I need help with 14 and 15 please! I am so confused !
an 12 Blue Suede Release Date 14. Are juvenile defendants who are released pending adjudication processed more slowly than those who are detained? The JDCC data set records whether a juvenile was released and the number of months it took for that juvenile's case to reach a disposition. The sample will be narrowed to black female youth. Released juveniles (Sample 1) had a mean of 4.30 months to disposition (s = 3.86, N= 123) and detained juveniles (Sample 2) had a mean of 3.57 (s = 4.20, N = 64). Using an alpha level of .01, test the hypothesis that released juveniles' mean time-to-adjudication is significantly greater than detained juveniles' mean. Assume equal population variances. Use all five steps. 15. Do juveniles transferred to adult court get treated more, or less, harshly depending on their age? The JDCC data set contains information about juveniles' age at arrest and the sentence length received by those sent to jail pursuant to conviction. Those male juveniles who were younger than 16 at the time of arrest (N = 85) received a mean of 68.84 days in jail (s = 125.59) and those who were older than 16 at arrest (N = 741) had a jail sentence mean of 95.24 days (s = 146.91). Using an alpha level of .05, test the hypothesis that the over-16 group received a significantly longer mean sentence compared to those younger than 16 at the time of arrest. Assume unequal population variances, Use all five steps. 16. One critique of sentencing research is that it generally focuses on the differences between white defendants and defendants of color and rarely examines differences between minority groups. The JDCC data set can be used to test for differences between the sentences received by black and Hispanic juveniles convicted of property crimes. Black juveniles (Sample 1; N = 229) were sentenced to a mean of 31.09 months of probation (s = 15.42), and Hispanic juveniles (Sample 2; N = 118) received a mean of 40.84 months (s = 16.45). Using an alpha level of .01, test the hypothesis that there is a statistically significant difference between the two group means. Assume unequal population variances. Use all five steps.
