Alcohol Consumption and Balance Analysis

This assignment explores the relationship between alcohol consumption, balance ability, and age using statistical analysis. It presents Pearson correlation coefficients to demonstrate the significant negative correlation between standard drinks per week and balance level. Additionally, it highlights a strong positive correlation between years and alcohol consumption per week. The analysis supports the hypothesis that increased alcohol intake negatively impacts balance and that alcohol consumption tends to rise with age.

Results: Normality test outcome shows that null hypothesis is accepted because p<0.05. In
accordance with such aspect it can be presented that data is not related to normal distribution.
2. Correlation analysis
H0: There is no significant relationship takes place between standard drinks or alcohol
consumption and balance level.
H1: There is a significant relationship takes place between standard drinks or alcohol
consumption and balance level.

Interpretation: By doing statistical analysis, it has been found that negative correlation takes
place between the consumption level of drink per week and balance level such as-.93
respectively. In accordance with such outcome, it can be presented that null hypothesis is true
and other one rejected (Coakes, Steed & Price, 2008). Outcome derived through evaluation
shows that there is no significant relationship takes place between the variables undertaken for
investigation such as standard drinks per week and balance level. Thus, by taking into account
the outcome of evaluation it can be depicted that if alcohol consumption will increase then
balance in relation to standing with two feet in front of each other on a straight line will decrease
significantly. Hence, on the basis of overall evaluation and output assessed it can be mentioned
that researchers expectation pertaining to negative relationship between alcohol consumption and
balance level is appropriate.

Interpretation: Tabular presentation shows that positive and high or significant relationship
takes place between years and level of alcohol consumption per week. On the basis of such
aspect H0 is true which in turn shows that as per the year’s alcohol consumption increases to the
significant level.
