Homework Study 2 Is there a non-accidental relationship between the expected course grades
of students (Q3) and their reasons for taking the course (Q4)? Answer this question
based on the "evals.sav" data.
Data file: evals.sav
Variables: Q3, Q4
Answer the following questions:
- Is it legitimate to use Chi-Square on the data? Check for all four
assumptions. If not legitimate, what transformation can you perform in
order to use Chi-Square?
- If necessary, check the figures for normal distribution
and note any outliers.
- What are the degrees of freedom?
- Perform the Chi-Square; write the result below.
- Is the result significant at p<.001?
- In terms of operationalization of the variables, how informative
is the information that the students have provided here?
- Would a significant finding allow one to conclude that a person's
reasons for taking a course stand in a cause-effect relationship to the
expected grade? Explain.
