- Do undergraduates sleep less than graduate students?A student conducted a study of sleep habits at a large state university. His hypothesis is that undergraduates will party more and sleep less than graduate students. He surveyed random samples of 75 undergraduate students and 50 graduate students. Subjects reported the hours they sleep in a typical night.For this hypothesis test, he defined the population means as follows:
đ1 is the mean number of hours undergraduate students sleep in a typical night.đ2 is the mean number of hours graduate students sleep in a typical night.
Variables
Hours: typical number of hours a student sleeps each night
Program: undergraduate or graduate Prompt
- State the null and alternative hypotheses. Include a clear description of the populations and the variable.
- Explain why we can safely use the two-sample T-test in this case.
- State a conclusion in the context of this problem.
- answer all the questions from the prompt
- No outside sources at all.

1.
State the null and alternative hypotheses. Include a clear description of the populations and the
variable.
The population are all undergraduate students and all graduate students. There are
two variables the number of hours a student sleeps each night and the groups, either
undergraduate or graduate.
Null hypothesis:
In words: undergraduates sle...

Evaluate The Discussion Scenario
6210 Week 5 Discussion: How To Critically Evaluate The Discussion Scenario:Consider this scenario: A research paper claims a meaningful contribution to the literature based on finding statistically significant relationships between predictor and response variables. In the footnotes, you see the following statement, âgiven this research was exploratory in nature, traditional levels of significance to reject the null hypotheses were relaxed to the .10 level.First, read and watch all of the course materials beginning tonight because youâre paying for this course.Next, here is an outline that you may consider to respond to this discussion requirement:Define meaningful in the context of research and statistics and provide a citation from the Course Materials to support your definition. Do not use a dictionary. Hint: The American Statistical Association has a position on meaningfulness.Define statistical significance and provide a citation to support your definition. Hint: What does statistical significance mean? Critique the 0.10 level of significance in the context of making a Type I or Type II error:Define a Type I error in terms of the null hypothesis. Start with, âA Type I error is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is⊠âŠâ Define a Type II error in terms of the null hypothesis. Start with, âA Type II error is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is ⊠âŠâHint: The probability of making a Type I error when the level of significance is .05 So what is the probability of make a Type I error when the level of significance is 0.10?Hint: The probability of making a Type II error is not 1.00 less the level of significance. It is in fact, undefined, but the probability of making a Type ll error when the level of significance is 0.10 is less than when the level of significance is .05. Trust me. Decide if a 0.10 level of significance is more likely to result in a Type I or Type II error when compared to a level of significance of 0.05.Generally, social scientists conduct research with human participants. State if a Type I or a Type II error is more likely to cause harm to a human participant. Include a citation to support your position. Ask yourself why a researcher would ârelaxâ a level of significance from the traditional 0.05 to 0.10. Ask yourself if and/or why a reputable peer-reviewed journal (think, The Lancet) would publish such research? Ask yourself if all published research is quality research (think again about The Lancet).Put all of this in a coherent narrative devoid of spelling and grammatical errors, put a pretty bow on it, post it before Wednesday at 0-dark-thirty Mid-Northern Southwest Asia Middling time, take 2 Advil and a shot of Makerâs Mark, and go to bed. Statistical Significance and MeaningfulnessOnce you start to understand how exciting the world of statistics can be, it is tempting to fall into the trap of chasing statistical significance. That is, you may be tempted always to look for relationships that are statistically significant and believe they are valuable solely because of their significance. Although statistical hypothesis testing does help you evaluate claims, it is important to understand the limitations of statistical significance and to interpret the results within the context of the research and its pragmatic, âreal worldâ application.As a scholar-practitioner, it is important for you to understand that just because a hypothesis test indicates a relationship exists between an intervention and an outcome, there is a difference between groups, or there is a correlation between two constructs, it does not always provide a default measure for its importance. Although relationships are significant, they can be very minute relationships, very small differences, or very weak correlations. In the end, we need to ask whether the relationships or differences observed are large enough that we should make some practical change in policy or practice.For this Discussion, you will explore statistical significance and meaningfulness.To prepare for this Discussion:Review the Learning Resources related to hypothesis testing, meaningfulness, and statistical significance.Review Magnussonâs web blog found in the Learning Resources to further your visualization and understanding of statistical power and significance testing.Review the American Statistical Associationâs press release and consider the misconceptions and misuse of p-values.Consider the scenario: A research paper claims a meaningful contribution to the literature based on finding statistically significant relationships between predictor and response variables. In the footnotes, you see the following statement, âgiven this research was exploratory in nature, traditional levels of significance to reject the null hypotheses were relaxed to the .10 level.âBy Day 3Post your response to the scenario in which you critically evaluate this footnote. As a reader/reviewer, what response would you provide to the authors about this footnote?Be sure to support your Main Post and Response Post with reference to the weekâs Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.

West Coast University Week 7 Correlation Does Not Mean Causation Discussion
You may have heard it said before that âcorrelation does not imply causation.â This can also be called spurious correlation, which is defined as a correlation between two variables that does not result from a direct relationship between them. Instead, it results from the variablesâ relationship to other variables. One example is the relationship between crime and ice cream sales. Ice cream sales and crime rates are highly correlated. However, ice cream sales do not cause crime; instead, it is both variablesâ relationship to weather and temperature.Do some research and find some interesting, or even funny, examples of spurious correlation. Share, cite your source, and discuss. Why is this an example of spurious correlation? How do you know?Do not use the same example given from another student. Make sure you read your classmatesâ posts before submitting your example.Search entries or author
