11. You've obtained a chi square of 34.56, and it's significant. You want to test how strong the relationship between these two variables is. You have a sample size of 75. You have a table with 2 rows and 4 columns. What's your Cramer's V?


12. Say you have a phi-coefficient of 0.51. How strong is the relationship between the two variables it tests?


13. You’ve obtained a chi square of 10.98, and it’s significant. You want to test how strong the relationship between these two variables is. You have a sample size of 50. What’s your phi-coefficient?


14. You’ve obtained a chi square of 16.52, and it’s significant. You want to test how strong the relationship between these two variables is. You have a sample size of 75. What’s your phi-coefficient?


15. Is the interpretation of the following regression line correct?

Regression line: y = 20.5 + 1.4 ( x )

Interpretation: For every one unit increase in y, there is a 1.4 increase in x.


16. Is the interpretation of the following regression line correct?

Regression line: y = 0.89 + 2.3 ( x )

Interpretation: For every one unit increase in y, there is a 0.89 increase in x.


17. Is the interpretation of the following regression line correct?

Regression line: y = 0.5 1.7 ( x ) " style="max-width: 694px;" rel="max-width: 694px;"> y = 0.5 1.7 ( x )

Interpretation: For every one unit increase in x, there is a 1.7 decrease in y.


18. What type of relationship, positive or negative, is portrayed in the following sentence? When crime worsens, individuals' willingness to help their neighborhoods decreases.


19. What type of relationship, positive or negative, is portrayed in the following sentence? The statistical relationship shows that when foreclosure rates increase, crime worsens.

23. A friend of yours suggests that at least 10% of people at your university have had something stolen from them on campus in the past year. This is your population value. You take a random sample of 100 people in you classes to determine if your friend is correct, you think that they may be wrong. You find that 15% of them have had something stolen.

Would you use z or t to test this hypothesis?


24. A friend of yours suggests that at least 10% of people at your university have had something stolen from them on campus in the past year. This is your population value. You take a random sample of 100 people in you classes to determine if your friend is correct, you think that they may be wrong. You find that 15% of them have had something stolen.

Would you have a one or two tailed test?

What is the value of your test statistic?


26. What are the age differences among teens that report being delinquent (or not)? Conduct a two mean hypothesis test to ascertain whether there is an age difference between teens who report being delinquent and teens that report no delinquency. Use a significance level of α = 0.05 and the information below.

No Delinquency

Delinquent

n = 21

n = 5

s1 = 0.6

s2 = 1.6

x1 = 13

x2 = 17

Would the alternative hypothesis for this test be directional or non-directional?


27. Let’s say we believe that desk-officers and patrol-officers spend different get differing numbers of overtime hours because of their different assignments.

Use a significance level of α = 0.01 and the information below.

Desk Officers

Patrol Officers

n = 4

n = 7

s1 = 2.9

s2 = 2.0

x ¯ 1 = 3 x ¯ 2 = 5

What do you conclude?
