Denomination Effect In the article 鈥淭he Denomination Effect鈥 by Priya Raghubir and Joydeep Srivastava, Journal of Consumer Research, Vol. 36, researchers reported results from studies conducted to determine whether people have different spending characteristics when they have larger bills, such as a \(20 bill, instead of smaller bills, such as twenty \)1 bills. In one trial, 89 undergraduate business students from two different colleges were randomly assigned to two different groups. In the 鈥渄ollar bill鈥 group, 46 subjects were given dollar bills; the 鈥渜uarter鈥 group consisted of 43 subjects given quarters. All subjects from both groups were given a choice of keeping the money or buying gum or mints. The article includes the claim that 鈥渕oney in a large denomination is less likely to be spent relative to an equivalent amount in smaller denominations.鈥 Test that claim using a 0.05 significance level with the following sample data from the study.

Short Answer

Expert verified

There is enough evidence to support the claim that money in a large denomination is less likely to be spent relative to the same amount of money in smaller denominations.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The number of people who were given a $1 bill/4 quarters and who spent the money is tabulated along with the individual sample sizes.

02

Hypotheses

It is claimed that money in a large denomination is less likely to be spent relative to the same amount of money in smaller denominations.

Since the given claim does not have an equality sign, the following hypotheses are set up:

Null Hypothesis: The proportion of people who spend the money is equal and does not depend on its denomination.

\({H_0}:{p_1} = {p_2}\)

Alternative Hypothesis: The proportion of people who spend the money when they receive a large denomination ($1 bill) is less than the proportion of people who spend the money when they receive smaller denominations (4 quarters).

\({H_1}:{p_1} < {p_2}\)

The test is left-tailed.

If the absolute value of the test statistic is greater than the critical value, the null hypothesis is rejected.

03

Important values

Let\({\hat p_1}\)denote the sampleproportion of people who received a $1 bill and spent it.

\(\begin{aligned}{c}{{\hat p}_1} &= \frac{{{\rm{Number}}\;{\rm{of}}\;{\rm{people}}}}{{{\rm{Sample}}\;{\rm{size}}}}\\ &= \frac{{{x_1}}}{{{n_1}}}\\ &= \frac{{12}}{{46}}\\ &= 0.261\end{aligned}\)

Let\({\hat p_2}\)denote the sampleproportion of people who received 4 quarters and spent the money.

\(\begin{aligned}{c}{{\hat p}_2} &= \frac{{{\rm{Number}}\;{\rm{of}}\;{\rm{people}}}}{{{\rm{Sample}}\;{\rm{size}}}}\\ &= \frac{{{x_2}}}{{{n_2}}}\\ &= \frac{{27}}{{43}}\\ &= 0.628\end{aligned}\)

\({n_1}\)is equal to 46 and\({n_2}\)is equal to 43.

The value of the pooled sample proportion is computed as follows:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\bar p &= \frac{{{x_1} + {x_2}}}{{{n_1} + {n_2}}}\\ &= \frac{{12 + 27}}{{46 + 43}}\\ &= 0.438\end{aligned}\)

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\bar q &= 1 - \bar p\\ &= 1 - 0.438\\ &= 0.562\end{aligned}\)

04

Compute the test statistic, critical value and p-value

The value of the test statistic is computed below:

\(\begin{aligned} z &= \frac{{\left( {{{\hat p}_1} - {{\hat p}_2}} \right) - \left( {{p_1} - {p_2}} \right)}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{\bar p\bar q}}{{{n_1}}} + \frac{{\bar p\bar q}}{{{n_2}}}} }}\;\;\;\;{\rm{where}}\left( {{p_1} - {p_2}} \right) &= 0\\ &= \frac{{\left( {0.261 - 0.628} \right) - 0}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{\left( {0.438} \right)\left( {0.562} \right)}}{{46}} + \frac{{\left( {0.438} \right)\left( {0.562} \right)}}{{43}}} }}\\ &= - 3.49\end{aligned}\)

Thus, z= 鈥3.49.

Using the standard normal table, the critical value of z corresponding to\(\alpha = 0.05\)for a left-tailed test is equal to 鈥1.645.

The corresponding p-value is equal to 0.0002 which is obtained from the standard normal table using the test statistic (鈥3.49).

Since the absolute z-score value is greater than the critical value and the p-value is less than 0.05, the null hypothesis is rejected.

05

Conclusion

There is enough evidence to support the claim thatmoney in a large denomination is less likely to be spent relative to the same amount of money in smaller denominations.

Testing Laboratory Gloves, The New York Times published an article about a study by Professor Denise Korniewicz, and Johns Hopkins researched subjected laboratory gloves to stress. Among 240 vinyl gloves, 63% leaked viruses; among 240 latex gloves, 7% leaked viruses. See the accompanying display of the Statdisk results. Using a 0.01 significance level, test the claim that vinyl gloves have a greater virus leak rate than latex gloves.

Testing Claims About Proportions. In Exercises 7鈥22, test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim

Question:Headache Treatment In a study of treatments for very painful 鈥渃luster鈥 headaches, 150 patients were treated with oxygen and 148 other patients were given a placebo consisting of ordinary air. Among the 150 patients in the oxygen treatment group, 116 were free from head- aches 15 minutes after treatment. Among the 148 patients given the placebo, 29 were free from headaches 15 minutes after treatment (based on data from 鈥淗igh-Flow Oxygen for Treatment of Cluster Headache,鈥 by Cohen, Burns, and Goads by, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 302, No. 22). We want to use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the oxygen treatment is effective.

a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test.

b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval.

c. Based on the results, is the oxygen treatment effective?

Denomination Effect A trial was conducted with 75 women in China given a 100-yuan bill, while another 75 women in China were given 100 yuan in the form of smaller bills (a 50-yuan bill plus two 20-yuan bills plus two 5-yuan bills). Among those given the single bill, 60 spent some or all of the money. Among those given the smaller bills, 68 spent some or all of the money (based on data from 鈥淭he Denomination Effect,鈥 by Raghubir and Srivastava, Journal of Consumer Research, Vol. 36). We want to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that when given a single large bill, a smaller proportion of women in China spend some or all of the money when compared to the proportion of women in China given the same amount in smaller bills.

a. Test the claim using a hypothesis test.

b. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval.

c. If the significance level is changed to 0.01, does the conclusion change?
