The data for your short survey should be entered into the Excel database that you created last week. With this data set, complete the following: (Data and document with independent varibles/dependent variables are attached).

  1. Calculate descriptive statistics for your main independent and other variables you have collected information on (example: demographic variables).
    1. Create a bar chart for the participants’ gender and ethnicity.
    2. Create a histogram for participants’ age.
  2. Calculate descriptive statistics for your dependent variable.

    2. Write the null and alternate hypotheses.
    3. What is the calculated statistic value?
    4. What is the p and critical statistic value?
    5. Is the p value significant? Is calculated statistic value greater than critical value?
    6. What is your conclusion?
