C11. We examine the relationship between educational attainment

(DEGREE) and agreement to the statement, “Scientific research is necessary and should be supported by the federal government” as measured in the GSS 2018. Responses to the scientific research statement (ADVFRONT) are measured on an ordinal scale: 1 =

strongly agree, 2 = agree, 3 = neither, 4 = disagree, and 5 = strongly disagree. Does agreement vary by one’s educational degree?

1. Set alpha at .01, and test the null hypothesis of equal means.
2. What is the eta square for this model?
