This week's lab will utilize a Chi-Square test for Independence to answer the question: Is there a relationship between collegemajor and type of sport played (informal club sports vs. organized intramural sports vs. high-levelcollegiate teams)?
Hypotheses: In a brief paragraph, just say your impression of the question. If you had to make an educated guess, based on your own real-life experience, do you think that students from different college majors (in this case business, psychology, and nursing)are more likely to be involved in certain types of sports played (club sports, intramurals, or high level collegiate sports)? State the null and alternative hypotheses (State these using the variable names; you do not need to use numbers).
SPSS Analysis: We have some data from a hypothetical sample that includes thesports type of students in different majors. Please use theSPSS Assignment9 Lab Book to help guide you through the process of using SPSS to produce crosstabs and a chi-square test for independence for the dataset, and copying and pasting the output to a Word document.
Results:Identify the primary goal of thisanalysis. Report the results of the crosstabs (expected vs. observed frequencies)and chi-square test.Describe in words/paragraph form what the output tells you. Do college major and type of sport played have a significant relationship, or are these two variables independent of each other? How do you know?
Conclusions: Write a brief paragraph that discusses what you learned from these variables, including comparing your findings to your guess from the first questions above. What are the limitations of chi-square? How do these limitations apply to your findings? How does thesize of this sample impact the conclusions you can make based on your findings?
