Give a proper APA statistical explanation of the output. Based on the following:

1. State the Independent and Dependent variables and other information required.
2. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Null Hypothesis (H_o): Respondents who support the legalization of marijuana are older than respondents who do not support the legalization of marijuana.

Alternative Hypothesis (H_a): Respondents who support legalization of marijuana are younger than respondents who do not support legalization of marijuana.

3. Which statistical test will you use and why?

We will use a T-test in order to determine if the two groups are significantly different from each other on the variable of interest.

		Level of Measurement	Distribution (Normal, Somewhat Normal, Not Normal)
Independent variable:	Age of the respondents	Ratio	Not Normal
Dependent variable:	Should marijuana be made legal	_Nominal	_Not Normal
