Confidence Interval
Investigators conducted a survey of nutritional status among a sample of children living
in a refugee camp. The following data were obtained:
mean nutritional index = 89.5
standard deviation = 9.9
standard error of mean = 0.7
Calculate the 95% confidence interval (show your calculations) and write a sentence explaining your findings. -
In the following scenario… we looked at persons preferences for using the stairs vs the elevator for going up vs going down. Calculate the odds ratio and interpret it. Show your work.
direct * device Crosstabulation device Total Stairs Escalator Direct Ascending Count 114 1741 1855 % within direct 6.1% 93.9% 100.0% Descending Count 331 1031 1362 % within direct 24.3% 75.7% 100.0% Total Count 445 2772 3217 % within direct 13.8% 86.2% 100.0%
The odds of using the stairs vs the escalator ascending is 114/1741 = 0.06
The odds of using the stairs vs the escalator descending is 331/1031 = 0.32
Therefore, the odds ratio of using the stairs descending vs ascending is 0.32/0.06= 5.333.
From the above information, you could state that the odds of using the stairs when ascending are 5.333 times the odds of using stairs when descending than descending in this particular study.
The following questions should be answered using the energy drink consumption and stress among college students data set that I am providing. -
Complete the following table:
Given the limited energy drink consumption and stress among college students data set that I am providing here, complete the following table:Gender/Year In School Freshmen Sophomore Junior Senior Male Female - Is there a relationship between stress and GPA? Stress and GPA are both interval measures. Justify y our answer with the correlation, direction, strength, and significance level.
- Is there a relationship between GPA (Interval) and Largest number of energy drinks consumed on any one occasion in the past 30 days? Be sure to state your answer as you would findings within an article.
- Does perceived stress (interval measure) di ffer by gender and year in school? State your answer as you would findings in an article. (Be sure to include interaction effects if any, and partial eta squared). For each main effect and interaction effect provide df, F value, p value and partial η 2 Does energy drink consumption ( largest number of energy drinks consumed on any occasion during the past 30 days ) differ by gender and year in school? For each main effect and interaction effect provide df, F value, p value and partial η 2
- PRETEST POSTTEST
Children were invited to participate in a farm safety day camp. The morning of the day camp participants were given a pre-test. At the end of the day they were given a post-test. The following are the participants’ scores. Assume an interval scale.
| Pretest | Posttest |
| 3 | 7 |
| 5 | 8 |
| 4 | 6 |

Provide a statement of the evaluation research hypothesis. (Not the null hypothesis). This means the statistical test s/b one tailed. You are testing for a difference between the means.
- H 1 : The farm safety day camp has an effect on the scores
- What is the appropriate test statistic? The t-test needs to be used
- What is the mean score for the pretest = 6.32
- What is the mean score for the posttest= 7.52
- df= 24
- obtained value = t = 2.45
- p= 0.022

Using the following data, attempt to predict systolic blood pressure from age and weight.
Include a statement of the equation. You have multiple independent variables… state whether or not each is significant. All should be considered Interval data. Write the conclusions… including the F score, and df. Interpret your findings.Systolic Age Weight 132 52 173 143 59 184 153 67 194 162 73 211 154 64 196 168 74 220 137 54 188 149 61 188 159 65 207 128 46 167 166 72 217
Next use the Farm Safety Day Camp Data. Here we examine willingness to attend future farm safety day camps based upon the participants ’ perception of how helpful former farm trainings have been . In this instance we will treat all data as nominal. - What are your findings? Provide Chi-Square statistic, def, and p value.
