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.

USEFUL NOTES FOR
The battle of the sexes lives on still today.
Introduction
The battle of the sexes lives on, even though it’s not as clear-cut as it might have been in our parents’ generation. The current status of men and women in society today is a very different world than that of the 1950s and 60s when this war was fought. We are all guilty of holding onto old habits from those days, but we also know how to handle ourselves in this new era. So let’s take a look at how things changed over time!
When was the first “battle of the sexes” and how did it start?
The first battle of the sexes was held in 1973, when Billie Jean King challenged Bobby Riggs to a match. It was held at the Astrodome in Houston, Texas and televised by CBS News. More than 90 million people watched.
The match between King and Riggs lasted five sets before King won 6-4 6-3 9-7 (there were no tiebreakers). King said afterward that she felt like she was playing against herself because both women came from the same background: “I’m not sure how much I should say about this but I saw myself as a girl who grew up on Long Island.”
What was the first battle of the sexes?
The first battle of the sexes in tennis was between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. The match took place on August 18, 1973, at the Houston Racquet Club in Texas. Bobby Riggs was a former tennis champion who challenged women to play him in a match under his name; he had also previously been banned from Wimbledon for making racist remarks about African-Americans and Asians playing against white players on their home turf.
King accepted this challenge, but she didn’t prepare physically or mentally for it—and so she lost easily by losing 6–2 6–1 6–1 (with one game unfinished). In fact, during their second match later that year at another tournament called “The Battle of Champions” (which featured many other female competitors), King got hurt again when she accidentally fell over some equipment while warming up before serving balls into an empty net!
A tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs.
The match was a tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. It took place in 1973 at the Houston Astrodome, which can be considered as one of the most memorable sports venues ever built.
The second battle.
The second battle was in 1973 and it pitted Margaret Court against Evonne Goolagong. The winner of this match was Margaret Court, who defeated Evonne Goolagong 6-1 in the fifth set to become one of the greatest female players ever.
The third battle occurred just two years later on August 1993 at Wimbledon. Monica Seles defeated Steffi Graf 6-3 6-3 6-2 becoming only the 2nd player ever to win both Wimbledon titles along with Roland Garros & Australian Open at age 19!
The 2nd battle of the sexes in tennis.
The second battle of the sexes was actually fought in tennis. In 1973, Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs in one of the most famous matches in sports history. At age 24 and with more than 100 career wins to her name, she was the best female player on earth at that time.
But unlike other sports where women were allowed to compete against each other (such as basketball and football), there were no rules for women’s tennis competitions until 1978 when Pete Sampras won his first Grand Slam tournament (the Australian Open).
The 3rd battle of the sexes?
The third battle of the sexes took place in 1973, when Bobby Riggs (55 years old) and Billie Jean King (29 years old) played one of their most famous matches. In it, they were pitted against each other on court as part of a tennis exhibition called “Battle of the Sexes.”
Riggs was known for being an aggressive player who loved to take risks on the court—and he certainly showed that in this match against King. He was also notorious for claiming that women weren’t good at sports because they lacked physical strength and stamina; so when he faced off against one of America’s greatest female athletes, it seemed like an obvious mismatch going into things.
How did the third battle of the sexes go?
The third battle of the sexes was fought in 1968 and Bobby Riggs, who had been defeated by Billie Jean King in their first match, was back to challenge her again. They met on a tennis court at Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas.
Riggs won the match 6-2 3-6 6-4 but his victory did not come easily as he had to fight hard through all four sets and almost fell from his chair when he lost the fifth set 6-3. After winning this round tiebreaker it seemed that King would never play him again – but something else happened!
Billie Jean King decided that she would only play with Bobby Riggs if he changed his ways towards women (and vice versa). She said: “I’m sorry I lost before showing you how strong our partnership could be.”
The battle today.
The battle of the sexes, it seems, is still waged. The sexes are still at odds when it comes to issues such as family planning, the workplace and even home life. This is true in much of the world today. In fact, one might think that gender equality has been achieved in many parts of the world—but this isn’t so much true anymore than it was before feminism rose to prominence (or “came into being,” depending on your perspective).What is the current status for men and women in society today?
The status of women in society is still a contentious issue. While there are many women who have reached the top positions and achieved success, there are also many who struggle with gender bias. For example, research has shown that women are paid less than men even though they do comparable work. This can be seen when comparing the average starting salary for male doctors and female nurses at graduation from medical school; both groups have an average salary around $89K per year but male doctors earn significantly more than their female counterparts ($102K vs $72K).
This wage gap has been attributed to a variety of factors including discrimination against women in hiring practices; employers’ preference towards hiring men over equally qualified women based on stereotypes about gender roles; lack of support mechanisms such as parental leave policies that increase productivity while decreasing turnover rates among employees—all things considered though it seems clear that these factors play some role in explaining why one group earns more money than another despite doing similar jobs!
Is there still a pay gap between men and women?
The pay gap between men and women is still very real. In fact, it’s been proven that US women earn less than men in almost every field of work other than arts and humanities. This isn’t because there are fewer high-paying jobs available for women—the reason why this happens is because society expects them to take time off after having children, which means they won’t be earning as much money while they’re gone.
So what can you do if you want more money? Well first of all, try not to take any time off at all! If possible, try working on your own schedule instead of having one full-time job with two part-time jobs; this will allow you access more flexible hours which could help close the gap between how much each type pays out per hour worked (or even per minute).
Are you allowed to ask a woman to coffee? No. Why not? Cause it’s not clear if you are asking her on a date or if you are just asking her to coffee!
You may be asking yourself, “Am I allowed to ask a woman to coffee?” The answer is no. Why? Because it’s not clear if you are asking her on a date or if you are just asking her to coffee!
There’s no clear cut answer here. It depends on the context of the conversation and how she feels about it. If it’s clear that he wants something more than just a cup of joe, then he should have been clearer about what he meant by “coffee”. But if he means just one drink in order for both parties involved in this discussion feel comfortable with each other (and themselves), then there wouldn’t be any problems at all—it would be perfectly normal behavior for both genders during this time period.”
Men and women these days have to be careful what they say to each other.
The battle of the sexes is not over. Women are still fighting for equal pay and men are still trying to maintain their masculinity, but it’s important that we don’t forget about each other. If you’re a woman, or if you want to be treated like one, then don’t talk down to other women or make them feel bad about themselves because they don’t fit into your idea of what a woman should be like—and vice versa!
If there’s one thing everyone can agree on today (besides maybe supporting Hillary Clinton), it’s this: no matter how hard we try to fight against stereotypes and outdated notions about gender roles—or even just being nice enough not take offense when someone makes assumptions based on our appearance—we’ll never fully succeed until those attitudes become less acceptable in society as a whole.
