    1. The first scenario involves testing whether there is a significant relationship between sex and preference for Calculus using a sample of 225 students. A chi-square test would be used to determine if the variables are independent. 2. The second scenario involves testing if positive self-views in different aspects of life are correlated using a sample of 50 men. A nonparametric correlation test like Spearman's rho would be used due to the ordinal scale data. 3. The third scenario involves determining the correlation between tire wear on the left and right front tires of 243 cars. A Pearson correlation would be used to test for a linear relationship between the interval/ratio scale variables.

    WEEK 5 – QUIZ

    Part A. Read each of the following scenarios below. Identify what


    statistical test is to be used and justify. Explain briefly. (5 points each)

    1. The researcher surveyed 225 freshmen students of USLS randomly and asked if
    Calculus is their favorite subject (yes/no). He was particularly interested whether
    there is a significant relationship between sex and Calculus preference.

    2. A university researcher is interested to find out if people who have positive view
    of themselves in one aspect of their lives is linked to have positive view of
    themselves in other aspects of their lives. To address this question, he has
    purposively chosen 50 men to complete a self-concept inventory that contains 2
    scales. The 2 scales involve questions about how competent respondents feel in
    the areas of academic reasoning and scholarly knowledge. The inventory yields
    ordinal data.

    3. Taikaru Tires measures the tire wear for the right and left tires (front tires only)
    of the new model they have designed and would like to determine the correlation
    between the two. In the first line of production, the company was able to
    produce 243 cars. The tire wear was measured using a score of 0-100.

    Part B. FOR EACH OF THE PROBLEMS BELOW, INDICATE THE FOLLOWING:


    A) STATEMENT OF THE HYPOTHESES
    B) VARIABLES
    C) STATISTICAL TEST TO BE USED
    D) CONCLUSION

    1. A production supervisor has observed that certain types of defects in the


    production are found in different work shifts of the factory workers. He is
    interested to find out whether the type of defect (Defect A, B, C or D) is
    associated with work shift (Shift 1, 2, or 3). Level of significance is at .05. Refer
    to the SPSS outputs below.

    2. A health worker is interested to find out if there is a correlation between body


    temperature (degrees Celsius) and heart rate (beats per minute). She gathered
    the clinical profile of 100 individuals in terms of their heart rate and body
    temperature. Data is assumed to be normally distributed with no significant
    outliers. SPSS results are presented below. Level of significance is at .05
