Some of the questions require you to analyse the unique assignment data setwhich I have created for you. This is labelled ‘dataforxxxxxxxx.RData’ wherexxxxxxxx represents your Student ID number. You can find this with yourAssessmentmaterialsinvUWS. Pleasealso locate andread ‘Description of your data set.docx’.
Note: Each student will get different answers as the data sets differ.
Question 1(5 marks)
Consider the University of EasternSydney data set assigned to you.
a.Explain why course of study (course) is a categorical variable. (1 mark)
b.Explain why mental well-beingscore(WEMWBS) is a numeric variable. (1 mark)
c.Using the University of Eastern Sydney data set assigned to you and R Commander, produce a boxplot of the relationship between course of study (course) and mental well-beingscore(WEMWBS). Your chart should include descriptive axis labels. (1 mark)
d.Does the chart in c. show any evidence that mental well-being (WEMWBS)score differs according to course of study? Explain why or why not. (2 mark)
Question 2 (5 marks)
a.Using theUniversity of Eastern Sydney data set assigned to you and R Commander, tabulate the relationship betweengender (sex) and the course of study (course).Your table should include descriptive labels.(1 mark)
b.Using row or column percentages describe the relationship betweengender and course of study. (2 marks)
c.Using conditional probabilities explain whygender and course of study are not independent.Hint: Youonly need to show independence in one the four courses of study.(2 marks)
Question 3 (5 marks)
a.Using the University of Eastern Sydney data set assigned to you and R Commander, draw an appropriate graph of self-reported alcohol consumption per week (alc). (Don’t forget to provide meaningful labels on your axes). (1 mark)
b.Describe the shape of this distribution of self-reported alcohol consumption. Include appropriate numerical measures(statistics)of shape in your description. (2marks)
c.Using appropriate statistics describe the centre and spread of the distribution of the students’ self-reported average alcohol consumption. You must differentiate which result(s) apply to centre and which apply to spread.(2 marks)
Question 4(4 marks)
a.Using the University of Eastern Sydney data set assigned to you and R Commander, graph the relationship between the logarithm transformed self reported alcohol consumption (logalc) and mental wellbeing (WEMWBS)score. (1 mark)
b.Describe in words the relationship betweenlog alcohol consumption per weekand mental well-being (WEMWBS) scorein this data set. (3 marks)
Question 5(3 marks)
In Ireland,Davoren et el(2015) report that that 65.2% of male University students self-reported alcohol consumption levels which are classified as hazardous.
A random sample of30 Australian maleuniversity studentswereinterviewed about their alcohol consumption.
a.If Australianmaleuniversity student do not differ fromthe Irishmale university students, what is the probability that our random sample of30Australianmalestudents will contain 15 orless students withhazardous alcohol consumption levels? (1 mark)
b.If Australianmaleuniversity students do not differ fromthe Irish male university students, we would predict 25% of all samples to contain fewer than how many students with hazardous alcohol consumption? (1 mark)
c.If Australian male university students do not differ from the Irish male university students, estimate the mean number ofstudents with hazardous alcohol consumption per sample of size 30 males? Show any working.(1 mark)
Question6(4 marks)
a.If the averageWEMWBS mental well-being score for University students is Normally distributed with a mean of 44and standard deviation of4,what is the rangeof WEMWBS values which contains the middle 95% of University students? (1 mark)
b.Using the information about the distribution ofWEMWBS scores in a.and R Commander,what percentage ofUniversity studentsscoregreater than50 on the WEMWBS? (1 mark)
c.Suppose the mental well-being of four randomly chosen students was measured using the WEMWBS. Using the Central Limit Theorem and the information in part a. to estimate the probability that the mean score from these 4 students is greater than 60. Show any working. (2 marks)
Question 7 (4 marks)
a.A reportclaimsthat 12% ofWestern Sydney Universitystudents are aged less than 20 years and 16% are 20 or more years of age. Is this information sufficient for you to determine the probability that a randomly selected Western Sydney University student will be less than 20 years of age? Explain why or why not. (2 marks)
b.Suppose particular measures of depression and anxietyareboth Normally distributed with high scores indicating more severe disease. Suppose a student has a Z-score of -0.2 on the measure of depression and a Z-score of0.4 on the measure ofanxiety.Based on this informationdo you expect this student is likely to need treatment for depression, anxiety, both anxiety and depression or neither anxiety nor depression?Explain your answer.
