1. Statistics Final Project Emily Ishii Statistics Period 1

2. Introduction Surveyed the students, surrounding the topic of pets. I focused on five types of pets: dog, cat, bird, rodent, and fish. Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, all were surveyed because I wanted a variety of age difference. I personally spend a lot of time with my dog. I was curious to see who else may spend the equal amount of time with their pets.

3. Survey I’d replace a fill in the blank years to specific time frames. Add reptiles as a pet option. Eliminate the “other” option.

4. Claims 70% of Bishop Montgomery students own dogs. More females spend 0- 15 minutes with their pets everyday compared to males. Males don’t clean after their pets as much as females do.

5. Claim # 1 57 out of 82 students owned pets. 70% of Bishop Montgomery students own dogs.

6. Testing Claim# 1 70% of Bishop Montgomery students own dogs. H o : p =.7 claim H a : p ≠.7 = 1-PropZTest P 0 :.7 X: 43 N: 57 P=.370 P vs ɑ.370 >.05 Fail to Reject There is not enough evidence to reject the claim that 70% of Bishop Montgomery students own dogs.

7. Claim # 2 More females spend 0-15 minutes with their pets everyday compared to males.

8. Testing Claim # 2 More females spend 0-15 minutes with their pets everyday compared to males. H o : p 1 < p 2 H a : p 1 > p 2 claim = 2-PropTest X 1 : 11 N 1 : 35 X 2 : 11 N 2 : 24 P=.869 P vs ɑ.869 >.05 Fail to reject There is not enough evidence to support the claim that more females spend 0-15 minutes with their pets everyday compared to males.

9. Claim # 3 Males don’t clean after their pets as much as females do.

10. Testing Claim # 3 H o : p 1 > p 2 H a : p 1 < p 2 claim Males don’t clean after their pets as much as females do. = 2-PropTest X 1 : 22 N 1 : 35 X 2 : 17 N 2 : 24 P=.262.262 >.05 P vs ɑ Fail to reject There is not enough evidence to support the claim that males don’t clean after their pets as much as females do.

11. What I’d do Differently… Data Collection  Pass out more surveys for more accurate results.  Survey adults to see if they take better care of their pets compared to students.  Have more specific time selections on the survey instead of the “other” option.  Ask if they daily feed their pets or if someone else feeds the pet. Also ask if the pet is the family’s pet or the students’.

12. Conclusion  All my claims were disproven.  While writing the claims, I thought it would be obvious that females take better care of their pets than males would.  I was definitely shocked about the results, but then again I would survey more students for more accurate result.
