Question: Research shows women harder hit by hangovers" and the accompanying Original Source 2. In the study, 472 men and 758 women, all of whom were college students and alcohol drinkers, were asked about whether they had experienced each of 13 hangover symptoms in the previous year.
One of the statements in the Original Source was "men and women were equally likely to experience at least one of the hangover symptoms in the past year (men: 89%; women: 87%; chi-square statistic = 1.2, p = 0.282)" (Slutske, Piasecki, and Hunt-Carter, 2003, p. 1445).
a. State the null and alternative hypotheses for this result.
b. Given what you have learned in this chapter about how to state conclusions, do you agree with the wording of the conclusion, that men and women were equally likely to experience at least one of the hangover symptoms in the past year? If so, explain how you reached that conclusion. If not, rewrite the conclusion using acceptable wording.
