Question

1. HIV knowledge in the city of Chicago. In the city of Chicago, for the year 2016, the highest percentages of persons living with HIV/AIDS (PWHA) were found in neighborhoods of “X” (2.2%) and “Y” (1.8%). That same year, the neighborhoods of “A” (0.3%) and “B” (0.3%) were found to have the lowest percentages of PWHA. Suppose a DNP student conducting her capstone project selects a random sample of 10 males (age 21-45 years) each from the four neighborhoods of Chicago and obtains their responses to the HIV-KQ-18 scale (an 18-item questionnaire that assesses HIV transmission knowledge). Data are presented in Table below. The DNP student is interested in determining whether there is any evidence of a difference in knowledge of HIV transmission across the groups of men representing each of the four Chicago neighborhoods.

What type of analysis should be used to answer this question? Why did you choose that type of analysis? Your options are: one sample t-test, one sample z-test, Two sample t-test, chi-square, ANOVA, and paired t-test. Check if the conditions for reliable use of the test are met. [2 points] b. Does the data support the hypothesis that neighborhood is related to HIV knowledge score? Show any Statcrunch output used to answer the question. [2 points] c. Interpret your finding in context. Describe your findings as if you are interpreting it to a lay person (a person not familiar to hypothesis testing). [2 points]

Explanation / Answer

PART A.

One factor ANOVA

PART B.

given data

Null Hypothesis Ho : µ1 =µ2 =µ3 =µ4

Alternative Hypothesis : µ1 µ2 µ3 µ4

Hence Value of |F cal| < |F Crit|and Here We Accept Ho

no evidence of a difference in knowledge of HIV transmission across the groups of men
