Chapter 1: Intro to Stats
Question 1: A psychology professor is interested in the tweeting habits of college freshman at ECU. If the professor measures the number of tweets that each freshman in her classes sends each day and calculates the average number for all of her classes, the average number would be an example of a ________.

Chapter 1: Intro to Stats
Question 1 Answer: The average would be an example of a statistic because the
professor conducted her research using a sample (the freshman in her classes, not the entire freshman class at ECU).
![Page 4: COURSE: JUST 3900 INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE Test Review: Ch. 1-3 Peer Tutor Slides Instructor: Mr. Ethan W. Cooper, Lead Tutor © 2013.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c8c5503460f94946765/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Question 2: A researcher wants to know the relationship between gender and cell phone preference. He uses surveys asking men and women which they prefer: texting or calling. Is this an example of an experiment? Why or why not?
![Page 5: COURSE: JUST 3900 INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE Test Review: Ch. 1-3 Peer Tutor Slides Instructor: Mr. Ethan W. Cooper, Lead Tutor © 2013.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c8c5503460f94946765/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Chapter 1: Intro to Stats
Question 2 Answer: This would not be an example of an experiment because the
researcher did not manipulate any variables; he simply observed the difference between the cell phone usage of men and women. This study would be correlational or nonexperimental.
![Page 6: COURSE: JUST 3900 INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE Test Review: Ch. 1-3 Peer Tutor Slides Instructor: Mr. Ethan W. Cooper, Lead Tutor © 2013.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c8c5503460f94946765/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Chapter 1: Intro to Stats
Question 3: Suppose a researcher wanted to know the relationship between cell phone preference (texting or calling) and type of phone (flip phone or smart phone). To accomplish this he designs an experiment in which there are 2 groups. One group is issued iphones, while the other is issued flip phones. The researcher then records every call and text for a month to determine whether the type of phone influences cell phone preference. Identify the independent and dependent variables for this study.
![Page 7: COURSE: JUST 3900 INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE Test Review: Ch. 1-3 Peer Tutor Slides Instructor: Mr. Ethan W. Cooper, Lead Tutor © 2013.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c8c5503460f94946765/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Chapter 1: Intro to Stats
Question 3 Answer: The independent variable is the type of phone. This is the
variable that the researcher is manipulating; it affects the outcome of the dependent variable.
The dependent variable is cell phone preference. We expect the independent variable (type of phone) to have an effect on the dependent variable (cell phone preference).

Question 4: A survey asks students to identify their gender, age, and GPA. For each of these three variables, identify the scale of measurement that probably is used and identify whether the variable is discrete of continuous.
![Page 9: COURSE: JUST 3900 INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE Test Review: Ch. 1-3 Peer Tutor Slides Instructor: Mr. Ethan W. Cooper, Lead Tutor © 2013.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c8c5503460f94946765/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Chapter 1: Intro to Stats
Question 4 Answer: Gender is measured on a nominal scale and is discrete. Age
and GPA are measured on ratio scales and are both continuous variables.

Chapter 1: Intro to Stats
Question 5: When measuring weight to the nearest half pounds, what are the real limits for a score of 150 lbs?
Hint: The question wording here is slightly different than the way real limits are discussed in class, but the approach to calculating real limits is the same. In class, weight was discussed as being measured in whole pounds and real limits are calculated based upon half intervals above and below any given point in the weight scale. Thus, the real limits for a score of 150 pounds measured in whole pounds would be 145.5 to 150.5 (this is how you did this in class). Question #5 as written above in this slide indicates that weight was measured to the nearest half pound. This changes the calculation of real limits. Try to answer this yourself and then review the answer on the next slide to see if you answered this correctly.

Chapter 2: Frequency Distributions
Question 2 Answer: We want 9 intervals with a width of 5. Remember the guidelines on pp. 42 and 43. For a grouped
frequency distribution, we want about 10 intervals. Also, we want our interval width to be a simple number.
A width of 2 gives us 21 rows (too many) A width of 5 gives us 9 rows (OK) A width of 10 gives us 5 rows (too few)

Question 3: What are the differences between histograms and a bar graphs?
![Page 21: COURSE: JUST 3900 INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE Test Review: Ch. 1-3 Peer Tutor Slides Instructor: Mr. Ethan W. Cooper, Lead Tutor © 2013.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c8c5503460f94946765/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Chapter 2: Frequency Distributions
Question 3 Answer: Histograms are used for interval and ratio data, while bar graphs
are used for nominal or ordinal data. Bar graphs have space between the bars because they
represent discrete variables. Histograms have no space between the bars because they
represent continuous variables.

Question 5: Find the 80th percentile.
![Page 25: COURSE: JUST 3900 INTRODUCTORY STATISTICS FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE Test Review: Ch. 1-3 Peer Tutor Slides Instructor: Mr. Ethan W. Cooper, Lead Tutor © 2013.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062712/56649c8c5503460f94946765/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Chapter 2: Frequency Distributions
Question 5 Answer: Step 1: Find the width of the interval on both scales
5 and 25 points, respectively Step 2: Locate position of intermediate value
80% is located 15 points from top (15/25 = 3/5 of interval) Step 3: Use same fraction to determine corresponding position
on other scale. First, determine the distance from the top of the interval
Distance = Fraction x Width = (3/5) * (5 points) = 3 Points Step 4: Use distance from top to determine the position on the
other scale 19.5 – 3 = 16.5 Thus, the 80th percentile for X is 16.5.
