Question: Complete the following: (30 pts – 10 pts. ea.)

a. Select a variable. Compare the mean of the variable for a sample of 30 for one group with the mean of the variable for a sample of 30 for a second group. Show a hypothetical set of data with a hypothetical mean and standard deviation and show all calculations for conducting a z test with these data.

b. Select a variable. Compare the mean of the variable for a sample of 10 for one group with the mean of the variable for a sample of 10 for a second group. Show a hypothetical set of data with a hypothetical mean and standard deviation and show all calculations for conducting a t test with these data.

c. Select a variable that will enable you to compare proportions of two groups. Use sample sizes of at least 30. Use the z test for proportions to analyze the data.

You may obtain raw data from the random number table in the appendix section of your text or from any other sources; including sources on the World Wide Web.
