Question

A student researcher wanted to determine the relationship between the number of time students attend class (0-48) and their satisfaction with the class overall (1-10 scale). They believe that the more students attend class the happier they will be with the class. 1. What are the researcher’s independent and dependent variables? a. Independent=______________________________ b. Dependent=_______________________________ 2. What are the null and alternative hypotheses (use the appropriate symbols not words)? a. H0=__________________ b. H1=__________________ 3. What is the appropriate test for the researcher to use?__________________ 4. Why is that statistic appropriate? If applicable to the specific test: 5. What are the test’s assumptions? 6. What are the test’s df? 7. What is the appropriate critical value? 8. If the research obtains a test statistic of ____ , would the researcher retain or reject H0? 9. Should the researcher do any follow up tests or make any graphs/charts? 10. Interpret the findings in APA style

Explanation / Answer

a.The independent variable is: the number of time students attend class (0-48)

b.The dependent variable is: their satisfaction with the class overall (1-10 scale).

2.a.The null hypothesis is:

H0:The population correlation =0

b.The alternative hypothesis is:

H1:the population correlation not equal to zero

3.The appropriate test is t test.

4.The appropriate test is t test statistic.
