Describe the survey that was used to collect your data. Explain why four scaled survey questions were used instead of just one, and mention the 7-point scale that was used to quantify the survey responses. What characteristic would a person giving disagree responses (i.e.; 1, 2, 3) have? What characteristic would a person giving agree responses (i.e.; 5, 6, 7) have? Refer the reader to Appendix A where your survey is located.
Investigation (7 points)
Explain why you are performing an F-test on the variances before performing the t-test. Explain what is being tested in the
F-test and give the significance level being used. Next explain why you are performing a t-test on the mean responses, explain what is being tested in the t-test, and give the significance level of the t-test. Be sure to mention that the alternative hypotheses of the t-test is your proposed hypothesis. (This section can be written before any data is collected. It should not mention anything specific to your sample data – do not mention sample sizes, sample means, test results, etc.)
