Part I: Name one surprising fact you discovered about any of this week's authors. Why did it surprise you? Part II: Most of the works this week were somewhat specific in terms of location. How might the perspective have changed if the events were placed in a another location ? For instance, lynchings took place in the North, as well as the South. What is the significance of placing "Song for a Dark Girl" in the South? How would the impact have changed without that information? That is only one example. Part III: Although the focus of the week was race and ethnicity, Morrison, Hurston, and Walker present strong female characters. What characteristics do these stories imply are desirable ? Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of any one of these characters . Use examples from the text to support your argument. .

Part A Some questions in Part A require that you access data from Statistics for People Who (Think T hey) Hate Statistics . This data is available on the student website under the Student Text Resources link. Using the data in the file named Ch. 11 Data Set 2, test the research hypothesis at the .05 level of significance that boys raise their hands in class more often than girls. Do this practice problem by hand using a calculator. What is your conclusion regarding the research hypothesis? Remember to first decide whether this is a one- or two-tailed test. Using the same data set (Ch. 11 Data Set 2), test the research hypothesis at the .01 level of significance that there is a difference between boys and girls in the number of times they raise their hands in class. Do this practice problem by hand using a calculator. What is your conclusion regarding the research hypothesis? You used the same data for this problem as for Question 1, but you have a different hypothesis (one is directional and the other is nondirectional). How do the results differ and why? Practice the following problems by hand just to see if you can get the numbers right. Using the following information, calculate the t test statistic. Using the results you got from Question 3 and a level of significance at .05, what are the two-tailed critical values associated with each? Would the null hypothesis be rejected? Using the data in the file named Ch. 11 Data Set 3, test the null hypothesis that urban and rural residents both have the same attitude toward gun control. Use IBM ® SPSS ® software to complete the analysis for this problem. A public health researcher tested the hypothesis that providing new car buyers with child safety seats will also act as an incentive for parents to take other measures to protect their children (such as driving more safely, child-proofing the home, and so on). Dr. L counted all the occurrences of safe behaviors in the cars and homes of the parents who accepted the seats versus those who did not. The findings: a significant difference at the .013 level. Another researcher did exactly the same study; everything was the same—same type of sample, same outcome measures, same car seats, and so on. Dr. R’s results were marginally significant (recall Ch. 9) at the .051 level. Which result do you trust more and why? In the following examples, indicate whether you would perform a t test of independent means or dependent means. Two groups were exposed to different treatment levels for ankle sprains. Which treatment was most effective? A researcher in nursing wanted to know if the recovery of patients was quicker when some received additional in-home care whereas when others received the standard amount. A group of adolescent boys was offered interpersonal skills counseling and then tested in September and May to see if there was any impact on family harmony. One group of adult men was given instructions in reducing their hi.

Part A Some questions in Part A require that you access data from Statistics for People Who (Think T hey) Hate Statistics . This data is available on the student website under the Student Text Resources link. 1. Use the following data to answer Questions 1a and 1b. Total no. of problems correct (out of a possible 20) Attitude toward test taking (out of a possible 100) 17 94 13 73 12 59 15 80 16 93 14 85 16 66 16 79 18 77 19 91 a. Compute the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient by hand and show all your work. b. Construct a scatterplot for these 10 values by hand. Based on the scatterplot, would you predict the correlation to be direct or indirect? Why? 2. Rank the following correlation coefficients on strength of their relationship (list the weakest first): +.71 +.36 –.45 .47 –.62 3. Use IBM ® SPSS ® software to determine the correlation between hours of studying and grade point average for these honor students. Why is the correlation so low? Hours of studying GPA 23 3.95 12 3.90 15 4.00 14 3.76 16 3.97 21 3.89 14 3.66 11 3.91 18 3.80 9 3.89 4. Look at the following table. What type of correlation coefficient would you use to examine the relationship between ethnicity (defined as different categories) and political affiliation? How about club membership (yes or no) and high school GPA? Explain why you selected the answers you did. Level of Measurement and Examples Variable X Variable Y Type of correlation Correlation being computed Nominal (voting preference, such as Republican or Democrat) Nominal (gender, such as male or female) Phi coefficient The correlation between voting preference and gender Nominal (social class, such as high, medium, or low) Ordinal (rank in high school graduating class) Rank biserial coefficient The correlation between social class and rank in high school Nominal (family configuration, such as intact or single parent) Interval (grade point average) Point biserial The correlation between family configuration and grade point average Ordinal (height converted to rank) Ordinal (weight converted to rank) Spearman rank correlation coefficient The correlation between height and weight Interval (number of problems solved) Interval (age in years) Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient The correlation between number of problems solved and the age in years 5. When two variables are correlated (such as strength and running speed), it also means that they are associated with one another. But if they are associated with one another, then why does one not cause the other? 6. Given the following information, use Table B.4 in Appendix B of Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics to determine whether the correlations are significant and how you would interpret the results. a. The correlation between speed and strength for 20 women is .567. Test these results at the .01 level using a one-tailed test. b. The correlation between the number co.

Part I: Describe the homeless narrator. What does Jackson Jackson mean when he says that he's been "disappearing" slowly but surely, "piece by piece"? Compare those lines with the closing lines (breathtaking in their beautiful imagery) when Jackson says, "They all watched me dance with my grandmother. I was my grandmother, dancing." (Sherman Alexie- “What You Pawn I Will Redeem”) Part II: Although the setting is Boston, we are exposed to Indian culture and values in Jhumpa Lahiri's "The Third and Final Continent." To what extent is the story about social and cultural differences--their reconcilability or irreconcilability? To what extent is the story about love, compatibility, disappointment, endurance, hope, against all odds? (Jhumpa Lahiri- “The Third and Final Continent”) Part III: Optional Extra Story/Response: After reading Native American author Louise Erdrich's short story "The Shawl" , consider how it is possible that children can re-envision and actually rewrite the history of their parents to create an opportunity for healing old wounds. This story tends to elicit an emotional response from readers. If you're one of them, share your experience after reading it. Please post no fewer than 300 words making sure to balance your answers to the separate parts. You should use quotations to support your points, but they should not dominate your posts. .
