the probability of obtaining results that are as extreme as the test statistic value. If there is no relationship between gender and sports goal, the likelihood of getting a sample as extreme or more extreme than the given sample is 0.1621759222E-5.

Part d Step 1 Given Information

Part d Step 2 Explanation

When the pvalue is less than the level of significance, the null hypothesis is rejected.

In this case, the pvalue is less than the level of significance. As a result, the null hypothesis is rejected.

As a result, there is enough evidence to conclude that there is a relationship between the variables goal and sex.

Regulating guns The National Gun Policy Survey asked a random sample of adults, “Do you think there should be a law that would ban possession of handguns except for the police and other authorized persons?” Here are the responses, broken down by the respondent’s level of education:

(a) How do opinions about banning handgun ownership seem to be related to the level of education? Make an appropriate graph to display this relationship. Describe what you see.

(b) Determine whether or not the sample provides convincing evidence that education level and opinion about a handgun ban are independent in the adult population

Market research Before bringing a new product to market, firms carry out extensive studies to learn how consumers react to the product and how best to advertise its advantages. Here are data from a study of a new laundry detergent. The participants are a random sample of people who don’t currently use the established brand that the new product will compete with. Give subjects free samples of both detergents. After they have tried both for a while, ask which they prefer. The answers may depend on other facts about how people do laundry.

(a) How are laundry practices (water hardness and wash temperature) related to the choice of detergent? Make an appropriate graph to display this relationship. Describe what you see.

(b) Determine whether or not the sample provides convincing evidence that laundry practices and product preference are independent in the population of interest

A chi-square goodness-of-fit test is used to test whether a 0 to 9 spinner is "fair" (that is, the outcomes are all equally likely). The spinner is spun 100 times, and the results are recorded. The degrees of freedom for the test will be

(a) 8 .

(c) 10 .

(e) None of these.

(b) 9 .

(d) 99 .
