Results

After collecting my ANOVA data, I collected that my P-value between groups male and female showed no significant difference when asked if they agree with abortion. The P-value was… When asked if they thought, abortion in the first trimester should be legal both groups showed a very high P-value resulting in no significance between the two. Both groups were then asked where they stand if the female decides to have an abortion in case of an unwanted pregnancy which resulted in P-value=.338 which is greater than .05. Therefore, there is no significant difference between both groups.

I used α=.05 to make my significance decision.
