MAT 232 Ashford University Wk 2 Quartiles by Navigating Video Analysis Discussion
You will find Video 4: Variation 1: Introduction and Quartiles by navigating to the MSL Tools for Success link under Course Home. The video begins at the park, with cyclists and joggers going by. We show a very slow old woman going by on a bike, and then a bunch of racing cyclists. We point out that sometimes, what is interesting about a data set is not its average but how much it varies. We then discuss the weather in New York and San Francisco, which have pretty much the same average annual temperature, even though New York has hot summers and cold winters. Quartiles as a measure of variation are introduced by way of the price of food on take-out menus. The video ends with a practical application in medical research, where mean exposure to a toxin is far less interesting than the fact that a small number of individuals are exposed to very high levels.Answer the follow questions separately 150-200 eachWhat are some examples, other than temperature, where similar averages can be associated with very different distributions? A few thoughts: costs (e.g., cost of illegally downloading a song online is the same average cost of driving above the speed limit, assuming that you are only caught speeding occasionally); ERA of pitchers (i.e., some are very consistent, others are sometimes brilliant, sometimes horrible); success rates in surgery (i.e., do we want an operation that most surgeons can do pretty well, or one in which a few surgeons are nearly perfect and some have very poor results?)Give some practical uses of knowing variation. A few thoughts: You are traveling to a job interview; what clothes do you need to pack for a trip? Doctors need to know distributions of blood values to know whether a patient is out of range; industrial engineers need to know distributions, for example the strength of a certain part to see if there is a problem with a manufacturing machine; clothing manufacturers need to know the distribution of sizes, for example children’s clothes for a certain age.For many years, the New York subway had no air conditioning on the grounds that the average trip was only 15 minutes, and 15 minutes without air conditioning is no hardship, even in the New York summer. Critique this reasoning.

Comparing Independent Groups#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #Previously we learned the function t.test(), #which we used to conduct one-sample t-tests.#We can extend our knowledge of this function #for using it to compare 2 independent groups.#All we need to do is to add another variable to the function#Two ways to perform an Indepedent Sample t-test in R:# t.test(y~g)#where y is a vector of scores of the data and#g is a grouping variable# t.test(x, y)#where x and y represent scores from group 1 and #group 2, respectively#Which to use depends on how your DATA are STRUCTURED.#In Chapter 9, you learned two types of two-sample t tests: #1) Student's two-sample t-test (assumes variance is equal) #2) Welch's test (assumes variance is NOT equal)#The function t.test() can run either; #you change the parameter "var.equal"#to change which test you use#(remember: Student's t assumes equal variances).#To run two-sample t-test:#^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^## Student's t-test: t.test(x, y, var.equal=TRUE) OR # t.test(y~g, var.equal=TRUE)# Welch's test: t.test(x,y, var.equal=FALSE) OR # t.test(y~g, var.equal=FALSE)#^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^##We're going to create some data we can practice on using#the rnorm() function we learned before.#Let's assume that I measured 20 young people and #25 old people on some measure #(could be anything...perhaps IQ)#I'll simulate what their data might look like. young=rnorm(n=20, mean=0, sd=1)old=rnorm(n=25, mean=0.5, sd=1)#Our interest here is find out if the mean for this #variable is different between young and old people. mean(young); mean(old)#Because our data is structured such that each group #has it's own variable, we'll use the t.test function #that allows for that.#Similarly, we need to decide if we're going to use the#student's t-test or the welch's t-test.#NOTE: we simulated the data so that the variance would be #equal, so we'll presume that the student t-test is fine.#Remember we are testing:#H0: mu1 = mu2#HA: mu1 != mu2#We also have degrees_of_freedom=N1+N2-2t.test(old, young, var.equal=TRUE)#We then compare the p-value to our alpha level#A) If pval < alpha, then Reject the Null Hypothesis#B) If pval > alpha, then Fail to Reject the Null Hypothesis#Fail to reject!#OK...now, we're going to rearrange our data so that #it looks more like it will in real life when you collect it:yourdata=as.data.frame(matrix(, ncol=2, nrow=45))colnames(yourdata) = c("outcome", "group")yourdata[1:20, "outcome"]=youngyourdata[1:20, "group"]=1yourdata[21:45, "outcome"]=oldyourdata[21:45, "group"]=2yourdata#We can then run the more usual specification which is:t.test(yourdata$outcome ~ yourdata$group, var.equal=TRUE)#For the rest of the lab, we will use the t.test() #specification where each group has it's own variable.#??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????##Thought Question 1: Given all that we've just discussed, what does#it mean to reject the null hypothesis using our t.test? #??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????##---------------------------------------------------------------------------------# 2.

Comparing Dependent Groups: The Paired T-test#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #We just learned the various ways to conduct a t-test#for independent groups (ie. different people in each group). #We used Student's t-test, Welch's, and Yuen's. #Now we are going to learn about what to do when #our groups are dependent (ie. same people in each group). #Often the dependent groups we see are based on time, #such that people are measured at baseline (group1) #and we want to see how much they've changed at followup (group2). #Here is an example:#We are interested in measuring the weight of college freshmen before and after the first year #(to test whether or not there is any truth to the "freshman 15"?). We tested 16 freshmen on the #first day of school, and tested them again after finals week of the spring semester. The data #is recorded in a table in frosh.txt.frosh=read.table('frosh.txt', header=T)frosh#It is not valid to use a two-sample t-test to compare #the weight gain becuase the data are dependent (on the #same person)#Instead we will use the paired t-test.#The formula for calculating a paired t-test in R is again t.test(). #However, we change one parameter:#^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^## Paired t-test: t.test(x, y, paired=TRUE) #^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^##Let's run a PAIRED t-test for our data from the freshmen:t.test(frosh$Weight_before,frosh$Weight_after, paired=TRUE) #What would have happend if we ignored the fact that #this was a PAIRED or REPEATED Measure Design?#Let's find out by running the normal independent samples T-Testt.test(frosh$Weight_before,frosh$Weight_after) #Remember: This is WRONG

MAT 232 Ashford University Wk 2 Quartiles by Navigating Video Analysis Discussion
You will find Video 4: Variation 1: Introduction and Quartiles by navigating to the MSL Tools for Success link under Course Home. The video begins at the park, with cyclists and joggers going by. We show a very slow old woman going by on a bike, and then a bunch of racing cyclists. We point out that sometimes, what is interesting about a data set is not its average but how much it varies. We then discuss the weather in New York and San Francisco, which have pretty much the same average annual temperature, even though New York has hot summers and cold winters. Quartiles as a measure of variation are introduced by way of the price of food on take-out menus. The video ends with a practical application in medical research, where mean exposure to a toxin is far less interesting than the fact that a small number of individuals are exposed to very high levels.Answer the follow questions separately 150-200 eachWhat are some examples, other than temperature, where similar averages can be associated with very different distributions? A few thoughts: costs (e.g., cost of illegally downloading a song online is the same average cost of driving above the speed limit, assuming that you are only caught speeding occasionally); ERA of pitchers (i.e., some are very consistent, others are sometimes brilliant, sometimes horrible); success rates in surgery (i.e., do we want an operation that most surgeons can do pretty well, or one in which a few surgeons are nearly perfect and some have very poor results?)Give some practical uses of knowing variation. A few thoughts: You are traveling to a job interview; what clothes do you need to pack for a trip? Doctors need to know distributions of blood values to know whether a patient is out of range; industrial engineers need to know distributions, for example the strength of a certain part to see if there is a problem with a manufacturing machine; clothing manufacturers need to know the distribution of sizes, for example children’s clothes for a certain age.For many years, the New York subway had no air conditioning on the grounds that the average trip was only 15 minutes, and 15 minutes without air conditioning is no hardship, even in the New York summer. Critique this reasoning.
