PSPP Assignment 4 Question 8 & 9


I am needing to know what goes in the factor section. I have the season data in but it will not calulate without something in the factor section..
Posted by      Timika W. at 10:45 AM CST
  Dr. Rebecca Guy  says:
Factor = Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall

Assign numbers to these groups (Winter = 1, Spring = 2, Summer = 3, Fall=4)

Brand A = 1
Brand B = 2
Brand C = 3
Brand D = 4

Assignment 4 question 4


This question has me very confused and bothered. I'm really not sure what the question is asking. I have computed all of the values but I have no idea what to do with them. The previous blogs have me even more confused. This is what I have. I am comparing committee against solitary

H(0): μ c =μ s
H(1): μ c μ μ s
a=.05
t critical (df 10)= ± 2.228
t obtained=

Please help!

Correction H(1): μ c ≠ μ s

Decision: Fail to reject H(0)

Assignment #2 Question 7-1


I'm having trouble computing this to a Z score. I've looked through the chapter and blogs and cannot figure it out!
Posted by      Krista T. at 9:55 PM CST
  Dr. Rebecca Guy  says:
Convert 134 to z form:

z = (134 - 125)/10

Once you have z, read the area in the standard normal curve to the RIGHT of z.

Assignment 4 2-1 & 2-3


I think I'm getting lost in the wording here. And I've read and re-read the sections on sample mean differences and still can not find the answers. Please help!!
Posted by      Ashton R. at 11:43 PM CST
  Dr. Rebecca Guy  says:
2-1. The mean of the sampling distribution of sample mean differences is equal to 0.

2-3. The sampling distribution of sample mean differences has a standard deviation equal to σd. An estimate of this standard deviation is symbolized as sd.

Assg 5: 3-3, 3-4, 3-5


I CANNOT find the answer to these 3 questions! Not even from the previous blogs! Can someone please help me??
Posted by      Amber C. at 8:28 PM CST
  Dr. Rebecca Guy  says:
Assignment 5

3-3. r = .941 which is strong

3-4 Use the regression equation Y' = a + bX and substitute 700 for X (since all raw data in the problem is given in thousands).

Answer: 46.07

3-5 square r or .941^2 = .941 X .941 or .885

Symbols


I tried to do my symbols the way it says to in the blog below, but nothing happens??
Posted by      Kimberly B. at 5:39 PM CST
  Dr. Rebecca Guy  says:
Example:

To get the symbol μ, type the following string of text:

& m u ;

But you MUST TYPE ALL 4 CHARACTERS WITH NO SPACES
Posted on Mon, 6 Feb 2012 10:35 PM CST by Rebecca G.
  Kimberly Burch  says:
I tried this several times and no symobls ever showed up
Posted on Wed, 8 Feb 2012 5:04 PM CST by Kimberly B.
  Dr. Rebecca Guy  says:
Then you must be doing something incorrectly.

Always start with the & character.

Always end with the ; character.

In between these two characters, there will be a string of other characters, for example:

mu
sigma
plusmn

For the above strings, place an & in front and a ; at the end (no spaces).

When you save your work, you will see the symbol displayed correctly.

symbols


I saw the blog posted on how to type greek symbols. How do you put symbols in your journal to answer the questions for assignment 3

  Rickie Hammond  says:
Yes I was having trouble with that myself
Posted on Mon, 6 Feb 2012 12:33 AM CST by Rickie H.
  Dr. Rebecca Guy  says:
The blog explains how to put them into your journal.

Here's how to get them.

Type & s i g m a ; (I've included spaces here to show you the exact string of characters needed BUT NO SPACES when you type it) to get σ. PLEASE NOTE: You MUST include the & and the ;

Type & m u ; (I've included spaces here to show you the exact string of characters needed BUT NO SPACES when you type it) to get μ. PLEASE NOTE: You MUST include the & and the ;

Type & s u m ; (I've included spaces here to show you the exact string of characters needed BUT DO NOT include SPACES when you type it) to get ∑. PLEASE NOTE: You MUST include the & and the ;

In other words, the & and ; are part of the string.

& s i g m a ; (please remove the spaces) = σ

& m u ; (no spaces please) = μ

& s u m ; (no spaces please) = ∑

& a l p h a ; (no spaces please) = α

& n e ; (no spaces please) = ≠

& p l u s m n ; (no spaces please) = ±

  Ashley Higginbottom  says:
I did that on assignment 2 and a question mark and a diamond showed up instead of the symbol.
