Abst Study of Santa Giving Dynamics Last Christmas a 6 year old boy accused Santa of gender bias when he received fewer presents than he believed he deserved. In order to investigate the validity of these claims, an independent committee of elves and reindeer commissioned the Study of Santa Giving Dynamics of 2014 • It sent 4000 randomly chosen children from the Santa Big List a short survey Your Mission 1 Analyze this survey data to find out whether: 1. There is a significant difference in presents received for boys and girls. (Hint: You will use one of the tests from the previous chapters.) 2. If there is a significant difference, does this bias appear to arise from gender discrimination or from other factors. Explain your findings in a paragraph or two. Data notes: • . For Gender: 1 = Male and 2 = Female. For Self-rated behavior: 1 is best, 4 is worst Letter: whether or not they sent a letter to Santa Your Mission 2 • You are hired by a set of enterprising children to determine what factors predict the number of presents that they will receive for Christmas. Estimate regression models from the data to find an answer then provide a sufficiently clear write-up so that a 9- year-old can understand.
