Exhale Study Data

The statistic project displayed below gave us the opportunity to apply
the concepts we have learned during the course such as collecting
samples, organizing and analyzing data, and drawing conclusions of the
Exhale Study Data.
First I started by sorting the Exhale Study Data using the website called
StatCrunch using a gender categorical variable of the entire population.
Results: Female- 48.55% Male-51.45%

Secondly, I took the next four graphs displayed by using two
different sampling methods: Systematic and Random Sampling.
Each sample displays the results with a pie chart and a pareto
chart.

The random sample had a sample size of 36/654 and the systematic
method had 45/654 while using the online website Random.org.

Part three of the assignment by using StatCrunch I was able to compute
the population mean, population standard deviation and the five-
number summary. A box plot and frequency histogram were used to
display the data results.

Using two sampling methods: Systematic and Random sampling I was
able to compute the sample statistics for each method.

The quantitative variable used in the study was the age of the
population. The first method used was random sampling, using
Random.org sample population 41/654. The second sampling method
was systematic sampling with sample population 42/654. The entire
population and the systematic graphs are both skewed right, while the
simple random shape is skewed left.

Here are the total numbers generated of each sample by using
StatCrunch:
Entire Population
Population Sample: 654
Mean: 9.933
Median: 10
Standard Deviation: 2.957
IQR: 4
Min: 3, Q1: 7, Med: 10, Q3: 14, Max: 19
Random Sampling
N=41
Mean: 9.756
Median: 10
Standard Deviation: 2.764
IQR: 4
Min: 4, Q1, 8, Med: 10, Q3: 12, Max: 15
Systematic Sampling
N=42
Mean: 9.81
Median: 10
Standard Deviation: 3.046
IQR: 3
Min: 5, Q1: 8, Med: 10, Q3: 11, Max: 19

Random Sampling Technique: Random.Org- Using this number
generating website I started with 1 to 654 and clicked generate 41
times, receiving the 41 random numbers that I recorded in StatCrunch.

Systematic Sampling Technique: I divided 654/42 and calculated 15.57
so I rounded up to 16. Using random.org I generated a random number
from 1 to 16 and from that number I added 16 to every number to
generate my data.
For the fourth part of the assignment I selected a level of
confidence first for the categorical variable for the entire
population using each sample. I also calculated the population
mean of the quantitative sample as well as the standard deviation.
Here is my work shown:

The meaning of the confidence intervals shows that the population of
the gender for the systematic sampling is between .0299<p< .0621 and
for the random sampling its between .0327<p< .0728. By moving the
decimal over twice to the right the numbers become a percentage i.e.
29.9% < 62.1% / 32.7% < 72.8%. The same goes for the results
10
involving the quantitative samples shown above. These results
captured the population parameter as a whole.




Part five I selected a level of confidence by completing a hypothesis test for
the population proportion for my categorical variables using gender. Also
using samples from the quantitative data I completed a hypothesis test for
the population mean using age.
Here is my work shown:

After performing the hypothesis tests, it was interesting to see the
different outcomes between the tests for the population proportion and
the population mean. My results told me to fail to reject the population
proportion while rejecting the null of the population mean. Type l error
is to reject the null hypothesis when it is actually true. In this case, type
1 has occurred with the population mean because the mean of the age is
around 9 years old, while supporting the claim of the true actual
average age.
Extra Credit: I took the age and height of the exhale study data and
entered into StatCrunch to see if there was a correlation. Result- No
correlation because there was no linear correlation and the linear
coefficient is smaller than the critical value.
Equation of regression: y=.547x + 52.695
Linear Coefficient: r=.1638
Critical Value= .444 r=.1645>C.V. .444

Reflection-The exhale study data project and overall math class has
taught me many valuable lessons learned involving statistics. After
completing this project it was very satisfying to take a certain data set
or subject and be able to fully dissect every possible aspect involving the
categorical and quantitative variables involved. The math skills learned
in this class will help in other mathematical classes as well as other
classes involving research and realistic data sets in any situation.
Statistics is a subject that is very useful in everyday life and is a helpful
13
tool for recognizing and analyzing important information. Ill now know
and better understand different concepts involving certain statistical
information or other interesting surveys.
