VARTIATION IN THE USE OF TOBACCO ACROSS GENDER21.0 IntroductionBeing an employee of the human resources department in a large biomedical company, itis of the main interest to test the variation in the use of tobacco across gender. Smoking hasbecome a signature of status to both males and females. It is still expected that the percentagefemale smokers are less than that of male smokers (Krueger, Krueger & Koot, 2015). Thus, insupport of this claim, this research has been conducted. To conduct this research, the followingnull and alternative hypothesis has been framed. Null Hypothesis (H0):There are no significant differences in the percentage of male and femaleyouths smoking frequently.Alternative Hypothesis (HA):There are significant differences in the percentage of male andfemale youths smoking frequently.2.0 Data Collection2.1 Proposed Data CollectionThe data collected was collected from a secondary data source. The data fromCatalog.data.gov (2018) on the tobacco consumption by the youths has been collected. A lot ofvariables and values were present in the data selected. From the whole dataset, the necessaryrows and columns were extracted. As the aim of this research is to test gender variation in theuse of tobacco, the values of male and female individuals who smoke frequently over the countryhas been selected. From the whole data, 24 data points have been obtained which containedinformation of frequent male and female smokers over the United States in the year 2015. 2.2 Actual Data Collection
VARTIATION IN THE USE OF TOBACCO ACROSS GENDER3The data collection process was extremely simple and was conducted very easily. Theextracted dataset that is used for the analysis is given in the appendix section along with thevariance statistics of the data. 3.0 Data Analysis and InterpretationTo conduct the analysis, the first thing that has been computed are some basic descriptivestatistics measures such as the mean, the median, the mode, the standard deviations. Themeasures obtained as a result of the analysis are given in the following table 1. From the table, itcan be seen that the average percentage of male frequent tobacco users is 2.175 whereas theaverage percentage of female frequent tobacco users is 1.47. The study has been conducted onyouths. Thus, from here, it can be said that quite a large percentage of the youths are tobaccousers, irrespective of males and females as the percentage of smokers reflect the percentage ofthe total population of the United States. The whole population is not comprised of the youths.There are people of all age groups. From the table, it can also be seen that the sample variance inmales is 3.61 and that in females is 2.36. This indicates that there is quite a large variation in theconsumption in males and a comparatively smaller variation among the females in terms offrequent smokers. Thus, it can be said from here that the consistency of the frequent femalesmokers is higher than that of frequent male smokers.
