Learn by DoingMatched Pairs: In this lab you will learn how to conduct a matched pairs T-test for a population mean using StatCrunch. We will work with a data set that has historical importance in the development of the T-test.Some features of this activity may not work well on a cell phone or tablet. We highly recommend that you complete this activity on a computer.Here are the directions, grading rubric, and definition of high-quality feedback for the Learn by Doing discussion board exercises. A list of StatCrunch directions is provided at the bottom of this page.ContextGosset's Seed Plot DataWilliam S. Gosset was employed by the Guinness brewing company of Dublin. Sample sizes available for experimentation in brewing were necessarily small. At that time, Gosset contacted a famous statistician Karl Pearson (1857-1936) and was told that there were no techniques for developing probability models for small data sets. Gosset studied under Pearson, and the outcome of his study was perhaps the most famous paper in statistical literature, "The Probable Error of a Mean" (1908), which introduced the T-distribution.Since Gosset was employed by Guinness, any work he produced would be owned by Guinness, so he published under a pseudonym, "Student"; hence, the T-distribution is often referred to as Student's T-distribution.To illustrate his analysis, Gosset used the results of seeding 11 different plots of land with two different types of seed: regular and kiln-dried. He wanted to determine if drying seeds before planting increased plant yield. Since different plots of soil may be naturally more fertile, this confounding variable was eliminated by using the matched pairs design and planting both types of seed in all 11 plots.The resulting data (corn yield in pounds per acre) are as follows.PlotRegular seedKiln-dried Seed11903200921935191531910201142496246352108218061961192572060212281444148291612154210131614431115111535We use these data to test the hypothesis that kiln-dried seed yields more corn than regular seed.Because of the nature of the experimental design (matched pairs), we are testing the difference in yield.PlotRegular seedKiln-dried SeedDifference119032009–10621935191520319102011–10142496246333521082180–7261961192536720602122–62814441482–38916121542701013161443–1271115111535–24Note that the differences were calculated: regular − kiln-dried.VariablesRegular seed: regular seeds that were traditionally used for plantingkiln-dried: seed that were kiln-dried before plantingDataDownload the seed (Links to an external site.) data file, and then upload the file into StatCrunch. PromptState the hypotheses and define the parameter.Checking conditions: Since Gosset invented the T-distribution, we will assume that his sample meets the conditions and proceed with the T-test. Regardless, answer these questions to demonstrate your understanding of the conditions for use of the T-model.But first you will need to review the dotplots for the data (opens in a new tab). Which graph is used to check conditions? Why?What do we look for in the graph to verify that conditions are met?What else do we need to know about the sample of seeds before using the T-test?Use StatCrunch to find the T-score and the P-value. Hint: as you work through the StatCrunch directions, keep in mind that we want to calculate the differences as regular − kiln-dried . So you will choose Regular seed for Sample 1 and kiln-dried seed for Sample 2.

Research Question: How can creating health programs for children and parents in middle school lead to decreasing the consumption of tobacco in teenagers? Provide an introduction and/or description for the survey at the beginning of the surveyInclude the following under survey comments page:Include the main research questionWhat question is measuring the dependent variableWhat question is measuring the main independent variableSurvey should have not more than 10 questionsThe survey must also include at least 2 open ended questions where participants provide their opinions. These questions need to be related to your topic and hypothesisNumber and order each question. Recommend not more than 10 questions. Make sure to have the responses separated and code them. This will help you in creating your codebook and data entry in Excel. For example:Q1. Gender MaleFemaleStudent’s with approved surveys can proceed to the data collection phase and start the interviewSurvey questions to collect information from 30 participants utilizing paper, on-line survey platform (e.g., SurveyMonkey, Zoomerang) or by emailThe data for your short survey should be entered into an Excel database with codebook
