People who experience online harassment either ignore it or respond via postings or involving authorities Is one method more eff

ective than the other? A 2014 Pew Research Center report, based on a random sample of American adults, found that 412 of the 549 respondents who had chosen to ignore online harassment thought that it was an effective way to deal with the issue. Of the 368 respondents who had chosen to respond to online harassment, 305 thought that it had been effective A.
Required:
a. Is there good evidence that one approach is more likely to be effective than the other? State the null and alternative hypotheses, obtain the test statistic and P-value, and conclude in context.
b. How large is the difference? Obtain and interpret in context a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of American adults who find ignoring online harassment effective and those who find responding to it effective.
c. How effective is that best method? Obtain and interpret in context a 95% confidence interval for theproportion of American adults who find the best m ethod effective.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First method information:

Sample size  n₁  = 549

x₁ ( people ignoring on-line harassment )  =  412

Proportion of people ignoring on-line harassment  p₁

p₁ =  412/549   p₁  =  0,75   q₁ =  1  -  p₁    q₁ = 0,25

Second method ( people chosen to respond)

Sample size   n₂  =  368

number of people responding   x₂  = 305

Proportion of people responding

p₂ =  305/ 368    p₂ =  0,83   then  q₂  =  0,17

a) Looking for differences in the approachs

Hypothesis test:

Null Hypothesis                     H₀         p₁  =  p₂

Alternative Hypothesis         Hₐ         p₁  ≠  p₂

Alternative Hypothesis indicates that the test is a two-tail test

Choosing a confidence interval  CI = 95 % then a significance level is       α = 5%     α  = 0,05  and from z-table we get  z(c) =  1.64

To calculate z(s)

z(s)  =  (  p₁  -  p₂ ) / EED

EED = √  p₁*q₁)/n₁  +  (p₂*q₂)n₂

EED = √  (0,75*0,25)/549   +  0,83*0,17)/368

EED = √ 3,41 *10⁻⁴   +  3,83*10⁻⁴

EED =   10⁻² *√ 3,41 + 3,83

EED =   10⁻² * 2,69

EED = 0,0269

z(s)  =  (  p₁  -  p₂ )/0,0269

z(s)  = -  0,08 / 0,0269

z(s)  =  - 2,97

p-value for z(s)  is  pvalue  = 0,0015

Comparing  z(s)  and  z(c)   modules

z(s) > z(c)  therefor z(s) is in the rejection region we have to reject H₀ and claim that there is a difference between the proportions

b) How large is the difference

A counselor at a community college claims that the mean GPA for students who have transferred to State University is more than 3
Lena [83]

Answer:

t=\frac{3.25-3.1}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{36}}}=3  

If we compare the p value and the significance level for example \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

And the best conclusion would be:

a) Yes. The counselor's claim is valid

Because we reject the null hypothesis in favor to the alternative hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=3.25 represent the sample mean

s=0.3 represent the sample standard deviation

n=36 sample size  

\mu_o =3.1 represent the value that we want to test  

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is more than 3.1, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq 3.1  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > 3.1  

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic  

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{3.25-3.1}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{36}}}=3  

P-value  

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:  

df=n-1=36-1=35  

Since is a one right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(t_{(35)}>3)=0.00247  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level for example \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

And the best conclusion would be:

a) Yes. The counselor's claim is valid

Because we reject the null hypothesis in favor to the alternative hypothesis.
