Marquez is interested whether people with different types of commutes
have different average levels of satisfaction with the distance between
home and work. They randomly selected 400 people who work outside the
home, and collected two pieces of information from them: what single
method of commuting they most commonly used (options are driving, public
transit, cycling, walking), and how satisfied they are with the distance
between their home and work (a 5 item Likert scale averaged to create a
total scale score).
What kind of test would be the BEST to examine this data to answer the
research question?
One-way ANOVA
Correlation
Regression
Dependent samples t-test
