Use SPSS to answer the research question. Post your response to the following: Include the General Social Survey Dataset’s mean of Age to verify the dataset you used. What is your research question? What is the null hypothesis for your question? What research design would align with this question? What dependent variable was used and how is it measured? What independent variable is used and how is it measured? If you found significance, what is the strength of the effect? Explain your results for a lay audience and further explain what the answer is to your research question.

The General Social Survey (GSS) is a yearly survey of adult US citizens on a variety of social issues.

Here are some of the questions asked: i. Gender (Male/Female) ii. Age (years) iii. Highest Degree Earned (None, High School Diploma, Associate's level, Bachelor's level, Post-bachelor's [MS, PhD, MD, etc.]) iv. Political Party (Republican, Democrat, Other) v. Household yearly income ($) For each of the following questions, indicate the most appropriate analysis to be used to test the research hypothesis. Choose one of the following strategies: ANOVA (comparing multiple group means), Independent Samples T-Test (comparing two group means), Correlation, Chi-squared Test (comparing two or more proportions), One proportion test 14.

A researcher wonders if there is a link between gender and political party. He takes a random sample of 179 people and finds that 119 are men and 60 are women. He also determines that there are 53 Democrats (34 of which are men), 25 Republicans (5 of which are women) and the rest are Independents. Test the appropriate hypothesis at α = 0.01. Round your answers to three decimal places. (a). Complete the table of expected counts: Male | Female Democrat | 35.235 | Republican | 16.62 | 8.38 Independent | 67.145 | 33.855 (b). Complete the table of contributions to the test statistic: Male | Female Democrat | | 0.086 Republican | 0.687 | 1.363 Independent | 0.069 | 0.136 (c). Using your answers from above, compute the test-statistic (d). Using your answers from above, compute the p-value (e). The critical value is (f). We Select an answer the null hypothesis and conclude that there Select an answer a link between gender and political party.
