Question

QUESTION 5

1. Indicate the statistical test you would conduct.

   Respondents in a survey of 1,000 households were asked about their travel history. Specifically, they were asked how often they have been to Europe in the past five years (using a ratio scale). People were also classified by interest type (art-lovers, food-lovers, or sports-lovers). The question is whether interest type influences travel history.

   		Two-sample t-test
   		Paired sample t-test
   		One-way ANOVA
   		none of those

QUESTION 6

1. What is the corresponing alternative hypothesis for the scenario in question #5?

   		The three interest types do not differ with regard to the number of times they have been to Europe in the last five years.
   		The number of times people have been to Europe does not depend on interest type.
   		Interest type and travel to Europe are not related.
   		The three interest types differ with regard to the number of times they have been to Europe in the last five years.

Answer 1

Q. 5) Since the respondents are classified by their interests as art lovers, food lovers and sports lovers, we have 3 different groups. We need to check whether the travel history depends on their interest type. In this case we use ANOVA. We will set up a hypothesis test to test that the travel history (that is the number of visits to Europe) is same for the respondents for all the 3 groups.

Q. 6) Alternative hypothesis will be that the three interest types differ with regard to the number of times they have been to Europe in the last 5 years.
