Week6.docxThe question for my project is as follows: does the level of education impact a mother’s right to have an abortion? The DV is the following: (abdefect) strong chance of serious defect. Additionally, my IV is the following, respondent’s highest degree (degree).
Research question:
Does the level of education impact beliefs on abortion in the case of a special needs child?
Research hypothesis: A mother’s level of education does impact her decision/ability to have an abortion, if her unborn baby is a special needs child.
Null hypothesis: A mother’s level of education does not impact her decision/ability to have an abortion, if her unborn baby is a special needs child.
The level of significance used (alpha) was .05.
The valid score for comparison or P is .0; therefore, P is less than .05.
Due to the fact P was .0, the null was rejected. Moreover, there is a possitive impact/coralation on abortion. This most likely, is caused by an unbalanced variance within the group, causing the null to be rejected. Since P was determined to be .0, there is no association between the DV and the IV. In conclusion, since there was no association between the two variables, the study would be week. Therefore, it most likely would be bennificial to revisit the varibles for a stronger associcion.
Moving forward, I would want to select gamma variables as opposed to lambda variables, because gamma variables are more likely to have a possitive coralation. For example, one can see from my outputs there is almost a negative output. Therefore, there is a greater chance of having the null rejected.
