For each of the following research situations, identify the level of measurement of all variables. Also, decide which statistical applications are used: descriptive statistics (single variable), descriptive statistics (two or more variables), or inferential statistics. Remember that it is quite common for a given situation to require more than one type of application.a. The administration of your university is proposing a change in parking policy. You select a random sample of students and ask each one if he or she favors or opposes the change. You then use the results to estimate the support for the change in the entire student body.b. You ask everyone in your social research class for their highest grade in any math course and the grade on a recent statistics test. You compare the two sets of scores to see if there is any relationship.c. Your aunt is running for mayor and hires you to question a sample of voters about their concerns.

The table below summarizes data from a survey of a sample of women. Using a 0.05 significance level, and assuming that the sample sizes of 900 men and 400 women are predetermined, test the claim that the proportions of agree/disagree responses are the same for subjects interviewed by men and the subjects interviewed by women. Does it appear that the gender of the interviewer affected the responses of women? Q Women who agree Women who disagree Gender of Interviewer Man 555 345 Woman 318 82 Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. A. Ho: The proportions of agree/disagree responses are the same for the subjects interviewed by men and the subjects interviewed by women. H₁: The proportions are different. B.

. Myers-Briggs: Actors Isabel Briggs Myers was a pioneer in the study of personality types. The following information is taken from MBTI Manual: A Guide to the Development and Use of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator by Myers and McCaulley (Consulting Psychologists Press). In a random sample of 62 professional actors, it was found that 39 were extroverts. Let p represent the proportion of all actors who are extroverts. Find a point estimate for p. Find a 95% confidence interval for p. Give a brief interpretation of the meaning of the confidence interval you have found. Check Requirements Do you think the conditions np > 5 and nq > 5 are satisfied in this problem? Explain why this would be an important consideration.

1.A study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of hypnotism in reducing pain. Results for eight randomly selected subjects are given in the accompanying table. The values are pain measurements for each subject, before and after hypnosis; the sensory measurements are from a medical pain scale.
