How do I use the GSS Data of 2012 and 2014 to identify the improvements of people's lives after Barrack Obama has been elected as the president of United States? Which indicators do you think I should consider and What statistical tests can I apply to find out patterns and trends? Thanks
you simply take a variable for the 2 years.
Take equal samples of the data from both the years and then perform the an independent 2 samples t test to check if there is an improvement in the people's lives after barack obama was elected
The hypothesis is
H0 : there was no signficant improvement in people's lives after barrack obama was elected
H1 :there was a signficant improvement in people's lives after barrack obama was elected
remember as we are interested in the "improvement" part , hence it would be a 1 tail t test (right)
You can for instanbce select variables such as Happy or Income to see if there was a signficant improvement , consider these variables as an indicator for people lives
