As we know, association means that two variables are related to the extent that knowing a person's attribute on one will help you guess his or her attribute on the other. With this in mind, hypothesize, and then find and interpret Lambda (?) and Chi-Square (?2) values regarding the relationship between CAPPUN and POSTLIFE (believe in life after death) in the 2004gss_revised.sav file.
1.State the Null Hypothesis and Alternative Hypothesis:
a.Null Hypothesis (Ho):___________
b.Alternative Hypothesis (Ha):___________
2.State the Independent and Dependent variables. (Only the variable name would suffice.) Make sure that you place the correct IV and DV in the answer below, and not simply rely on the Crosstabs exercise hypothesis above, because it may be that your hypothesis in this section is different.
a.Independent variable: ___________
b.Dependent variable:___________
3.Run the crosstabulation according to the methods we have learned. Paste only the appropriate tables here (i.e.: Lambda and Chi-Square tables):
___________
4.What is the value of Lambda? What does it mean?
___________
5.Enter the Chi-Square value:
___________
6.Enter the degrees of freedom (d.f.):
___________
7.Enter the p-value:
___________
8.Based on the p-value, do we reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis at the .05 significance level? Explain you answer.
___________
