violent events and

events in which violence was avoided that the men were involved in. Each of the sampled men took the Masculinity-Femininity Scale (MFS) test to determine his level of masculinity, based on common male stereotyped traits. MFS scores ranged from 0 to 56 points, with lower scores indicating a more masculine orientation. One goal of the research was to compare the mean MFS scores for two groups of men: those involved in violent events and those who avoided violent events. In a large sample test of hypothesis to compare the two means, the test statistic was computed be z=1.23. Compute the two-tailed p-value of the test. p=????

Explanation / Answer

Two tailed p - value of the test for z = 1.23 will be:

p - value = 2*P(z > 1.23) = 2*0.1093 = 0.2186
