Sex partners A recent General Social Survey asked female respondents, "How many sex partners have you had in the last 12 months?" Of the 365 respondents, 102 said 0 partners, 233 said 1 partner, 18 said 2 partners, 9 said 3 partners, 2 said 4 partners, and 1 said 5 partners. (Source: Data from CSM, UC Berkeley.) a. Display the data in a table. Explain why the median is $1 .$ b. Show that the mean is 0.85 . c. Suppose the 102 women who answered 0 instead had answered 5 partners. Show that the median would still be 1. (The mean would increase to 2.2 . The mean uses the numerical values of the observations, not just their ordering.)

A massive survey of sexual attitudes and behavior in Britain between 1999 and 2001 contacted 16,998 households and interviewed 11,161 respondents aged 16–44 years (one per responding household). The frequency distributions of ages of men and women respondents were the same. The following results were reported on the number of heterosexual partners individuals had had over the previous five-year period (Johnson et al. 2001). Sample size, n Men: 4620 Women: 6228 Mean Men: 3.8 Women: 2.4 Standard deviation Men: 6.7 Women: 4.6 a. What is the standard error of the mean in men? What is it in women? Assume that the sampling was random. b. Which is a better descriptor of the variation among men in the number of sexual partners, the standard deviation or the standard error? Why? c. Which is a better descriptor of uncertainty in the estimated mean number of partners in women, the standard deviation or the standard error? Why? d. A mysterious result of the study is the discrepancy between the mean number of partners of heterosexual men and women. If each sex obtains its partners from the other sex, then the true mean number of heterosexual partners should be identical. Considering aspects of the study design, suggest an explanation for the discrepancy.

Ana Carolina D.

In a classic study, men and women rated the importance of physical attractiveness in both a short-term mate and a long-term mate (Buss & Schmitt, 1993). The means and standard deviations are as follows. Write a clear sentence or two for each. Men / Short Term: M = 5.67, SD = 2.34; Men / Long Term: M = 4.43, SD = 2.11; Women / Short Term: M = 5.67, SD = 2.48; Women / Long Term: M = 4.22, SD = 1.98. Present these results (a) in writing.

Transcript

00:01 So we have a total of 365 respondents, and they were asked how many sexual partners they'd had in the past 12 months.

00:12 And then our answers were the x's with the frequency of, let's see here, for 0 we had 102.

00:22 For the answer 1 we had 233.

00:27 For the answer 2 we had 18.

00:31 For the answer 3 we had 9.

00:36 For the answer 4 we had 2.

00:39 And for the answer 5 we had 1.

00:45 So here is your data, and then the median is going to be the middle value of the ordered data.

00:57 So that is going to be 365 divided by 2 is 182 .5.

01:10 So there's going to be 182 below and 182 above, or 183 above and below...
