The battle of the sexes lives on still today. Since admission standards do not address gender whatsoever, there should be an equally diverse group of men and women in school, but do they perform equally well. Using the sample of 200 students, conduct a hypothesis test for two independent samples to determine if the mean GPA differs for men and women. Use a .05 significance level.

Use the Student_Data which consists of 200 MBA students at Whatsamattu U. It includes variables regarding their age, gender, major, GPA, Bachelors GPA, course load, English speaking status, family, and weekly hours spent studying.
1. The battle of the sexes lives on still today. Since admission standards do not address gender whatsoever, there should be an equally diverse group of men and women in school, but do they perform equally well. Using the sample of 200 students, conduct a hypothesis test for two independent samples to determine if the mean GPA differs for men and women. Use a .05 significance level.
2. Can a student keep up their grade performance at the next level? Is a strong GPA at the Bachelors level a good predictor of a strong GPA at the Masters level, or are GPAs naturally going to decline since graduate school is tougher, or will GPAs automatically be higher in graduate school because of the 3.00 requirement to graduate and the treatment of a C as subpar instead of average? Using the sample of 200 students (in the data file), conduct a hypothesis test for paired samples and test if there is a difference in the mean GPA from the Bachelors to the Masters programs. Use a .05 significance level.
3. Given the reasons why people get their Masters, you surmise that men are more likely to declare a major than women. Using the sample of 200 students (in the data file), conduct a hypothesis test of proportions to determine if the proportion of women with “no major” is greater than the proportion of men with “no major”. Use a .05 significance level.
4. You have probably heard that if you want something done, give it to a busy person. So is one’s employment status a factor in their academic performance? Using the sample of 200 students (in the data file), conduct a hypothesis test using Analysis of Variance to determine if there is a difference in the mean GPA for those who are unemployed vs. work part-time vs. work full-time.

Describe your philosophy on discipline in relation to coaching athletics. How does discipline play a role in coaching? Do you have a high number of specific rules or a low number general rules that cover a variety of areas? Do you prefer to punish the entire team for one players mistake or do you prefer to discipline the individual player?

 
One  of the toughest aspects of coaching is dealing with discipline issues.  It occurs at all levels (recreation, middle school, high school,  college, and professional). Disciplining players is a fine line, to say  the least. How a coach disciplines their team can determine the  character of the team and possibly success or failure.
Describe  your philosophy on discipline in relation to coaching athletics. How  does discipline play a role in coaching? Do you have a high number of  specific rules or a low number general rules that cover a variety of  areas? Do you prefer to punish the entire team for one player's mistake  or do you prefer to discipline the individual player? What areas of  behavior, both on and off the field, should be included in team rules?  How should a coach handle athletes who break team rules? What should the  consequences be for rule violations? Describe both positive and  negative approaches to disciplining players and the implications of  both. Explain your answers clearly and provide examples where  appropriate.
