3. In a survey of 100 respondents, the following question was asked: "A couple starting a family this year should plan to have how many children?". The responses to this question are to be examined to see if they bear a relationship to respondents' education/profession. Here are the relevant data: High School College In Business 0-1 Child 26 61 17 2-3 Children 57 38 35 4 or more Children 9 18 14 a. What do you consider to be the independent variable? b. Conduct a relevant test of hypothesis to see if a statistically significant relationship exists between the two variables and summarize your results. Use ? = 0.05.

This is because it is the variable that is being manipulated or controlled by the researchers. To test if there is a statistically significant relationship between the respondents' education/profession and the number of children they plan to have, we can use a Show moreā¦

Researchers wanted to study if couples having children are married. They surveyed a large group of people. The data is shown in the contingency table below. What is the relative risk of being married for those who have children? Round your answer to two decimal places. Married Not Married Total Children 97 68 165 No Children 35 71 106 Total 132 139 271

In a survey, 46,281 women were asked how many children they had. The results were as follows: Number of children: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 or more Number of women: 12,574 7,493 11,282 7,124 3,778 1,811 924 523 772 a) P(sampled woman has exactly 4 children)? _______________________ b) P(Sampled woman has more than 3 children)? ___________________ c) Assume this is a simple random sample of U.S. women. Use the Empirical Method to estimate the probability that a woman has more than seven children. d) Using a cutoff of 0.05, is it unusual for a woman in the survey to have no children?_____________ (Hint: Find the probability the woman has no children.)

āWhat do you think is the ideal number of children for a family to have?ā. In Group A, the 71 women who responded had a mean of 2.65, and standard deviation of 1.09. 1 - Calculate the p-value and test the null hypothesis H0: ?= 2.5 at the significance level ?= 0.05 2 ā in Group B 66 women in the same age range answered 2.9 with standard deviation 1.3. At which level of significance are Group A and Group B similar?
