Are juvenile defendants who are released pending adjudication processed more slowly than those who are detained? The
Question:
Are juvenile defendants who are released pending adjudication processed more slowly than those who are detained? The
JDCC data set records whether a juvenile was released and the number of months it took for that juvenile's case to reach a
disposition. The sample will be narrowed to black female youth. Released juveniles (Sample 1) had a mean of 4.30 months to
disposition (s= 3.86,N= 123) and detained juveniles (Sample 2) had a mean of 3.57 (s= 4.20,N= 64). Using an alpha level of .01, test the hypothesis that released juveniles' mean time-to-adjudication is significantly greater than detained juveniles'
mean. Assume equal population variances. Use all five steps.
Im lost on this and the five steps and how the equations look
can you show the calculations?
