Introduction
1
1. is the sample biased? Why I or why not?
2. What population is being studied?
For this project you will be using the Blood Alcohol Content Dataset. Here is a
description of the dataset:
How much alcohol can one consume before one’s blood alcohol content (BAC) is
above the legal limit? An undergraduate statistics project conducted at The Ohio
State University in Columbus, Ohio explored the relationship between BAC and
other variables such as amount of alcohol consumed, weight, gender, and age.
The experiment took place in February of 1986 at a student dormitory. Students who
volunteered for the experiment blew into a breathalyzer to indicate that his or her
initial BAC was zero. The number (between 1 and 9) of 12 ounce beers to be drunk
was assigned to each of the subjects by drawing tickets from a bowl. Thirty minutes
after consuming their final beer, students had their BAC measured by a police
officer of the OSU police department. The officer also administered a road sobriety
test before and after the alcohol consumption. This involved performing four simple
tasks, graded on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being a perfect rating), demonstrating
coordination: balancing on one foot, touching the tip of one’s nose with a forefinger,
placing one’s head back with one’s eyes closed, and walking heel to toe. The police
officer was not aware of how much alcohol each subject had consumed.
The following variables are contained in the dataset:
Gender
Weight = weight of each subject in pounds
Beers = number of 12 ounce beers consumed
BAC = blood alcohol content
1ST SOB = combined score on the four road sobriety tests before alcohol
consumption
2ND SOB = combined score on the four road sobriety tests after alcohol consumption
Some of the variables in this dataset are extraneous to the project. It is up to you to
determine which variables to use. There are some questions below that give you the
freedom to choose any variable from the dataset; be sure to use the variable that
makes the most sense.
2
3. Display the following descriptive statistics for one of the numerical variables: mean, standard
deviation, variance, trimmed mean, minimum, maximum, range, number of missing
observations, total number of observations, first quartile, median, third quartile, and interquartile
range.
a. How many observations are in the dataset?
4. Display histograms for Weight, BAC, and 2nd SOB.
5. Characterize the shape of each histogram using all of the following that apply: unimodal,
bimodal, multimodal, symmetric, bell shaped, uniform, right skewed, or left skewed.
6. Display a boxplot for Weight, BAC, and 2nd SOB.
7. Are there any outliers in your boxplots? If yes, give the value(s).
8. Display the counts and percents of how many data values fall into each category.
9. Display a bar graph for the categorical variable.
10. Display a scatterplot of BAC AND 2nd SOB.
11. Display the value of the correlation coefficient between BAC AND 2nd SOB.
3
12. Characterize the linear relationship between the variables as positive or negative; and as weak,
moderate, or strong. Give a reason for your answer.
13. In one display, include a scatterplot of BAC AND 2nd SOB, the graph of the regression line, and
the regression equation.
14. What is the value of the slope of your regression line? Slope =
15. State the specific meaning of the value of the slope of your regression line in the context of your
data.
16. Use the regression equation to make one prediction. That is, for a value of the predictor variable,
calculate the value of the response variable, and enter both values below. Include units of
measure.
17. What is the value of the coefficient of determination, r2, for your data?
18. State the specific meaning of the value of r2 in the context of your data.
19. Is the prediction you made a reasonably good one? Give a reason for your answer.
Value of predictor variable =
Value of response variable =
Show calculation:
r2 =
4
20. Display the descriptive statistics for one of your numerical variables by each value of your
categorical variable.
21. Display comparative boxplots for one of your numerical variables by each value of your
categorical variable.
22. Use the comparative boxplots to discuss the similarities or differences in the medians, the ranges,
and the interquartile ranges.
23. Display a 98% confidence interval for the mean of BAC.
a. Interpret this result in the context of the data.
b. Find the margin of error for this estimate and state its meaning in the context of the data.
c. Does this margin of error seem larger than desirable? What could you do in a future
observational study to decrease the margin of error for this estimate?
24. Suppose I guess that the average BAC of the students was .08. Display a test of the hypotheses
that the mean of the numerical variable equals the value of the guess given to you versus the
alternative that it does not equal this value.
5
a. At the 5% significance level, what is your decision and why?
b. Write a standard interpretation in the context of the data.
25. Display a hypothesis test for a difference between the means of the BAC variable for the two
subpopulations (male/female). You may use a one-tailed test if you explain why you would
anticipate the difference to be in a certain direction. Otherwise, use a two-tailed test.
a. At the 10% significance level, what is your decision and why?
b. Write a standard interpretation in the context of the data.

concept, theory, or insight about globalization

In your response paper, identify an important concept, theory, or insight about globalization that you learned in Steger Chap. 1 and discuss it in relation to the assigned readings by Brownell “Beijing Olympics” and Taylor “North Korean Mass Games.” (maximum 400 words; approximately three paragraphs)
Your response paper prepares you for Wed. Recitation Section, where you will have a chance to talk about your ideas with your classmates.
*The response paper is worth 10 pts. and will be graded based on the following rubric:
1.Response shows good understanding of at least one concept, theory, or insight from Steger Chap. 1 (3 pts.)
2.The concept, theory, or insight is applied appropriately to both assigned readings on East Asia (3 pts.)

Harriet Jacobs’ Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl or Kate Chopin’s The Awakening

Paper instructions
 
Write an essay (~1000 words) in which you provide a close reading and interpretation of a short passage (one paragraph or so) from Harriet Jacobs’ Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl or Kate Chopin’s The Awakening.  You should provide adequate contextualization (i.e. at what point in the narrative does your passage appear?) in order to set up your discussion, and your thesis should make an argument about the significance of the passage in terms of the book as a whole.  You may quote other short passages from the book in order to back up your claims about your major passage.  While you may select any passage from the text, keep in mind that a strong paper should do more than reiterate class discussion; therefore, I’d highly encourage you to choose a passage we have not discussed in class.  Basically, the goal of this assignment is to demonstrate that you can do a careful, patient reading of a key section of a text; this task is the building block for any larger paper.
 
 
 
Your paper will be evaluated primarily according to the following criteria:
 
-Does the paper provide a thesis that sets up the work of the paper and explains the significance of the analysis?
 
-Is the thesis clear, arguable, specific, and original?
 
-Is the interpretation grounded in thorough close readings of individual passages?
 
-Does the paper move beyond summary and description to analysis and interpretation?
 
-Does the paper provide sufficient textual evidence to support its position?
 
-Does the paper integrate quoted and paraphrased material smoothly and effectively?
-Is the paper logically organized, with strong topic sentences and transitions between ideas?
 
-Is the paper stylistically smooth and easy to read, generally free of grammatical or mechanical errors?
 
-Does the paper provide a title that sets up the argument?
 
 
Papers should be typed, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins on all sides.  Use a standard serif 12-pt font (such as Times New Roman).  Consult the MLA Style Guide, available online or in the library, for any questions about grammar and style. Papers should be stapled, with your name and page number on each page.  No plastic cover sheets, please.
 
 
 
Stick to the text; do not consult or cite any outside sources for this paper.  Evidence of doing so will be considered a violation of academic integrity and will result in a failing grade.  If you work with a peer or writing tutor, please ensure that both the phrasing and ideas are legitimately yours.
