Question 1. Compared to the ANOVA test, Chi Square procedures are not powerful (able to detect small differences).
Question 2. In confidence intervals, the width of the interval depends only on the variation within the data set.
Question 3. The percent confidence interval is the range having the percent probability of containing the actual population parameter.
Question 4. The Chi Square test can be performed on categorical (nominal) level data.
Question 5. For a one sample confidence interval, the interval is calculated around the estimated population or standard.
Question 6. The chi square test is very sensitive to small differences in frequency distributions.
Question 7. The probability that the actual population mean will be outside of a 98% confidence interval is
Question 8. A confidence interval is generally created when statistical tests fail to reject the null hypothesis – that is, when results are not statistically significant.
Question 9. A contingency table is a multiple row and multiple column table showing counts in each cell.
Question 10. For a one sample confidence interval, if the interval contains the population mean, the corresponding t-test will have a statistically significant result – rejecting the null hypothesis.

Question 1. A contingency table is a multiple row and multiple column table showing counts in each cell.
Question 2. The Chi Square test for independence needs a known (rather than calculated) expected frequency distribution.
Question 3. For a two-sample confidence interval, the interval shows the difference between the means.
Question 4. Statistical significance in the Chi Square test means the population distribution (expected) is not the source of the sample (observed) data.
Question 5. The chi square test is very sensitive to small differences in frequency distributions.
Question 6. The chi square test measures differences in frequency counts rather than measures differences (such as done in the t and ANOVA tests).
Question 7. The Chi Square test can be performed on categorical (nominal) level data.
Question 8. The degrees of freedom for both forms of the Chi Square test are calculated the same way.
Question 9. In confidence intervals, the width of the interval depends only on the variation within the data set.
Question 10. Compared to the ANOVA test, Chi Square procedures are not powerful (able to detect small differences).
BUS 308 Week 5 Quiz Set 3
Question 1. For a one sample confidence interval, if the interval contains the population mean, the corresponding t-test will have a statistically significant result – rejecting the null hypothesis.
Question 2. While rejecting the null hypothesis for the goodness of fit test indicates that distributions differ, rejecting the null for the test of independence means the variables interact.
Question 3. A contingency table is a multiple row and multiple column table showing counts in each cell.
Question 4. For a one sample confidence interval, the interval is calculated around the calculated sample mean.
Question 5. Having expected frequencies of 5 or less in a Chi Square test can increase the likelihood of a type I error – wrongly rejecting the null hypothesis.
Question 6. The degrees of freedom for the goodness of fit test equals
Question 7. For a one sample confidence interval, the interval is calculated around the estimated population or standard.
Question 8. The null hypothesis for the test of independence states that no correlation exists between the variables.
Question 9. The chi square test is very sensitive to small differences in frequency distributions.
Question 10. The chi square test measures differences in frequency counts rather than measures differences (such as done in the t and ANOVA tests).

BUS 308 Week 5 DQ 1 Updated
Part One – Confidence Intervals
Read Lecture Thirteen. Lecture Thirteen introduces you to confidence intervals. What is a confidence interval, and why do some prefer them to single point estimates? Ask your manager what is preferred and why? What are the strengths and weaknesses of using confidence intervals in making decisions? (This should be started on Day 1.)
Part Two – Chi Square
Read Lecture Fourteen. As Lecture Fourteen notes, the chi-square test is—in some ways—fundamentally different than the previous tests we have looked at. In what ways and why is this approach important? Examples were shown of gender-degree distributions and employees per grade. How do these tests help with understanding our equal pay for equal work question? Do they change or reinforce our decision from last week? What situations in your personal or professional lives could use a chi-square approach?
Part Three – Overall Reactions
Has your opinion about statistics changed? How can statistical analysis help your professional career?

BUS 308 Week 4 Problem Set (Regression and Correlation) Updated
Problem Set Week Four
This week we get to answer our equal pay for equal work question by looking at relationships between and among the different variables.
The first question this week looks at correlations and the creation of a correlation table for our variables. The second question asks for a regression equation showing how the different variables impact the compa-ratio measure. The third questions asks you to discuss the benefits of using a regression equation approach over the single variable tests we have been doing.
The forth question asks for what other information you would have liked to have analyzed in our research. The fifth question asks for your answer to the equal pay for equal work question of: Is the company paying fairly or not? If not, who benefits and why?
Regression and Corellation
Remember to show how you got your results in the appropriate cells. For questions using functions, show the input range when asked.
1. Create a correlation table using Compa-ratio and the other interval level variables, except for Salary.
Suggestion, place data in columns T – Y
a What range was placed in the Correlation input range box: Place C9 in output box.
b What are the statistically significant correlations related to Compa-ratio? T = Significant r =
c Are there any surprises – correlations you though would be significant and are not, or non significant correlations you thought would be?
d Why does or does not this information help answer our equal pay question?
2 Perform a regression analysis using compa as the dependent variable and the variables used in Q1 along with including the dummy variables. Show the result, and interpret your findings by answering the following questions. Suggestion: Place the dummy variables values to the right of column Y. What range was placed in the Regression input range box: Note: be sure to include the appropriate hypothesis statements.
Regression hypotheses
Ho:
Ha:
Coefficient hyhpotheses (one to stand for all the separate variables)
Ho:
Ha:
Place B36 in output box.
Interpretation: For the Regression as a whole:
What is the value of the F statistic:
What is the p-value associated with this value:
Is the p-value < 0.05?
What is your decision:
REJ or NOT reject the null?
What does this decision mean?
For each of the coefficients: Midpoint Age Perf. Rat. Service Gender Degree
What is the coefficient’s p-value for each of the variables: Is the p-value < 0.05?
Do you reject or not reject each null hypothesis:
What are the coefficients for the significant variables?
Using the intercept coefficient and only the significant variables, what is the equation?
Compa-ratio =
Is gender a significant factor in compa-ratio?
Regardless of statistical significance, who gets paid more with all other things being equal?
How do we know?
3 What does regression analysis show us about analyzing complex measures?
4 Between the lecture results and your results, what else would you like to know before answering our question on equal pay? Why?
5 Between the lecture results and your results, what is your answer to the question of equal pay for equal work for males and females? Why?

BUS 308 Week 4 DQ 1 Updated
Part One – Correlation
Read Lecture Ten. Lecture Ten introduces the idea that different variables may move together—sometimes due to causation and at other times due to an unknown influence. An example involves the perfect (+1.0) correlation between annual number of rum barrels imported into the New England region of the U.S. between the years 1790 and 1820 and the number of churches built each of those years (citation lost). Discuss this correlation: What does it tell us? Does rum drinking cause church building? Does church building cause rum drinking? Or what else could it tell us? If this correlation shows a cause and effect relationship, what drives what? If not, why does it exist? What could this correlation be used for? (This should be started on Day 1.)
Part Two – Linear Regression
Read Lecture Eleven. Lecture Eleven provides information showing a strong positive correlation and a significant linear regression existed between the individual’s salary and midpoint (used as a substitute for grade). This is not an unexpected outcome in a company. How useful are these in understanding what drives salary differences? Why? What examples of a linear regression might be useful in your personal or professional lives? Why? (This should be started on Day 3.)
Part Three – Multiple Regression
Read Lecture Twelve. In Lecture Twelve, a multiple-regression equation was developed that showed the factors that influenced a person’s salary and—almost as important—factors that did not influence salary. How do we interpret a multiple-regression equation? Pick one of the factors—whether statistically significant or not—used in the analysis, and describe its impact on salary, what the coefficient is and what it means, what its significance is, and whether you expected this outcome or not. (This should be completed by Day 5.)
