Explanation / Answer

1. H0: The desire to become parent is indpendent of gender.

or H0: There is no significant differnce in the desire of male and female to become parent.

2. Yes null hypothesis is relected at 1% Level of significance. This implies there is significant difference in the desire of male and female to become parent. Or the desire to become parent is dependent on gender.

Since calculated value of t is more than tabulated value of t at 1% level of significance, also calculated p-vaule will be less than 0.01. Therefore null hypothesis is rejected.

3. The mean difference for Marital satisfication at Time 2 = 0.65

4. No, null hypothesis is not rejected, Since calculated value is less than tabulated value of t at even at 5% level of significance. Also calculated p-vaule will be more than 0.05. Therefore null hypothesis is not rejected.

5. No, it is not signficant because null hypothesis is accepted.

6. Women report more parenting Stress than males.
