(a) A study looked into the views of workers towards a government policy of school closures in order to reduce coronavirus transmission. 300 participants from three sectors (hospitality, banking and construction) were interviewed and their responses were classified into three categories, namely positive, neutral and negative. The data are shown below. View Towards School Closure Positive Neutral Negative Total Hospitality Banking Construction 35 25 40 100 28 47 25 100 38 22 40 100 Total 101 94 105 300 i. Based on the data in the table, and without conducting a significance test, describe the differences of views across the different sectors. ii. Calculate the x² statistic and use it to test for independence, using a 5% significance level. What do you conclude?

2.- The journal Behavioral Research in Accounting published a study of Machiavellian traits in accountants. Machiavellian describes negative character traits that include manipulation, cunning, duplicity, deception, and bad faith. A questionnaire by email was administered to a random sample of 700 accounting alumni of a large southwestern university; however, due to nonresponse and incomplete answers, only 198 questionnaires could be analyzed. Several variables were measured, including age, gender, level of education, income, job satisfaction score, and Machiavellian (“Mach") rating score. The research findings suggest that Machiavellian behavior is not required to achieve success in the accounting profession. a) What is the populatidn of interest to the researcher? Answer: Business accountants in the southwest Accountants in general Accounting alumni from this university Business alumni from this university b) What inference was made by the researcher?

In a study examining the effect of humor on interpersonal attractions, McGee and Shevlin (2009) found that a man's sense of humor had significant effect on how he was perceieved by woman. In the study, female college students were given brief descriptions of a po tential romantic partner and then rated the attractiveness of the male on a scale from 1 (low) to 7 (high). The fictitious male was described positively as being single , ambitious, and having good job prospects. In one dition, the description also said that he had a great sense of humor. The results showed that the description was rated significantly higher when "a sense of humor" was included. To further examine this effect, a researcher selected a sample of n = 16colle college males and asked them to read a brief description of a female and then rate the attractiveness of the woman in the description . The description had been used in previous research but was modified by adding a statement describing a good sense of humor…

Hospital administrators at a local hospital are interested in quality of care. As such, they ask a random sample of patients that have used the hospital's health care services to fill out a questionnaire. The questionnaire has questions about the patient's worry (negative, positive), the hospital staff's communication skills (low, medium, high), and satisfaction with medical care. The administrators are interested in how patient's worry and their assessment of the hospital staff's communication impact their satisfaction with medical care. The survey data are below. What can the administrators conclude with an α of 0.01? Communication Worry low med high negative 76868 54545 67495 positive 86677 78687 78666 A) Input the appropriate value(s) to make a decision about H0.Worry: p-value = Communication: p-value = Interaction: p-value = B) Using the SPSS results, compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicate magnitude(s).Worry: η2 = Communication: η2 =…
