Measurement and Description - chapters 1 and 2 1 The goal this week is to gain an understanding of our data set - what kind of data we are looking at, some d look at how the data is distributed (shape). Measurement issues. Data, even numerically coded variables, can be one of 4 levels nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio. It is important to identify which level a variable is, as this impact the kind of analysis we can do with the data. For example, descriptive statistics such as means can only be done on interval or ratio level data. Please list under each label, the variables in our data set that belong in each group. Nominal Ordinal Interval Ratio b. For each variable that you did not call ratio, why did you make that decision? 2 The first step in analyzing data sets is to find some summary descriptive statistics for key variables. For salary, compa, age, performance rating, and service; find the mean, standard deviation, and range for 3 You can use either the Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics tool or the Fx =average and =stdev functions. (the range must be found using the difference between the =max and =min functions with Fx) functions. Note: Place data to the right, if you use Descriptive statistics, place that to the right as well. Some of the values are completed for you - please finish the table. Salary Compa Age Perf. Rat.

What is the probability for a: Probability a. Randomly selected person being a male in grade E? b. Randomly selected male being in grade E? Note part b is the same as given a male, what is probabilty of being in grade E? c. Why are the results different? A key issue in comparing data sets is to see if they are distributed/shaped the same. We can do this by look some selected values are within each data set - that is how many values are above and below a comparable For each group (overall, females, and males) find: A The value that cuts off the top 1/3 salary value in each group i The z score for this value within each group? ii The normal curve probability of exceeding this score: iii What is the empirical probability of being at or exceeding this salary value?

Week 3 Paired T-test and ANOVA For this week's work, again be sure to state the null and alternate hypotheses and use alpha = 0.05 value in the reject or do not reject decision on the null hypothesis. 1 Many companies consider the grade midpoint to be the "market rate" - the salary needed to hire a n Does the company, on average, pay its existing employees at or above the market rate? Use the data columns at the right to set up the paired data set for the analysis. Null Hypothesis: Alt. Hypothesis: Statistical test to use: What is the p-value: Is P-value < 0.05 (one tail test) or 0.025 (two tail test)? What else needs to be checked on a 1-tail test in order to reject the null?

If the null hypothesis was what the effect size value: meaning of effect size measure: Interpretation of test results: Let's look at some other factors that might influence pay - education(degree) and performance ratings. 2 Last week, we found that average performance ratings do not differ between males and females in Now we need to see if they differ among the grades.
