ABSTRACT

In my study, I wanted to find out if there was a significant difference in  proportions of North Olmsted High School students who own a iPhone versus those who own an Android. I tested the hypothesis by creating a random sample of 100 students by using Minitab, doing a random sample of all NOHS students that were enrolled in the 2015-2016 school year. Next, I put out the surveys and received about 70 responses back. I tested my hypothesis by doing a 2-proportions test. I had a null hypothesis was that p1- p2 = 0  and the alternative was p1 - p2 ≠ 0 . I put the data I received into Minitab and began to do the 2-proportion test. My variables were: p1 = the proportion of North Olmsted High School students who own an iPhone and p2 = the proportion of North Olmsted High School students who own an Android. After running the test, I got a p-value of 0 which allowed me to reject the null hypothesis at any level of significance. Therefor, I had significant evidence to say that proportion of North Olmsted High School students who own an iPhone is significantly different than the proportion of North Olmsted High School students who own an Android.

The iPhone is favored by developers as the launch platform of choice for the hottest new apps. Where as, the Google Play store is comparable to the Netflix of app stores; it gets the best apps, but usually after they see their first run on iOS.

 

The Samsung Galaxy S7 starts with 32GB of internal storage for $700 compared to Apples iPhone 6s gets 16GB for $650.

Android users can't get the latest software unless they buy a new phone, because Android makers and carriers often don't support the latest and best Android versions until several months after Google releases them.  All of the current iPhone models can get the latest iOS updates as soon as they are released.
