The document discusses the correlation between ACT scores and a measure of school belongingness. It determines that one of the variables, which has a sample size less than 30, is skewed and has many ties. As a result, a non-parametric test should be used to analyze the relationship between the two variables.
Skewed less than 30 (ties)
- 1. Are there many ties or a few/no ties within at least one of the skewed less than 30 variables in this relationship question? Many Ties Few/no ties
- 2. • What is the correlation between ACT scores (scaled) and sense of school belongingness (scaled 1-10)? At least one variable has Many ties
- 3. • What is the correlation between ACT scores (scaled) and sense of school belongingness (scaled 1-10)? −𝟐.𝟔𝟖𝟒 .𝟒𝟒𝟖 = -5.992 or negatively skewed At least one variable has Many ties
- 4. • What is the correlation between ACT scores (scaled) and sense of school belongingness (scaled 1-10)? −𝟐.𝟔𝟖𝟒 .𝟒𝟒𝟖 = -5.992 or negatively skewed Because the sample size for this skewed distribution is less than 30 we will use a non-parametric test. At least one variable has Many ties
- 5. • What is the correlation between ACT scores (scaled) and sense of school belongingness (scaled 1-10)? At least one variable has Many ties ACT_scores
- 6. • What is the correlation between ACT scores (scaled) and sense of school belongingness (scaled 1-10)? At least one variable has Many ties The skewed variable with less 30 has many ties ACT_scores
- 7. Are there many ties or a few/no ties within at least one of the skewed less than 30 variables in this relationship question? Many Ties Few/no ties
- 8. OR
- 9. • What is the correlation between ACT scores (scaled) and sense of school belongingness (scaled 1-10)? At least one variable has Few ties ACT_scores
- 10. • What is the correlation between ACT scores (scaled) and sense of school belongingness (scaled 1-10)? At least one variable has Few ties The skewed variable has a few ties ACT_scores
- 11. Are there many ties or a few/no ties within at least one of the skewed less than 30 variables in this relationship question? Many Ties Few/no ties
- 12. Return to the original question: Are there many ties or a few/no ties within at least one of the skewed less than 30 variables in this relationship question? Many Ties Few/no ties
