Explanation / Answer
a) Which factors were significant at a 0.05 level of significance? (Select all that apply.)
age gender education marital status
A factor is significant (i.e Reject null hypothesis) if p-value < level of significance
As null hypothesis is factor is not significant and alternate hypothesis is factor is siginificant
Level of significance = 0.05
Factor : Gender ; p-value = 0.409 ; p-value : 0.409 > Level of significance : 0.05 ; Gender factor not significant
Factor : Age ; p-value = 0.029 ; p-value : 0.029 < Level of significance : 0.05 ; Age factor significant
Factor : martial status ; p-value = 0.000 ; p-value : 0.000 < Level of significance : 0.05 ; Martial Status significant
Factor : Education; p-value = 0.536 ; p-value : 0.536> Level of significance : 0.05 ; Education factor not significant
Gender has 2 levels : Men, Women
Age has 4 levels : 20s 30s 40s 50s
Martial Status has 3 levels : Single, married, divorced
Education has 4 levels : High school, presecondary, University degree, Masters
