Are job applicants with easy to pronounce last names more likely to get called for an interview than applicants with difficult to pronounce last names. 648 job applications were sent out with last names that are easy to pronounce and 755 identical job applications were sent out with names that were difficult to pronounce. 460 of the "applicants" with easy to pronounce names were called for an interview while 503 of the "applicants" with difficult to pronounce names were called for an interview. What can be concluded at the 0.10 level of significance?
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.
