INTRODUCTIONQuantitative research methods play a crucial role from investigation purposes as theyhelp in the accumulation of raw data. This is helpful in quantifying the research and providingempirical results by way of statistical, mathematical and computational methodologies (Bryman,2017). This report aims to provide information regarding the data collected by a team funded bythe local council so as to assess the ways in which young people can be encouraged to study artsin the area. For this purpose, various SPSS models have been utilised so as to achieve successfulcompletion of hypotheses testing.QUESTION 1Hypotheses:H1: Difference between Week 1 and Week 2 in attitudes exists specifically for those with lowestSES.H0: No Difference between Week 1 and Week 2 in attitudes exists specifically for those withlowest SES.a. Description of the AnalysisFor the purpose of achieving insights regarding whether H1 is true or not, CompareMeans methodology has been undertaken. Under this tool of analysis, One-Sample T-test hasbeen conducted so as to determine the difference between the Week 1 and 2 data provided forthose having Low Socio-Economic Status (SES). It is important to note that SES is a categoricalvariable including four sub-categories viz. Low, Medium-Low, Medium-High and High. On theother hand, Weeks 1 as well as 2 measure attitudes towards arts after first and second eventrespectively.The rationale behind choosing this methodology is that One-Sample T-test helps indetermination of whether a sample has a specific mean or not. Also, one of its assumptions statesthat there should be no significant outliers (Hinton, McMurray and Brownlow, 2014). For thedata given, this is true since only those variables have been chosen which recorded low SES forWeek 1 and 2, thus, enabling simplification of data to a further extent. Since there is acomparison between Week 1 and Week 2 in relation to Low SES, this tool seems to be the mostappropriate.1
