Problem Set 2: Chi Square Test for Independence

Research Scenario: A psychology student at a university is curious whether students in different majors (IV) have different class time preferences (DV), or whether class time preference is independent of major. After doing some preliminary research, she chooses three different majors and recruits 10 volunteers from each major. She then asks them to choose their preferred class time—either morning or afternoon. The results are listed in the table below.

Using this table, enter the data into a new SPSS data file and run a Chi Square Test for Independence to test whether class time preference is independent of major. Use the weighted cases method. Create a clustered bar chart to show the relationship between the variables.

	Morning	Afternoon	TOTAL
Engineering	3	7	10
Psychology	6	4	10
Business	5	5	10
TOTAL	14	16	30

1. Paste SPSS output. (7 pts)

2. Write an APA-style Results section based on your analysis. Include your clustered bar chart as an APA-style figure as demonstrated in the APA writing presentation. (Results = 8 pts; Graph = 5 pts)
