Part 1

1. Is the mean pulse for male Islanders different from the mean pulse for female Islanders?

2. See graph below.

3. μ1-μ2, the difference in true mean pulse rate for male and female Islanders.

4. The first assumption I am checking is to see if both groups have quantitative data. Being

that we are evaluating pulse, the data sets are both quantitative data. Secondly, are the

data sets independent random samples? This is also true for the fact that the way to

collect the data was by using random.org to select what village, house, and individuals

we selected for the project. Lastly, are there 30 individuals in each group? This is also

true and by checking this off, we are able to verify that all the assumptions have been

met.

5. (-6.82,2.76)
6. We are 95% confident that the true difference in mean pulse between male and female

Islanders lies between -6.82 and 2.76 beats per minute. This interval includes 0,

suggesting that there may be no significant difference between the mean pulse rates of

males and females.

Part 2

7. Is there a difference in the population proportion of male and female Islanders that are

married?

8.

9. P1-p2, the difference in the true proportion of male and female Islanders that are

married.

a. 𝐻𝑜: 𝑝1 − 𝑝2 = 0

b. 𝐻𝑎: 𝑝1 − 𝑝2 ≠ 0

10. The first assumption I will be checking is seeing if the data is categorical (yes/no)? The

data is categorical so it’s met that assumption. The next assumption is seeing if it is a
simple random sample, which is also true due to the fact that the way to collect the data

was by using random.org to select what village, house, and individuals we selected for

the project. Lastly is checking to see if we have at least 15 success and 15 failures

(married/not married) within both groups. As I look at the bar graph, in both groups male

and female, we have over 15 married individuals and less than 15 not married in each

group. Due to the small sample size, when using a z-test for the difference of proportions

may not provide a valid p-value, leading to an incorrect conclusion.

11. Test statistics z= -0.26, P-value = 0.793

12. A p-value of 0.793 means that there is a high probability of the observed result occurring

by change, given that the null hypothesis is true. Therefore, you would not reject the null

hypothesis and would conclude that there is no significant effect or difference based on

the data.

Conclusion

13. Part one (Pulse Rates): The 95% confidence interval for the difference in average pulse

rates includes zero, meaning there is no strong evidence to suggest a difference

between the pulse rates of males and females. Part two (Marriage Proportions): The

p-value of 0.793 indicates that there is no significant difference in the proportion of

married males and females. It’s also important to mention that this study didn’t not meet

all the assumptions, more specifically, have at least 15 successes or failures in each

group. This greatly affects the results so it’s fair to say part two doesn’t meet a true

representation in the proportion of married males and females in the Islands. The
p-value helps you decide whether to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis based on

how likely your results are under the assumptions that there’s no effect or difference.

Extra Credit

14. The results from both the 95% confidence interval and the permutation test lead to the

same conclusion: there is no significant difference in the pulse rates of males and

females. Therefore, we fail to reject the null hypothesis, meaning the difference between

the two groups could be due to random chance.
