Note: as N gets bigger, distributions will approach normal

Next Step

• You think someone is cheating at BLINGOO!

• p = .30 of winning

• You watch a person play 89 games of blingoo and wins 39 times (i.e., 44%).

• Is this significantly bigger than .30 to assume that he is cheating?

Hypothesis

• H1= .44 > .30

• H0= .44 < or equal to .30

• Or

• H1= 39 wins > 26.7 wins

• H0= 39 wins < or equal to 26.7 wins

Distribution

• Mean = 26.7

• SD = 4.32

• X = 39

Z-score

Results

• (39 – 26.7) / 4.32 = 2.85• p = .0021• p < .05

• .44 is significantly bigger than .30. There is reason to believe the person is cheating!

• Or – 39 wins is significantly more than 26.7 wins (which are what is expected due to chance)

BLINGOO Competition

• You and your friend enter at competition with 2,642 other players

• p = .30• You win 57 of the 150 games and your friend won 39.

• Afterward you wonder how many people– A) did better than you?– B) did worse than you?– C) won between 39 and 57 games

• You also wonder how many games you needed to win in order to be in the top 10%

Blingoo

• M = 45• SD = 5.61

• A) did better than you?

• (57 – 45) / 5.61 = 2.14• p = .0162• 2,642 * .0162 = 42.8 or 43 people

Blingoo

• M = 45• SD = 5.61

• A) did worse than you?

• (57 – 45) / 5.61 = 2.14• p = .9838• 2,642 * .9838 = 2,599.2 or 2,599 people

Blingoo

• M = 45• SD = 5.61

• A) won between 39 and 57 games?

• (57 – 45) / 5.61 = 2.14 ; p = .4838• (39 – 45) / 5.61 = -1.07 ; p = .3577 • .4838 + .3577 = .8415• 2,642 * .8415 = 2,223.2 or 2, 223 people

Blingoo

• M = 45• SD = 5.61

• You also wonder how many games you needed to win in order to be in the top 10%

• Z = 1.28• 45 + 5.61 (1.28) = 52.18 games or 52 games

Practice

• In the past you have had a 5% success rate at getting someone to accept a date from you.

• What is the probability that at least 1 of the next 10 people you ask out will accept?

• Note: N isn’t big enough in these problems to use the Z-score formula

Is this difference in proportion due to chance?

• To test this you use a Chi-Square (2)

• Notice you are using nominal data

Hypothesis

• H1: There is a relationship between the two variables– i.e., a persons size is related to if they were

bullied

• H0:The two variables are independent of each other– i.e., there is no relationship between a persons

size and if they were bullied

Logic

• 1) Calculate an observed Chi-square

• 2) Find a critical value

• 3) See if the the observed Chi-square falls in the critical area

E = expected frequency

Significance

• Is a 2 of 9.13 significant at the .05 level?

• To find out you need to know df

Degrees of Freedom

• To determine the degrees of freedom you use the number of rows (R) and the number of columns (C)

• DF = (R - 1)(C - 1)

Degrees of Freedom

• To determine the degrees of freedom you use the number of rows (R) and the number of columns (C)

• df = (R - 1)(C - 1)

• df = (2 - 1)(2 - 1) = 1

Significance

• Look on page 736

• df = 1 = .05

2critical = 3.84

Decision

• Thus, if 2 > than 2critical

– Reject H0, and accept H1

• If 2 < or = to 2critical

– Fail to reject H0

Current Example

2 = 9.13

2critical = 3.84

• Thus, reject H0, and accept H1

Current Example

• H1: There is a relationship between the the two variables– A persons size is significantly (alpha = .05)

related to if they were bullied

Seven Steps for Doing 2

• 1) State the hypothesis

• 2) Create data table

• 3) Find 2 critical

• 4) Calculate the expected frequencies

• 5) Calculate 2

• 6) Decision

• 7) Put answer into words

Example

• With whom do you find it easiest to make friends?

• Subjects were either male and female.• Possible responses were: “opposite sex”,

“same sex”, or “no difference”

• Is there a significant (.05) relationship between the gender of the subject and their response?

Results

Opposite Sex Same Sex No Difference

Females 58 16 63

Males 15 13 40

Step 1: State the Hypothesis

• H1: There is a relationship between gender and with whom a person finds it easiest to make friends

• H0:Gender and with whom a person finds it easiest to make friends are independent of each other

Step 2: Create the Data Table

Step 3: Find 2 critical

• df = (R - 1)(C - 1)

Step 3: Find 2 critical

• df = (R - 1)(C - 1)

• df = (2 - 1)(3 - 1) = 2 = .05

2 critical = 5.99

Step 4: Calculate the Expected Frequencies

• Two steps:

• 4.1) Calculate values

• 4.2) Put values on your data table
