Research Scenario #4: An animal trainer wants to train cats to dance in order to fulfill a lifelong dream. They recruit a sample of 200 cats and their owners to participate in a research study aimed at identifying how different types of rewards may be related to success of training cats to dance. The trainer has cat owners offer their cats one of two kinds of rewards while training them to dance, an Affection Reward or a Food Reward. The trainer documents both the type of reward used and whether or not the cat danced after training. They would now like to know if the type of reward used (Affection, Food) was related to whether or not cats were trained to dance (yes, no). [10 marks total]
