I thought being in an Humanities & Social Sciences faculty, being in Sociology, would steer me far far away from the presence of mathematical numbers. I thought JC was the last time I would deal with Mathematics. How naive! My Statistics module put the Science back in the Social Science! What I TRIED to figure out on Sunday night for my Stats mid-term quiz...*shivers* Solution for Homework 6! Step1: State hypothesis H0: Pu = 0.09 (H1: Pu > 0.09) Step2: Sampling distribution is Z distribution As a convention, we use α = 0.05, one-tailed test Z (critical) = +1.65 Step 3: Calculating the test statistic: Z (obtained) = =10.88 Step 4: Because Z (obtained) falls into the critical region, we reject the null hypothesis. Hence, the high school in question has significantly more Indian students than the rest of high schools. Okay, so I am not good and I screwed up this mid-term quiz :( But I must and WILL conquer Statistics... in my April exams! Studying on Sunday night didn't help my Quiz because my thoughts were aplenty. I thought of "L: Change The World" and the morals behind it. Oh by the way, many thanks to Deren for his generous treat to the cell group on Sunday! Hmm.. Jonathan likes Saboteur. I also wondered about my 21st Birthday and what the pastor said during 2040 sermon. This could be the chance! But where can I get a function room big enough for all my family and friends? With such thoughts on Sunday night, how to study?!! |
