Stat 152 - Weight GainDecember 15, 2006ted because they weren’t relevant to the samplepopulation. Also, some categorical questions wereomitted (e.g. “What is your ethnicity?”) becausethey weren’t likely to be directly correlated withweight change without the issue of confounding factors.The broad and overarching questions were shiftedtowards the end of the survey. This allowed students to get accustomed to the format of the survey, and be more comformtable with answering thebroad questions later.Because some categoricalquestions may not cover all students, a zero-valuewas included in some cases to give students a broaderrange of answers. Some open-ended questions, suchFigure 1: Histogram of weight gain in the samplepopulationas “What sorts of foods do you buy the most?”were instead formatted as multiple choice questionsto reduce the survey response time. Categoricalquestions which may have an effect on weight, suchas “What is your sex?” were added to the survey.Some groups of different questions were combinedinto more generalized questions. Personal questionssuch as “Are you comfortable with your weight?”were designed in the multiple choice format.6FindingsFigure 1 shows changes in weight over the past year.From this graph, we see that a majority of peopledid not report any weight changes. Slightly morepeople reported a weight gain than a weight loss,but the small difference may not be stastically sigFigure 2: Weight gain vs. price per mealnificant.We first test if price spent per meal influences4

Stat 152 - Weight GainDecember 15, 2006weight gain. Intuitively, the amount of money spenton food should be linearly related to weight gain.However, according to figure 2, which displays a histogram of weight gain against price spent per meal,we see there is no significant relationship betweenthese two variables.Figure 4: Exercise time per majorFigure 3: Weight gain vs. majorNext we test if weight gain is influenced by exercise time. Figure 3 shows weight gain againstmajor, and figure 4 shows exercise time per major. Initially, we thought that students with highlevels of exercise would either lose or maintain theirweight. From the data, however, the relationship isambiguous: some students in majors (such as ME)who exercise often do tend to maintain their weight.In contrast, IEOR students also reported high levelsof exercise, but they gained weight.

Figures 5 and 6 whichshows how weight gain is related to unit load andcourse load, respectively, we see there is no clearrelationship.Next we test how gender affects weight gain.Figure 7 shows the relationship between weight gainand gender. From the results of the linear regression, we see that male engineer students tend to loseweight during last year, and females tend to gainweight. However, both men and women are morelikely to maintain their weight throughout the year.Because males are more numerous in the sampledpopulation, the results for males are more accurate.Finally, we examine how school year affects weightFigure 8: Weight gain vs. school yearchange. From figure 8, we see that first-year, thirdyear, fifth-year, and graduate level engineer stu6

However, it is fallacious to simplyNow we can offer suggestions on how to improveassume that the respondents and non-respondentsfuture sampling surveys on the same topic.

Instead, we should perform two-phase samplingcise and clear, and the results of its responses canin order to gather data from nonrespondents to helpbe easily translated into meaningful statistical data.reduce this bias.When we wish to find out if there are any relationships between the data provided by two differentquestions, we should make sure that the questionsand answer choices are worded in such a way thatthere can be a clear, direct comparison without anyconfounding variables. For instance, if we want tosee if money spent on food has any impact on a student’s weight change within a year, we should askabout how the student’s food spending habits havechanged compared to last year rather than just asking about how much money the student is spendingthis year.Another suggestion for improvement is to beable to seemingly categorical variables into relevantnumerical values for statistical analysis.For in-stance, rather than assigning Gained Weight 1, LostWeight 2, and Maintained Weight 3 within a table, it is more practical to do: Lost Weight -1,Maintained Weight-0, and Gained Weight-1. Withthis change, calculations can now be done to combine these three answer choices into one simple average number when comparing among different groupsof people.Finally, for future sampling design, we can improve on how to handle non-response bias. For thissurvey, we make the huge assumption that nonresponse data is missing at random within a class and8

Justin MungalHarmony ChiSibo ZhaoRicky SunStat 152 Team 1, Group 1October 12, 2006Statistics 152: Team 1 Sampling DesignPurpose:The purpose of this survey is to test for the existence of a correlation between the amountof money spent by UC Berkeley engineering upperclassmen on food and weight gained in thepast year. One might hastily assume that the more money a student spends on food, the moreweight one would gain given that they would have more food to eat. However, one must takeinto consideration that a student could spend more money on food by purchasing organic andquality food items that could provide a healthier diet, thereby maintaining or even decreasingbody weight. Thus the question of a correlation is no longer trivial and interesting enough forfurther analysis.Methodology:Our designated target population is all upperclassmen at UCB College of Engineering.This target population was selected because College of Engineering is smaller and morerestrictive than other colleges, yet it is still a relatively good representative of the total studentbody population. Also, information about the College of Engineering is readily available online.The quality of statistics is accurate enough so that our analyses and results will not becompromised.Our sampled population will be all respondents of the distributed questionnaire. Sincewe will be carrying out the survey in lectures and discussions, the sampling frame will consist ofUCB upper division engineers who attend the upper division engineering courses we survey in.We estimated our population size, the number of all upperclassmen at UCB College ofEngineering, to be N 1765.127 . The estimation is based on the data on 2005-2006 College ofEngineering’s statistics, provided by the Office of Student ). This is the best estimate of our target populationsince the data of the 2006-2007 has not been published, and previous year’s data is the closestrepresentative. We can then determine the total number of students to be sampled, n, by usingthe following formula:Zα2 / 2 S 2n ,Zα2 / 2 S 22e N()where S 2 1 1 1 is used get the “safe” estimation since there22is no prior survey conducted regarding this topic.When e 0.03 and Zα 2 1.96 for 95% confidence interval, we calculated that n 665

When e 0.05 and Zα 2 1.96 for 95% confidence interval, we calculated that n 315When e 0.05 and Zα 2 1.645 for 90% confidence interval, we calculated that n 235While e 0.03 and Zα 2 1.96 is the norm for estimating population size, it is notpractical for us to survey 665 students because we do not have the resources to do so. We canreduce the sample size by either increase the margin or error e, or lower the confidence interval.While changing the margin of error to 0.05 and the confidence interval to 90% will decrease thesample size to 235 students, we thought it was best that we keep the confidence interval at 95%and increase the margin of error to 0.05. A sample size of 315 is attainable while giving us moreaccuracy than 235.We first stratified the data by engineering discipline: Bioengineering (BioE), Civil &Environmental Engineering (CEE), Electrical Engineering & Computer Science (EECS),Industrial Engineering & Operations Research (IEOR), Material Science Engineering (MSE),Mechanical Engineering (ME), and Nuclear Engineering (NE). Note, students in otherengineering sciences (i.e., Engineering Physics, Engineering Mathematics) are assumed to beincluded in the sampling frame, given that they must take upper division classes from thepreviously listed major engineering disciplines. The decision to stratify was made because anSRS would be overly time consuming – one would have to devise a plan of randomly samplingall engineering upperclassmen at once. Also, engineers from different disciplines have verydifferent food consumption patterns. For example, an EECS major may only have time to eatwhile doing labs or late at night while engineers from other disciplines have much more freedom.Our surveys will take place in upper division engineering classes because this ensures efficiencyin data collection given that the target population is upperclassmen in the College of Engineering.Stratification was performed by grouping students by engineering departments (EECS, IEOR,etc.) because classes are listed in the college of engineering catalog by department.After stratifying the College of Engineering into seven strata, we used the two-stagecluster sampling method to select our samples. We estimated the number of upper divisionstudents in each department by multiplying the number of undergraduate students in eachdepartment by the percentage of upper division students in the College of Engineering. This isthe best estimation we can obtain because the number of upper division students in eachEngineering department is not reported. Next, we needed to calculate the sample size from eachstratum, or department. The stratum sample size is determined by the ratio of upper divisionstudents in each department and number of students in College of Engineering, we will call this r.Then, the sampling sizes for each department is obtained by r*n (see the following table of alldepartments and their corresponding sample sizes).StratumSample Size,# of UndergradStudents# of Upper 637361647.65836581Departmentnh

5.12496315.4958124Next, we collected data for the upper division UCB engineering class sizes from theOnline Schedule of Classes for the current semester (http://schedule.berkeley.edu/srchfall.html).Each class was assigned a ratio based on the number of people enrolled in the course to ensurethat everyone has the same probability of being chosen. For each class, the ratio equals to thenumber of people enrolled the class divided by the total number of people in the stratum.Cumulative frequency is then calculated based on the ratio we just assigned. Correspondingly,random number are generated between 0 and 1 using Excel function RAND(). The larger classeshave a higher chance of being selected because their cumulative frequency intervals are larger.Each randomly generated number falls into a cumulative frequency interval and thecorresponding class to the interval is chosen. Also, to ensure that we cover enough classes toachieve our desired sampling size, we generate enough random numbers so that the classes wesample have number of enrolled students that is approximately 1.5nh to 2nh . Notice that we areoverestimating the number of classes we need to sample. This is because we want to take intoaccount the people who are enrolled in the class but do not show up on the day of the survey, orthey show up but are not engineering majors.For lectures that are too large to sample in lecture, we chose to sample all the discussionsections for that lecture if they are offered. Instead of listing the lecture as a primary samplingunit, we have each discussion session for that lecture as a primary sampling unit. This can bedone because we assume that students from the same lecture have similar backgrounds, and theyare evenly distributed throughout all the discussion sections. Furthermore, since we have no wayto reach the students for classes that do not meet regularly in an assigned classroom, such asindependent studies classes, we decided to omit them. This will not produce a large bias sincethese classes are very small in size, usually 3 to 10 students. And these students are most likelytaking other engineering courses also. Not only will it be costly and time consuming to trackdown these students, but since we are excluding those who have already taken the survey inother engineering classes to avoid multiple submissions from one observational unit, it seemslogical to omit these classes. In addition, if a class is cross-listed, we will survey everybody inthe course and group it under the department that had the most students enrolled in the course.Also, if more than one randomly generated number falls into the same cumulative frequencyinterval, we discard all but one of those randomly generated numbers. Once the classes areselected, under two-stage cluster sampling, we survey every student in those classes and take anSRS of the number of surveys we need based on the calculation above. If a student has alreadytaken a survey in another class, we ask them not to take it again.

To demonstrate the method we used in choosing the classes to sample, consider the followingclass list of the Nuclear Engineering Department:ClassSizeRatioCumulativeNE 101370.3162390.3162393NE 104B30.0256410.3418803NE 120190.1623930.5042735NE 124200.170940.6752137NE 161220.1880340.8632479NE 180160.1367521Total1171n h 5RAND()Classesto besampled0.83126NE 161The first randomly generated number is 0.83126, it falls between [0.675214, 0.863248],therefore, NE 161 is included in our sample. Since we only needed 5 students from the NuclearEngineering Department, and the first randomly generated number gave us NE 161, which has22 students, it is enough to just sample NE 161. After all surveys are completed for this class,we randomly pick out 5 of them to be included in our sample. Using the same method for alldepartments, a total of 14 classes were selected.The classes to be sampled are displayed in the following table:Classes to beSampledSize of ClassClasses to be Sampled Size of ClassBioE 10435EECS 14350BioE/MSE 11842IEOR 15032CEE 12443ME 102 LAB 328CEE 130 L253ME 11068EECS 12651ME 109 DIS 144EECS 12318MSE 10264EECS 14155NE 16122Lastly, to make the survey process run smoothly, it is recommended that surveyorscontact those teaching the class to be surveyed. Together they can decide on a time that wouldbe most appropriate and most comprehensive for a class survey to be conducted. If a professordecides that we cannot survey his or her class, we may need to sample another class similar tothat one. Also, as a warning to surveyors, caution should be taken to ensure that duplicate

surveys are not collected. This can be done with verbal and/or written directions requesting thatthe survey only be participated in once. All surveyors should be consistent with thesepreliminary directions. To avoid questionnaire bias, multiple questions regarding students’weight and money spent on food should be asked. The intention of asking the same question inmultiple ways is to catch inconsistencies as well as to gain context of the participant’s responseto the most interesting questions on the questionnaire.

Stat 152Professor HuangChen ChangNancy YaoDina ObaAndrew ParkGroup I Questionnaire Group ReportIntroduction:Our objective was to come up with questions with regards to our Team I project proposal.The purpose of our survey is to test for the existence of a correlation between the amountof money spent by UC Berkeley engineering upperclassmen on food and weight gained inthe past year. The two dependent variables are clearly amount of money spent on foodand the weight of upperclassmen engineering students. Thus our motivation is clear andour goal is to derive the simplest and quickest survey to perform and yet becomprehensive enough to gather enough data for analysis as desired.The Questionnaire Design Process:The following questions were omitted from the final survey design with reasoningprovided:36. How important is food to you?People from our own stat152 class didn’t provide any useful responses during the testingdemo we conducted.All general information questions were shifted towards the end of the survey becausestudents felt it was too personal to be right at the beginning, better to let the testparticipant get accustomed to the background of the survey contents before striking forthe personal detailsQuestions with options to select a number on a scale from 1-10 had a zero added to befrom 0-10 to be even more inclusive in the event that the test participant feels he or she issomehow not included amongst the possible choicesFor instance,11. How many meals (not including snacks) do you eat per day?12. How often do you snack per day?There was a suggestion to add an additional question of “Which grocery stores do you goto more?” but we chose not to add it because we were trying to shorten the questionnaireand the follow-up question didn’t directly pertain to our topic.Parts of the following question were omitted to shorten the length of the survey:19. What sorts of foods do you buy the most? (choose one from each row)

23. Do you have a meal plan?This question resulted in the response “no” more often than not so we got rid of thefollow-up question although it would be useful to know if these students had a meal plan.Removed 24. If you answered yes to the above question, how many points do you haveper semester?We got the suggestion to add in the question, “Do your parents cook food for you and thenbring it over?” but we decided to omit it because it was hard to define and we figured thatit applied to a small portion of people.26. Do you eat while you are studying?27. Do your eating habits change during midterm/final weeks?We decided to omit both of these questions because the relevancy factor wasn’t as high ascertain other questions and in the interest of shortening the length of the survey somequestions had to go.8. Do you have a job/paying internship or do you get a consistent allowance?Revised to the following to make it clearer:22. Do you have a job/paying internship or do you get a consistent allowance? You maycircle more than one.We added in the question of gender as part of the general information section because itmay be desirable to view the weight and food money spent correlation across sexes aswomen and men certainly have different diets and appetites.30. How many hours per week do you spend at the gym/playing sports/exercising?Omitted because we combined this question into a better worded question 31.17. How much do you spend per trip to the grocery store?This question was made clearer by changing the wording to “How much do you spend pertrip to the grocery store on yourself?”20. Do you buy bulk (as in do you shop at Costco, Sam’s Club, etc)?This question was omitted because question 21 was reworded to incorporate the responseto question 20 and it is no longer necessary.25. How many meals a week do you eat with friends?This question is not directly related to the survey topic so it was discarded.6. What is your ethnicity?This question from the background information session was tossed out because ofirrelevancy to the topic and some people may not feel like disclosing the classification.

Second Revision Below:13. On average, how many caffeinated beverages (soda, coffee, energy drinks, etc) do youconsume per week?4. Approximately how many of your meals per week are spent eating fast food likeMcDonald’s, Taco Bell, etc?8. How often do you buy organic food items?On a scale of relevancy, these three questions were eliminated for the sake of length of thesurvey as it was four pages long and professor Huang commented that it was too lengthyfor students to take and should be less than 3 minutes long. These three were chosen tobe removed because they have sibling questions which are closely related and thesignificance is not great as long as one or the other are retained.Categories were deleted to make the survey look shorter and because it became irrelevantsince there were only one or two questions under each classified category.The Final Questionnaire:After all the changes and modifications noted
