Module 2 - SLPCONFIDENCE INTERVALS AND HYPOTHESIS TESTINGAssume once again that you are a consultant who works for the Diligent Consulting Group. You are continuing to work on the analysis of the customer database from Module 1.SLP Assignment ExpectationsComplete the following tasks in the Module 2 SLP assignment template. Watch the following video for detailed, step-by-step instructions on completing this assignment:Generate a 95% confidence interval for the following two variables by hand: "Annual Amount Spent on Organic Food" and "Age."Generate a 95% confidence interval for the following two variables using the Excel formula =CONFIDENCE.T(): Annual Income and Number of People in the Household.Interpret the confidence intervals for each of the variables.The client insists the average income of his organic food customers is $150,000. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 0.10 level to test his statement. What is your decision?Privacy Policy | ContactModule 2 - BackgroundCONFIDENCE INTERVALS AND HYPOTHESIS TESTINGRequired ReadingThe primary resource for this module is Introductory Business Statistics, by Alexander, Illowsky, and Dean.Alexander, H., Illowsky, B., & Dean, S. (2017). Introductory Business Statistics. Openstax. Retrieved from https://openstax.org/details/books/introductory-business-statisticsFor Module 2, you should read through the following material in this textbook. There is quite a bit of detailed material in this module, so please start early.Chapter 7: The Central Limit TheoremSections 7.1 and 7.2 onlyThis chapter explains sampling distributions and the Central Limit Theorem.Chapter 8: Confidence IntervalsSections 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3 onlyThis chapter explains how to calculate confidence intervals for population means and proportions.Chapter 9: Hypothesis Testing with One SampleThis chapter introduces hypothesis testing, including the general steps and how to conduct one-sample tests.Chapter 10: Hypothesis Testing with Two SamplesSections 10.1, 10.3, and 10.6 onlyThis chapter expands on Chapter 9 material and focuses on two-sample tests. There are five tests introduced in this chapter, but we will only focus on three of them.

Whether in a scholarly or practitioner setting, good research and data analysis should have the benefit of peer feedback. For this Discussion, you will post your response to the hypothesis test, along with the results. Be sure and remember that the goal is to obtain constructive feedback to improve the research and its interpretation, so please view this as an opportunity to learn from one another. To prepare for this Discussion: Review Chapters 10 and 11 of the Frankfort-Nachmias & Leon-Guerrero course text and the media program found in this week’s Learning Resources related to bivariate categorical tests. Create a research question using the General Social Survey dataset that can be answered using categorical analysis. Use SPSS to answer the research question. Response to the following: Include the General Social Survey Dataset’s mean of Age to verify the dataset you used. What is your research question? What is the null hypothesis for your question? What research design would align with this question? What dependent variable was used and how is it measured? What independent variable is used and how is it measured? If you found significance, what is the strength of the effect? Explain your results for a lay audience and further explain what the answer is to your research question. Be sure to support your Main Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style. Learning ResourcesRequired ReadingsWagner, III, W. E.
