    critical value is a number that separates a region where the null hypothesis will not be rejected from a region where it will be rejected. It is achieved at a particular percentile range and is then determined using a chart, known as the distribution topic.” The equation below states the critical value at 5% significance level: C.95 =21.026 * The .95 is taken from 100%-5%=95% *The 12 is from the degrees of freedom Lastly, I found what conclusion could be drawn regarding the grades achieved on a semester basis and the time spent on a daily basis on social media sites. I used information from stating my null and alternative hypothesis to either accept/reject my null/alternative. I did this through comparing my critical value at 5% and my chi-squared . My outcome is stated below: cal < co (df) = accept the Ho cal > co (df) = reject Ho and accept HI = 54.33 C.95 =21.026…

    The chi square value is then compared to the p-value, which is a critical value gotten from a chart based on the degree of freedom and percent of error which this experiment used as 0.05. If the chi square value was greater than the critical value, the hypothesis would be rejected, meaning there was too much error and observed results were way off from the expected results. However, if the chi square value was less than or equal to the critical value, then the null hypothesis would not be…

    Results In the lab, 478 trials were conducted using a total of 956 crickets. The 478 pairs resulted in 264 wins for the resident cricket and 214 wins for the intruding crickets. These results produced a chi squared value of 5.230. The p-value calculated from this lab was .022. A chi squared value of .022, less than the benchmark of .05 means the data from the lab was significant and statistically rejects the null hypothesis that there was no correlation between residency and aggression…

    White M = 1688.4348, African American M = 1564.6667. The p value (p = .782) is not significant since a significant p value is < .05. Thus there is no significant difference in the mean between white and African American participants accepting the null hypothesis. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test the hypothesis there is a difference in the mean of IV volume infused by ethnicity. A ratio between groups and within groups reflects an F (5, 93) =.211 which is small suggesting there…
