Subject:StatisticsPrice: Bought3
Reconsider the study mentioned in the previous exercise about guessing the size of Milwaukee's population. Do the data provide evidence of the anchoring phenomenon among students like the ones in this study? That is, our research question is: On average, will students like the ones in the study tend to guess a higher population size for Milwaukee if they are told about Chicago's population size rather than told Green Bay's population size?
Recall that the data set is titled Milwaukee and that the first column contains the city mentioned to subjects and the second column contains the guesses for the population of Milwaukee (in thousands, to the nearest thousand).
Use an appropriate randomization-based applet to find a p-value to test whether there is strong evidence of the anchoring phenomenon among students like the ones in this study. Report and interpret the p-value in the context of the study.
Use the p-value to indicate the strength of evidence against the null hypothesis.
Calculate an appropriate standardized statistic and interpret the standardized statistic in the context of the study. (Tintle 368-369)
