My Survey:
BothPortraitBuilding X N p-value4e-12*5e-22*.14 * Indicates significance at the level. Portrait was significant Both portrait and building was significant Building was not significant but over half chose the golden ratio Using a 1-proportion z-test
Because of the central limit theorem, many test statistics are approximately normally distributed for large samples The building would be significant as well Through my analysis of the Golden Ratio, it proves to be most esthetically pleasing This project merges my Math major and Psychology minor.
