Medium Anxiety

The odds of being accepted given male for department 2 is: Accepted | Male = P(Accepted | Male) / P(Not Accepted | Male) = 15 / 20 = 0.75 b. For department 3: Find the odds ratio of being accepted for males vs females. Odds ratio for department 3 = (Odds of being accepted | Male) / (Odds of being accepted | Female) = (12/18) / (15/15) = 0.667 c. For department 5: Test the hypothesis that gender does not affect acceptance using a chi-square test. Report the test statistic, p-value, and conclusion.

Question 1

a. If the two variables are independent, how many students do you expect to have a High
Need to succeed in school and a Medium level of anxiety?

Solution

The column total for a Medium Anxiety level is 127. The row total for high need to succeed in school
is 155. The sample size or total surveyed is 400.

E = (row total)*(column total) total surveyed = (155)*(127)/ 400 = 49.21 The expected number of
students who have a medium anxiety level and a high need to succeed in school is about 49.

b. Test the hypothesis that the “need to succeed in school” is associated with “anxiety
level”. Make sure you setup the null and alternate hypothesis, report the chi-square
statistic and p-value and draw conclusions.

Solution

H0 : There is no association between that the “need to succeed in school” with “anxiety level”.

H1 : There is association between that the “need to succeed in school” with “anxiety level”.

α = 0.05

test statistics= ∑ (O - E)^2/ E

chi2 = 48.52

p-value = 0.0001

conclusion:

p-value < α so we are able to reject null hypothesis and there is statistical evidence to conclude
that there is association in between that the “need to succeed in school” with “anxiety level”

c. If there is a statistical association between “need to succeed in school” and “anxiety


level”, what patterns do you see?

I can this pattern that if the anxiety level and need to succeed in school reduce from high to
medium the number of students high but as this goes to low from medium number of students
will reduce.

Question 2
a. Use the chi-square test to see if Labor Status and Marital Status are dependent. Make
sure you setup the null and alternate hypothesis, report the chi-square statistic and p-
value and draw conclusions.

H0 : The Labor Status and Marital Status are independent

H1 :The Labor Status and Marital Status are dependent

α=0.05

chi2 = ∑ (O - E)^2/ E

= 4.1621

p-value= 0.3845

conclusion:

p-value > α so we don’t reject null hypothesis and there is statistical evidence to conclude that
Labor Status and Marital Status are independent

b. For the men who were “Employed” test the following hypothesis:

Ho: 𝜋𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑑 = .76, 𝜋𝑤,𝑑,𝑠 = .12, 𝜋𝑛_𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑑 = .12

Ha: At least one of the cell probabilities is different.

(Make sure you report the chi-square statistic and p-value and draw conclusions. This is
like the problems in 10.4)

Computations

The expected frequencies (np’s)will be

Number of employed x probability of married= 679* 0.76= 516.04

Number of employed x probability of Widowed, divorced etc= 103*0.12=12.36

Number of employed x probability of never married= 114*0.12=36.68

Chi2 = (n-np)^2/ np

=1451.84

p-value= 0.0001
conclusion:

p-value < α so we are able to reject null hypothesis and there is statistical evidence to conclude
that At least one of the cell probabilities is different.

c. For the men who were “Unemployed” test the following hypothesis:

Ho: 𝜋𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑑 = .76, 𝜋𝑤,𝑑,𝑠 = .12, 𝜋𝑛_𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑑 = .12

Ha: At least one of the cell probabilities is different.

(Make sure you report the chi-square statistic and p-value and draw conclusions. This is like the
problems in 10.4)

Computations

The expected frequencies (np’s)will be

Number of unemployed x probability of married= 69* 0.76= 516.04

Number of unemployed x probability of Widowed, divorced etc= 11*0.12=12.36

Number of unemployed x probability of never married= 13*0.12=36.68

Chi2 = (n-np)^2/ np

=160.1095

p-value= 0.0001

conclusion:

p-value < α so we are able to reject null hypothesis and there is statistical evidence to conclude

that At least one of the cell probabilities is different.

d. For the men who were “Not in the labor force” test the following hypothesis:

Ho: 𝜋𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑑 = .76, 𝜋𝑤,𝑑,𝑠 = .12, 𝜋𝑛_𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑑 = .12

Ha: At least one of the cell probabilities is different.

α =0.05

Chi2 = (n-np)^2/ np
=48.6

p-value= 0.0001

conclusion:

p-value < α so we are able to reject null hypothesis and there is statistical evidence to conclude
At least one of the cell probabilities is different.

3. This data was collected at the University of California at Berkeley concerning gender
patterns in graduate admissions. (Bickel and O’Connell, 1975). The cross-tabulated data
for acceptance (no or yes) vs. gender is given in thetable below for five separate
departments.

a. For department 2: Find the odds (Accepted | male).
