Answer 1
Null Hypothesis: The average consumption of standard drinks in Australia while the event of the school leaver is considered as a null hypothesis.
Reason: The usage of alcohol along with other drugs at the cele
ations seems to be the reflection of the bigger as compared to the general numbers of hours to drink which are there for consumers.
Alternative Hypothesis: The amount of consumption of drinks every hour is considered as alternative hypothesis.
Reason: At least one outcome was experienced as negative in maximum number of results attributing to alcohol along with the other drug.
Dependent and Independent variables: Number of Males and females are dependent variables for both the hypothesis. Consumption of alcohol is considered as independent variable for both the hypothesis.
Answer 2
The sampling was done using two part survey designed self report methodology. This helped in facilitating bottlenecked survey administration.
Advantages of recruiting participants in such a way:
· Helped in analyzing components separately and individually
· It helped in assessing intentions
· Helped in understanding the scenario at the cele
ation
· Supported both pre-cele
ation as well as post-cele
ation survey
· Individual’s data were incorporated and paired wherever possible
Disadvantages of recruiting participants in such a way:
· Not all participants were able to complete the code of the survey
· Pre and post- events survey were eventually incorporated
· Paired and unpaired respondents were also taken into consideration
Answer 3
The first survey was conducted by young people planning for attending the program (n = 541; 56% women; 91% 17 years and 9% 18 years; 87% private school enrollment). This pre-Cele
ation Interview is available face-to-face online. Half (52%) had been online for two months from the day before the ceremony. Online paperwork was 15.4 minutes [95% CI (14.79, 16.49), n = 215 (sellers removed). The remaining paper surveys visited Rottnest Island on the first day of the festival with five pages. Blank surveys and information were given along the way completing the surveys accumulated when the boat was towed. Post Graduate Survey 405 women (50% women; 94% 17 years and 6% 18 years and over; 92% attended private school. There was availability of second surveys online, with the majority (86%) attending the event on the last day, a team of 27 researchers Interview testing (conducted online face-to-face) was administered by multifactorial analysis, but the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test did not show key differences to predict or report real use of alcohol for all methods.
Descriptive statistics refereed in the report:
That research is made to be analyzed as entities separately - one explores intentions and the other is done in cele
ations. Since the total
oadcasters on the island are 1466, ∼37% was surveyed for the survey which is pre-cele
ated along with 28% for post-event survey. While retrieval is not the best form of research, anonymous code has been created for you in two tools to combine personal data where possible. All participants did not complete the code, and a survey of 120 participants before and after the end of the study was linked (62% women). Due to the relatively small sample size of the sample, the...
