You hypothesize that people in stats classes are happier than people in all other classes. You compare happiness scores in three of your classes: Statistics, Developmental Psychology, and Social Psychology. In Statistics there are 15 students and the mean happiness rating is 23.1 with a standard deviation of 9.78. In Developmental Psychology there are 15 students and the mean happiness rating is 24.4 with a standard deviation of 2.92. In Social Psychology there are 15 students with a mean rating of 17.7 and standard deviation of 8.46. The sum of squares between groups is equal to 384. The sum of squares within groups is equal to 2461. Use the One-Way ANOVA calculation table to help calculate. What is the degrees of freedom between samples?
Russell is doing some research before buying his first house. He is looking at two different areas of the city, and he wants to know if there is a significant difference between the mean prices of homes in the two areas. For the 39 homes he samples in the first area, the mean home price is $⁢176,400. Public records indicate that home prices in the first area have a population standard deviation of $⁢32,930. For the 32 homes he samples in the second area, the mean home price is $⁢181,500. Again, public records show that home prices in the second area have a population standard deviation of $⁢23,835. Let Population 1 be homes in the first area and Population 2 be homes in the second area. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean home prices in the two areas. Round the endpoints of the interval to the nearest whole number, if necessary. Lowest Endpoint = upper Endpoint=
