Question:
Reconsider the data from Singer et al.’s study about whether incentives improve response rates on telephone surveys.
a. Use an appropriate randomization-based applet to find a p-value. Report and interpret the p-value in the context of the study.
b. Based on this p-value, how much evidence do you have against the null hypothesis?
c. Calculate an appropriate standardized statistic and interpret the standardized statistic in the context of the study.
d. Do the p-value and standardized statistic both lead you to the same conclusion?
e. Use the 2SD method to find a 95% confidence interval for the parameter of interest. Report this interval and interpret the interval in the context of the study.
f. Is your conclusion from using either the p-value or the standardized statistic consistent with your finding from the 95% confidence interval? How are you deciding?
g. State a complete conclusion about this study, including significance, estimation (confidence interval), causation, and generalization. Be sure to explain how you are arriving at your conclusion.
