Data Set Assignments

Week #5:

First, give me your hypothesis on the following research questions:

1. Do males and females differ in type of schooling (home school vs. traditional school)?

2. Do males and females differ in type of instruction selected (public school, home school, private school, Christian school)?

I know that these are similar chi square analyses, but these are our categorical variables - we need to work with what we have!

State this as "It is hypothesized that..."

Using the school and instruction variables, calculate in SPSS two chi-squares to see if males and females differ on these variables. That is, the independent variable is gender (male/female) and the dependent variables are school and instruction. The chi-squares match the type of work that we are doing in Holcomb, chapter 16 (chi-square test of independence, NOT the chi-square test of goodness-of-fit).

There are a total of TWO chi-squares.

After conducting your analyses, explain your results and whether or not your results confirmed your hypotheses. Report the results of the analyses in

BELOW ARE THE 2 CHI-SQUARES THAT WERE RUN THROUGH THE SPSS PROGRAM! Im not sure how to read and analyze them;
