H0: There is no change between students’ fear of statistics and the semesters.
H1: There is a change between students’ fear of statistics and the semesters.
The table above shows us that both the January and July 2018 cohorts view statistics with fear compared to without fear.
The results of the Chi-square test above, the Pearson Chi-Square row, it is seen that there is no statistically significant association between students’ fear of statistics and the semester (χ(1) = 3.057, p = .080). Thus, both students from the January and July 2018 semesters tend to fear statistics regardless of the semester they are in.
It is also evident from the table above that the strength of association between the variables is very weak. Hence, the fear of statistics cannot be restricted to any particular semester.
Question 2
Correlation between Gender & Age
It is evident that there is a negative and weak relationship between age and gender. However, the relationship between gender and age is not statistically significant, r = -0.29, n = 190 p = 0.698. Thus, gender does not influence age or the other way around.
Correlation between Gender & Satisfaction with Life
It is seen that there is a positive, though weak, and a significant relationship between gender and satisfaction with life, r = 0.197, n = 190 p = 0.007. Hence, we can reluctantly conclude that gender influences satisfaction with life. However, this is not significant and thus cannot be proven.
Correlation between Gender & Flourishing
There is a positive, though weak, and a significant relationship between gender and flourishing score, r = 0.167, n = 190 p = 0.020. Gender influences the flourishing score where it can be seen that as one moves from the male gender to the female gender, the flourishing score is seen to increase.
Correlation between Age & Flourishing
It is evident that there is a positive and weak relationship between age and flourishing. However, the relationship between age and flourishing is not statistically significant, r = 0.29, n = 190 p = 0.698. Age does not influence the flourishing score. Hence, regardless of age, ones flourishing score differs.
Correlation between Age & Satisfaction with Life
It is evident that there is a positive but weak relationship between age and satisfaction with life. However, the correlation between satisfaction with life and age is not statistically significant, r = 0.29, n = 190 p = 0.693. Hence, age does not influence the satisfaction with life. Regardless of age, one can have a high satisfaction or low satisfaction with life.
Correlation between Satisfaction with Life & Flourishing
There is a strong and positive correlation between satisfaction with life and the flourishing score. The correlation between flourishing score and satisfaction with life is statistically significant, r = 0.715, n = 190 p = 0.000. Thus, as the flourishing score of an individual increases, so is his or her satisfaction with life score.
The regression model summary table shows that 50.8% of the variability is elucidated by factors within the model while 49.2% of the variability is elucidated by factors which are not in the model.
The regression ANOVA output shows that the model is statistically significant, F (1, 188) = 196.48, p = 0.00.
Regression equation:
SW = 1.269*FS – 1.193
From the regression equation, it is evident that a unit increase in Flourishing leads to a 1.269 increase in Satisfaction with Life all factors kept constant. The coefficient is statistically significant at 0.05 (p = 0.000). It is worth noting that the level of Satisfaction with Life with all factors kept constant is -1.193.
If the life score of someone who has a score of 50 for Flourishing, then the Satisfaction with Life is 62.257.
Question 3
Hypothesis:
H0: The different programs do not differ in their Age, Excepted grade and flourishing
H1: The different programs differ in their Age, Excepted grade and flourishing
The table above shows the descriptive statistics. It is evident that the programs have different means in terms of age in eras, gender and flourishing.
The result of the one-way MANOVA is as seen below:
It is evident that the difference was not a statistically significant in the different programs based on Age, Excepted grade and flourishing, F = 0.936, p < 0.199; Wilk’s Λ = 0.936, partial η2 = 0.022. Thus, the different programs do not differ in their Age, Excepted grade and flourishing.
H0: There are no gender differences in Satisfaction with Life
H1: There are gender differences in Satisfaction with Life
Independent samples t-test
Since the significance of the Levenes’ test is more than 0.05 (p = 0.063), we use equal variances assumed row. It is evident that the males have statistically significant lower satisfaction with life (mean difference is – 0.65) compared to the females, t (188) = 3.494, p = 0.007.
One-way between subject ANOVA
From the one-way ANOVA results in the table above, it is evident that there was statistically significant difference, F (1,188) = 7.57, P = 0.007. Thus, there is a difference in the satisfaction with life on the basis of gender differences.
Linear regression
The result of the linear regression ANOVA are similar with the results of the one-way ANOVA. This confirms that there is a difference in the satisfaction with life on the basis of gender differences.
Consequently, from the linear regression, it can be seen that gender has a positive and a significant impact on the satisfaction of life (p = 0.007). Thus, the three methods have been successful in proving that gender has a significant impact on the satisfaction of life.
