    The document contains three statistical analysis problems involving: 1) descriptive statistics on student exam scores, 2) determining if a relationship exists between watch preferences and age using chi-square, and 3) using a Wilcoxon test to determine if a drug improves hyperactive children's attention spans based on pre-and post-treatment task times.

    Statistics

    I.

    A.) Given the following results in Math 7 Achievement test in a certain school.

    Scores f
    93-100 5
    85-92 8
    77-84 4
    69-76 10
    61-68 9
    53-60 20
    45-52 15
    37-44 24
    29-36 2
    21-28 3

    Compute the following:


    a) Percentage Distribution e) Implications of the result to the future success of the
    b) Mean Score students
    c) Median Score f) Recommendation derived from the findings
    d) Standard Deviation

    B) Table I shows the challenges encountered by the secondary private school teachers in an X
    area using Online Distance Learning. Use the following scale for your interpretation.

    4.20-5.00 - Very much a challenge (VMC)


    3.40-4.19 - Much a challenge (MC)
    2.60-3.39 - Moderately a challenge (MoC)
    1.80-2.59 - Less a challenge (LC)
    1.00-1.79 - Least a challenge (LoC)

    Table I
    Challenges 5 4 3 2 1
    1.) Wi-Fi connectivity 2 10 15 2 1
    2.) Insufficient Learning Resources at Home 5 2 17 4 2
    3.) Lack of Training of Faculty Members 3 2 16 7 2
    4.) Boredom of students/lack of interest 10 9 6 3 2
    5.) Type of gadgets used by the students 8 10 11 1 0
    6.) Lack of parent/guardian support 10 9 5 4 2
    7.) Technology Know-how of students 7 15 3 4 1
    8.) Difficulty in conducting authentic assessment 8 7 6 8 1
    9.) Study area of student is not a conducive for learning 3 4 10 8 5

    Compute for the weighted mean per indicator. Interpret the result revealed and provide the
    possible recommendations.
    II. Use the Stepwise method to answer the following.

    1.) A manufacturer of watches would like to examine preferences for digital versus analog
    watches. A sample of n = 200 people is selected, and these individuals are classified by age and
    preference. The manufacturer would like to know whether there is a relationship between age
    and watch preference. The observed frequencies (f0) are as follows:

    Use .05 level of significance.


    PREFERENCE
    DIGITAL ANALOG UNDECIDED
    AGE UNDER 30 90 40 10
    OVER 30 10 40 10

    2.) Sensory isolation chambers are used to examine the effects of mild sensory deprivation. The
    chamber is a dark, silent tank where participants float on heavily salted water and are thereby
    deprived of nearly all external simulation. Sensory deprivation produces deep relaxation and has
    been shown to produce temporary increases in sensitivity for vision, hearing, touch, and even
    taste. The following data represent hearing threshold scores for a group of participants who
    were tested before and immediately after 1 hour of deprivation. A lower score indicates more
    sensitive hearing. Do these data indicate that deprivation has a significant effect on hearing
    threshold? Test at the .05 level of significance.

    PARTICIPANT BEFORE AFTER


    A 31 30
    B 34 31
    C 29 29
    D 33 29
    E 35 32
    F 32 34
    G 35 28

    3.) Hyperactive children often are treated with a stimulant such as Ritalin to improve their
    attention spans. In one test of this drug treatment, hyperactive children were given a boring
    task to work on. A psychologist recorded the amount of time (in seconds) each child spent on
    the task before becoming distracted. Each child’s performance was measured before he or she
    received the drug and again after the drug was administered. Because the scores on this task
    are extremely variable, the psychologist decided to convert the data to ranks. Use a Wilcoxon
    test wit a = .05 to determine whether the following data provide evidence that drug has a
    significant effect:

    CHILD TREATMENT 1 TREATMENT 2


    (WITHOUT THE DRUG) (WITH THE DRUG)
    1 28 135
    2 15 309
    3 183 150
    4 48 224
    5 30 25
    6 233 345
    7 21 43
    8 110 188
    9 12 15
