Question

As part of the study on ongoing fright symptoms due to exposure to horror movies at a young age, the following table was presented to describe the lasting impact these movies have had during bedtime and waking life:

(a) What percent of the students have lasting waking-life symptoms? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
1 %

(b) What percent of the students have both waking-life and bedtime symptoms? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
2 %

(c) Test whether there is an association between waking-life and bedtime symptoms. State the null and alternative hypotheses. (Use = 0.01.)

Null Hypothesis:

H0: There is no relationship between waking and bedtime symptoms.H0: Bedtime symptoms cause waking symptoms.    H0: Waking symptoms cause bedtime symptoms.H0: There is a relationship between waking and bedtime symptoms.


Alternative Hypothesis:

Ha: There is a relationship between waking and bedtime symptoms.Ha: There is no relationship between waking and bedtime symptoms.    Ha: Bedtime symptoms cause waking symptoms.Ha: Waking symptoms cause bedtime symptoms.


State the 2 statistic and the P-value. (Round your answers for 2 and the P-value to three decimal places.)


Conclusion:

We have enough evidence to conclude that there is a relationship.We do not have enough evidence to conclude that there is a relationship.

Explanation / Answer

The Obswerved and expected tables are as below. Each Value of the expected cell = Row Total*Column Total/N. N = 119.

(a) What percent of the students have lasting waking-life symptoms? There are 68 students out of 119 who exhibit this symptom (36+32). The % = (68/119) * 100 = 57.14%

(b) What percent of the students have both waking-life and bedtime symptoms? There are 36 students in this category out of 119. The % = (36/119) * 100 = 30.25%

(c) The Hypothesis:

H0: There is no relationship between waking and bedtime symptoms.

Ha: There is a relationship between waking and bedtime symptoms.

The Test Statistic: The table below gives the calculation of 2.

2test = 2.267

The degrees of freedom for a 2 x 2 table = 1

The P value for 2test = 2.267, df = 1 is 0.132

The 2critical value for = 0.01, df = 1 is 6.635

Decision Rule: If 2test is > 2critical, then Reject H0.

Decision: Since 2observed (2.267) is < 2critical (6.635), we fail to reject H0.

Conclusion: We do not have enough evidence to conclude that there is a relationship.
