Question Description

Refer to the data given for the change-of-majors study in the data file MAJORS. Consider gender and whether students changed majors as the two factors. Analyze the data for HSS, the high school science grades. Your analysis should include a table of sample sizes, means, and standard deviations; Normal quantile plots; a plot of the means; and a two-way ANOVA using sex and major as the factors. Write a short summary of your conclusions.



Refer to the data given for the change-of-majors study in the data file MAJORS. Consider gender and whether students changed majors as the two factors. Analyze the data for GPA, the college grade point average. Your analysis should include a table of sample sizes, means, and standard deviations; Normal quantile plots; a plot of the means; and a two-way ANOVA using sex and major as the factors. Write a short summary of your conclusions.


A study of undergraduate computer science students examined changes in major after the first year. The study examined the fates of 256 students who enrolled as first-year students in the same fall semester. The students were classified according to gender and their declared major at the beginning of the second year. For convenience we use the labels CS for computer science majors, EO for engineering and other science majors, and O for other majors. The explanatory variables included several high school grade summaries coded as 10 = A, 9 = A-, etc. Here are the mean high school mathematics grades for these students.

Major 
Gender CS EO 
Males 8.68 8.35 7.65 
Females 9.11 9.36 8.04 

Describe the main effects and interaction using appropriate graphs and calculations.

The mean SAT mathematics scores for the students are summarized in the following table.

Major

Males 628 618 589
Females 582 631 543

Summarize the results of this study using appropriate plots and calculations to describe the main effects and interaction.
