This is following of above post.
In this post, I will calculating confidence intervals for "atwm"; Attitudes Towards Working Mothers and "em",; Early Marriage.
Let's begin.
We can use mean() function to calculate average. "atwm" average is 44.8 and "em" average is 12.1.
To calculate confidence intervals, we need average and followings
--- number of observations
--- standard deviation of observations
--- standard error of observations
--- confidence level, I use 5%
I use lenght() function to get number of observations. "atwm" number of observations is 80.
sd() function gets standard deviation. "atwm" standard deviation is 18.999
Standard error is "standard deviation / sqrt(number of observations)". So the smaller standard deviation, the smaller standard error, the larger number of observations, the smaller standard error.
I use confidence level 5%, it means qt(0.975, n - 1).
Let's calculate confidence intervals for "atwm"; Attitudes Towards Working Mothers.
Confidence Intervals is 40,64 ~ 49.09 at 5% level.
Next, I will calculate confidence intervals for "em"; Early Marriage.
Before calculate it, I will make custom function with function() for calculating confidence intervals.
Let's check if this function will do.
This result is the same as previous result. So, this calc_ci() is working correctly.
I use calc_ci() to get confidence intervals for "em"; Early Marriage.
"em"; Early Marriage confidence intervals at 5% level is 10.28 ~ 13.97.
Lastly, I make a plot to show average value and confidence intervals.
I use plot() functuon with type = "h" and abline().
That's it. Thank you!
