DUE 11/9/2018 8 P.M EST ORIGINAL WORK DATA ATTACHED Whether in a scholarly or practitioner setting, good research and data analysis should have the benefit of peer feedback. For this Discussion, you will post your response to the hypothesis test, along with the results. (ADD CHARTS) Use SPSS to answer the research question. Post your response to the following: EXAMPLE BELOW For the data set, General Survey, I chose the following variables: Citizen – ARE YOU A CITIZEN OF AMERICA? This is a numeric, nominal, categorical variable ). The second variable: owngun: HAVE GUN IN HOMES2SUSECLG. This is a numeric, nominal, categorical variable ). : Does American citizenship depict gun ownership in the home? : American citizenship does not depict gun ownership in the home. : Chi-Square Citizen: ARE YOU A CITIZEN OF AMERICA?. This is a numeric, nominal, categorical variable . Owngun: HAVE GUN IN HOMES2SUSECLG. This is a numeric, nominal, categorical variable ( The chi-square test will tell us if there is a relationship, not the strength. The Cramer V will assist with the answering the strength of a relationship between the variables. But first, we
look at the case processing summary. 871 chose to answer and 1667 are missing from the analysis due to not being available. As we look to the crosstabulation. 99.2% of citizens have a gun in the home and 92% do not. 0.8 non-citizens have a gun in the home and 8.0% have no gun in the home. As we move on to the chi-square test, we can see have significance and therefore reject the null hypothesis that being an American citizen does not indicate gun ownership. Furthermore, our chi-square is 19.255. The test is significant at the .01 level which is well below the .05 threshold. We assume there is a relationship between American citizenship and gun ownership in the home. Now we look to the strength of this relationship. We look to the Cramer’s V, which is .149. A value of 0 indicates no relationship and a value of 1.0 indicated a perfect relationship (Laureate Education, 2016m). We can see there is a relationship but it is a weak relationship. Table 1 Being an American citizenship does depict gun ownership in a home for those that completed the survey. However, it is a weak relationship due to the number of respondents and the number of missing values.
