A research study was conducted to examine the differences between male and female young adults on perceived life satisfaction. A pilot study was conducted to examine this hypothesis. Ten male and female young adults (between 20 and 30 ) were given a life satisfaction test (known to have high reliability and validity). Scores on the measure range from 0 to 60 with high scores indicative of high life satisfaction, low scores indicative of low life satisfaction. The data are presented below. Compute the appropriate t-test. \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{ Male Young Adults } & \multicolumn{3}{|c|}{ Female Young Adults } \\ \hline \( \mathrm{X}_{1} \) & \( \mathrm{X}_{1}^{2} \) & & \( \mathrm{X}_{2} \) & \( \mathrm{X}_{2}{ }^{2} \) \\ \hline 45 & & & 34 & \\ \hline 38 & & & 22 & \\ \hline 52 & & & 15 & \\ \hline 48 & & & 27 & \\ \hline 25 & & & 37 & \\ \hline 39 & & & 41 & \\ \hline 51 & & & 24 & \\ \hline 46 & & & 19 & \\ \hline 55 & & & 26 & \\ \hline 46 & & & 36 & \\ \hline\( \sum X_{1} \) & \( x_{1}^{2} \) & \( \sum X_{2} \) & & \( \sum X_{2}^{2} \) \\ \hline\( \overline{\mathrm{X}}_{1}= \) & \( \bar{X}_{1}= \) & \( \overline{\mathrm{X}}_{2}= \) & & \( \overline{\mathrm{X}}_{2}^{2}= \) \\ \hline \( \mathrm{n}= \) & & \( \mathrm{n}= \) & & \\ \hline \end{tabular} I.

A study was performed to examine the personal goals of children in grades 4, 5, and 6. A random sample of students was selected from grades 4, 5, and 6 from schools in Indiana. The students received a questionnaire regarding achieving personal goals. They were asked what they would most like to do at school: make good grades, be good at sports, or be popular. Results are presented in the table below by the gender of the children. Suppose we wish to test the null hypothesis that there is no relationship between personal goals and gender. Under the null hypothesis, the expected number for the cell that is "boys who select good in sports" is: makes good grades be popular be good at sports boys 96 32 94 girls 295 45 40 a. 144.2 b. 49.4 c. 28.3 d. 13.5 e. 94.0

Emotional empathy in young adults. According to a theory in psychology, young female adults show more emotional empathy toward others than do males. The Journal of Moral Education (June 2010 ) tested this theory by examining the attitudes of a sample of 30 female college students. Each student completed the Ethic of Care Interview, which consisted of a series of statements on empathy attitudes. For the statement on emotional empathy (e.g., "I often have tender, concerned feelings for people less fortunate than me"), the sample mean response was $3.28 .$ Assume the population standard deviation for females is .5. [Note: Empathy scores ranged from 0 to $4,$ where $0=$ "never" and $4=$ "always".] Suppose it is known that male college students have an average emotional empathy score of $\mu=3$. a. Specify the null and alternative hypotheses for testing whether female college students score higher than 3.0 on the emotional empathy scale. b. Compute the test statistic. c. Find the observed significance level $(p$ -value $)$ of the test. d. At $\alpha=.01,$ what is the appropriate conclusion? e. How small of an $\alpha$ -value can you choose and still have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis?
Dr. Hoffman has created a new test to measure self-esteem. It consists of ten items and each item is rated 1-Disagree, 2-Neutral, or 3-Agree by the test taker. A sample item is “I am able to do many things well.” On every item, "Agree" indicates higher self-esteem. The total score is determined but adding up item scores, and so it can range from 10 to 30. She administers the test to large samples that are representative of the US population and creates the following norms: Mean Std Dev Females, 18-39 15.0 2.5 Males, 18-39 18.0 2.8 Females, 40 and older 11.5 2.5 Males, 40 and older 12.0 2.6 Question one: Assuming that Dr. Hoffman's test is a valid measure of self-esteem, what do these norms tell you about the relationship between gender, age and self-esteem? Question two: Carol, a 50-year-old woman, obtains a score of 14. How would you interpret this score?
