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 descriptive measurse, and a 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 ID Degree Perf. Rat. Salary Gender Grade Compa Gender 1 Age Midpoint Service b. For each variable that you did not call ratio, why did you make that decision? For Nominal, the ID Gender and Gender 1 are labels with no actual order to them For Ordinal, the Degree and Grade are rank ordered labels without a fixed differeance between levels For Interval, the Pref Rat. is done once than a break in the activity before completed again. It has no fixed 0 point, but differences are the same between values. 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 groups: overall sample, Females, and Males. 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.

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? 4 5. A key issue in comparing data sets is to see if they are distributed/shaped the same. We can do this by looking at some measures of where some selected values are within each data set - that is how many values are above and below a comparable value. For each group (overall, females, and males) find: Overall Female Male A The value that cuts off the top 1/3 salary value in each group 59.1667 41.3000 62.9000 "=large" function i The z score for this value within each group? 0.7364 0.1666 0.6254 Excel's standize function ii The normal curve probability of exceeding this score: 0.9894 0.9800 0.9981 1-normsdist function iii What is the empirical probability of being at or exceeding this salary value? B The value that cuts off the top 1/3 compa value in each group. 1.1077 1.1200 1.1070 i The z score for this value within each group? 0.5447 0.6145 0.6179 ii The normal curve probability of exceeding this score: 1.0000 1.0000 1.0000 iii What is the empirical probability of being at or exceeding this compa value? C How do you interpret the relationship between the data sets? What do they mean about our equal pay for equal work question? What conclusions can you make about the issue of male and female pay equality? Are all of the results consistent? What is the difference between the sal and compa measures of pay? Conclusions from looking at salary results: Men are generally paid higher Conclusions from looking at compa results: The male and female compa results look closer to each other. Slightly higher for the female Do both salary measures show the same results? No they do not. Can we make any conclusions about equal pay for equal work yet? Females are still not making the same amount as their male counterparts.

In the first 4 questions use alpha = 0.05 in making your decisions on rejecting or not rejecting the null hypothesis. Below are 2 one-sample t-tests comparing male and female average salaries to the overall sample mean. (Note: a one-sample t-test in Excel can be performed by selecting the 2-sample unequal variance t-test and making the second variable = Ho value - a Note: These values are not the same as the data the assignment uses. The purpose is to analyze the results of t-tests rather than directly answer our eq Based on these results, how do you interpret the results and what do these results suggest about the population means for male and female average sal Males Ho: Mean salary = Ha: Mean salary =/= Females Ho: Mean salary = Ha: Mean salary =/= 45.00 45.00 45.00 45.00 Note: While the results both below are actually from Excel's t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Unequal Variances, having no variance in the Ho variable makes the calculations default to the one-sample t-test outcome - we are tricking Excel into doing a one sample Male Ho Female Ho Mean 52 45 Mean 38 45 Variance 316 0 Variance 334.66667 0 Observations 25 25 Observations 25 25 Hypothesized Mean D 0 Hypothesized Mean D 0 df 24 df 24 t Stat 1.9689038266 t Stat -1.913206 P(T<=t) one-tail 0.0303078503 P(T<=t) one-tail 0.0338621 t Critical one-tail 1.7108820799 t Critical one-tail 1.7108821 P(T<=t) two-tail 0.0606157006 P(T<=t) two-tail 0.0677242 t Critical two-tail 2.0638985616 Conclusion: Do not reject Ho; mean equals 45 t Critical two-tail 2.0638986 Conclusion: Do not reject Ho; mean equals 45 Note: the Female results are done for you, please complete the male results.

Below is a regression analysis for salary being predicted/explained by the other variables in our sample (Midpoint, age, performance rating, service, gender, and degree variables.
