Graduates of a particular college were classified as having

(a) Liberal arts degrees or

(b) Professional degrees. They were also classified as (1) planning to pursue graduate education or (2) not going on for graduate education. When the graduates returned for their 25th reunion, they completed an intervallevel, life satisfaction scale. Is life satisfaction influenced by type of degree and/or graduate study? What statistical test will answer this question?

In this series of questions, there are no headings that tell which flowchart to use. Plus, some gaps occur in the flowchart. For example, if the scenario has two dependent samples with an ordinal-level dependent variable, there is no such test in the flowchart. Tests exist for such situations; they just weren’t covered in this book. So, if a scenario in this series calls for a “missing” test, just write, “No such test in book” as your answer.
