The researcher was interested in how athletes felt about their athletic experiences. She created a four question survey with a five-point Likert scale asking about (1) how much they love their sport, (2) how much they enjoy their teammates, (3) how much they worry about their athletic performance, and (4) how satisfied they are with their coach. She then randomly sampled 85 male and female high school athletes from the San Diego and the Dallas school districts who started for their high school teams.

1. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
2. Is the Levene Test significant? What does this mean?
3. Is the difference between the men and women in how much they love their sport statistically significant?
4. What can we conclude? Explain with a narrative
