Contingency Analysis (Ch. 9)
In lab 5, part 3, you will create a mosaic plot and conducted a chi-square contingency test to
evaluate whether elderly patients who did not stop walking to talk (vs. those who did stop)
were more likely to suffer a fall in the next six months. I have tabulated the data below.
Answer the questions below. Please show your calculations on this or a separate sheet.
Did not stop walking to talk

who did not stop walking vs. those who did stop walking. Interpret your result verbally.
Solve please and thank you!

- Question 1:We want to evaluate the impact on the monetary economy for a company of two types of strategy (competitive strategy, cooperative strategy) adopted by buyers.Competitive strategy: strategy characterized by firm behavior aimed at obtaining concessions from the buyer.Cooperative strategy: a strategy based on a problem-solving negotiating attitude, with a high level of trust and cooperation.A random sample of 17 buyers took part in a negotiation experiment in which 9 buyers adopted the competitive strategy, and the other 8 the cooperative strategy. The savings obtained for each group of buyers are presented in the pdf that i sent: For this problem, we assume that the samples are random and come from two normal populations of unknown but equal variances.According to the theory, the average saving of buyers adopting a competitive strategy will be lower than that of buyers adopting a cooperative strategy.a) Specify the population identifications and the hypotheses H0 and H1…arrow_forwardYou assume that the annual incomes for certain workers are normal with a mean of $28,500 and a standard deviation of $2,400.
