 A researcher is interested in the
effect of type of residence who live in
campus dorms, in off-campus
apartments, and at home and asks the
12 respondents to rate their happiness
on a scale of 1 (not happy) to 10
(happy). Test the null hypothesis that
happiness does not differ by type of
residence. Use Scheffe’s Test if
possible.

• To study the gossip of male and female college
students, a researcher unobtrusively sat in the campus
center and listened to students’ conversation. The
researcher was able to categorize the tone of students’
gossip as negative, positive, and neutral. The following
results were obtained: for 125 instances of gossip in
the conversations of female students, 40 were positive,
36 were negative, and 49 were neutral. For 110
instances of gossip in the conversations of male
students, 36 were positive, 32 were negative, and 42
were neutral.
• Which statistical procedure would you apply to
determine whether there is a significant difference
between male and female college students with respect
to the tone of their gossip?
 An urban sociologist is
interested in the relationship
about neighborliness. Thus,
he collected data for a
sample of 25 adults on how

• As an indirect way to study the stress
associated with moving to a new city, data
were collected on what percentage of the
population had moved to the given locale in
the past year and the amount of antacid sold
in that locale. The percentage of the
population that had moved to that particular
locale in the past year and rank of that locale
in antacid sales are presented. Which
statistical procedure would you apply to
determine the degree of association between
the percentage of population who had recently
moved and antacid sales (ranked)?
