The written results

Conclusion: We cannot reject the null hypothesis at the .05 level of confidence because the value t value is -0.393. Therefore we have sufficient evidence to say that males and females know relatively the same amount about CPR. 

ABSTRACT

The question purposed can into question during a life guarding class when students within the class were having trouble remembering the information that was given during and after the classes. This made me wonder if there was a difference between the gender of a person and the knowledge that a person knew about CPR.

 

The test started to take shape when I took a random sample of 120 students at North Olmsted High School. This was gotten through mini tab. Then, we created the survey and passed it back in a hope to avoid response bias and non response bias. The response bias would be the people that wrote crazy answers that was not what so ever related to the topic or didn’t say their gender. The non response would be the 44 people that did not get respond in the survey out of the 120 subjects in the test.

 

The data put into mini tab and complied in a column of six rows each row represents a question that was asked. The one represented a correct answer while a zero would be incorrect. (Each part of the word in the first question counted as one point as well) This is were the information was gathered and put into the a two sample t test where you made all the assumptions about normally distributed and central limit theorem.

 

Then I broke everything apart so make it easy to see for you, the reader. This will help to explain a bit more though. This study was to figure out which gender knew more about CPR. The truth is that even though the mean and the standard deviation is the same in each study people really do not understand CPR to be able to use it successfully. In the answers to the survey their were a lot of random guesses and idk’s. The information was defiantly swayed and it was either you really knew CPR or you had no clue and just got lucky. That is why the numbers were so close together. In both genders there were only two people that got every single part of that survey right. My opinion there would be no way to promises that CPR is known unless a person went through a class and had extensive training and regularly tested to keep skills “fresh” in there minds.

errors within the study!!

In the study there were multiple factors that effected the data. The consist

more errors

I forgot to mention that if you have any questions about the survey that is not explained you should ask because questions are very important in making this a learning thing. I want to learn with you so you should ask!! There are no stupid questions when it comes to learning about a life saving procedure!!!
