I: SHORT RESPONSEDirections: Please answer each of the following questions thoroughly.1. What is one-way
analysis of variance used for? What are
the requirements for one-way analysis of variance?2. What is two-way
analysis of variance used for? What are
the requirements for two-way analysis of variance?3. What is the main
difference between one-way analysis of variance and two-way analysis of
variance?4. In one-way analysis of
variance tests, do larger test statistics result in larger P-values, smaller
P-values, or P-values that are unrelated to the value of the test statistic?5. What are the advantages
and disadvantages of nonparametric tests?6. Why is the sign test
considered to be a “nonparametric” test of a
“distribution-free” test?7. Assume that matched
pairs of data result in the given number of signs when the value of the second
variable is subtracted from the corresponding value of the first variable. Use
the sign test with a 0.05 significance level to test the null hypothesis of no
difference.a.
Positive signs: 13; negative
signs: 1; ties: 0 (from a preliminary test of the MicroSort method of gender
selection)b.
Positive signs: 5; negative
signs: 7; ties: 1 (from a class project testing for the difference between
reported and measured heights of males)8. In a study of fraternal
twins of different genders, researchers measured the heights of each twin. The
data show that for each matched pair, the height of the male is greater than
the height of his twin sister. What is the value of T?9. Listed below are the
genders of the first 25 subjects listed in Data Set 3 in Appendix B. Use that
sequence to identify the values of n1, n2, and G that
would be used in the runs test for randomness.

II: PROJECTFor
this Module 7 Homework Assignment, please submit your response to the
following:Document your
progress. Who did you interview? How many people did you interview? If you collected data, please submit it
below. If not, please explain what you
did to contribute to this assignment this past week.Directions: This assignment is a course-long project whereby you will work on
the project in each module. You will
turn in your completed project at the end of Module 8.Create a survey question to ask others. The
following are examples or some survey questions:1.
Choose a random number between
1 and 10 inclusive. 2.
What month of the year does
your birthday fall on? Write the numeric
value from 1 to 12.3.
How many keys are in your
possession at this time?4.
How many siblings do you have? In Module 1, you will submit your survey
question to your instructor for approval.
Once you are notified of its approval, you may begin conducting a survey
using your question.You will need at least 25 participants and
will need to keep the following record for each person:a.
Genderb.
Agec.
Date surveyedd.
Survey responsePlease also keep a count, if any, non-willing
participants. For example, if you chose
the first survey question, then you might have the following records:
