The description is of the cross table is yes that 0-39.9% is 20.4% rate of a BA degree in college respondent attended, 40-57.9% is yes16.9, 58% is percent and up is 17.4% and yes within the rate of a BA degree in college respondent attended.As well as, the no of the sample population is 0-39 and 76.6% with the rate of BA degree earning in college respondent attended, 40-57.9 to 83.1% are no with the rate of a BA degree earning in college respondent attended, 58% plus in 83% are no with the rate of a BA degree earning in college pertain.The interpretation is of the table is that 20.4% in the bracket of 0 to 39% have earned a bachelors have yes earned a bachelor's degree. In addition, the no sample population do not have abachelor's degree from 40-57.9% agree that 83.1 percent have not earned a bachelor's degree.The (H1) research question does a bachelor's degree plays an important role in why people get divorced or separated, due to the financial status of each spouse.The (H0) null hypothesis is that there is no correlation between a bachelor's degree leading toward divorce and separation.The strength of the relationship is negative and there is no correlation between rate of a bachelor's degree, and if this led to divorce or separation.More of 83% in all categories have answered no to earning a bachelor's degree, and only around 20 % of the sample population in all categories have received a bachelor's degree.I found that this was particularly interesting that most of this sample population have not obtainbachelor's degree.As well as, that there was no evidence that this is a leading cause to divorce or separation.I felt the table lacked direction and could have used cluster sampling and divide the population evenly, to get a more exact result.This could really narrow down who is basically more successful with a degree and who also is a successful without a degree.I would also like to have more participant in the study to have more opinion on the topic.This could make the result more factual and maybe we can find the leading cause of divorce and prevent American from this event happening to them in the future.This study was very interesting understand how many participant had a degree, and which participant did not obtain.
