Solved | Relationship between Work Out Hours and Employment Status_2

QUESTION 1Determining the relationship between Work Out Hours and Employment StatusAll statistical tests require null and alternative hypotheses. In the context of given casescenario, the following null and alternative hypotheses need to be tested:H0: No difference exists in the number of hours spent working out among employed andunemployed people.H1: Difference exists in the number of hours spent working out among employed andunemployed people.As the variable 'FitnessHours' is measured at ratio level and 'EmployStatus' is ofcategorical nature, containing two categories, a t-test for two independent means needs to beused. Here, the variable ‘FitnessHours’ represents the number of hours spent working out eachyear. On the other hand, ‘EmployStatus’ variable is representative of the employment status ofpeople that have been considered for this particular research in order to achieve valuableinsights in regards to the Marketing Research Project of Regional Health Advisory Board.On an average (mean), the total number of hours spent working out each year foremployed people is M = 69.51 with an SD = 76.995. On the other hand, the mean total numberof hours spent working out each year for unemployed people is M = 90.85 with an SD =121.37. The population variances are taken to be unequal, F =4.031, p = 0.045 < 0.05.1

It is important to note that Levene's Test for Equality of Variances requires homogenityof variances while undertaking an Independent Samples Test. The t-statistic has a degree offreedom of df = 314.855 for 'Fitness Hours' where Equal variances are assumed and df= -2.014wherein equal variances are not assumed. This difference occurs mainly due to the manner inwhich these values have been calculated (Cronk, 2017). On the other hand the p = .045 < .05wherein equal Variances are not assumed, which means that the null hypothesis is rejected(H0) and Alternative Hypothesis stands accepted (H1). Hence, based on the p-value, it can beclaimed that the number of hours spent working out each year differs significantly betweenemployed and unemployed, at the 0.05 significance level.QUESTION 2Association between Total Personal Income and Gambling ExpenditureIn the context of given case scenario, the following null and alternative hypotheses needto be tested:H0: No association exists between a individual's total personal income and expenditure incurredon gambling activities by them.H1: An association exists between a individual's total personal income and expenditureincurred on gambling activities by them.Also, since both variables Income and GamblingsSpend are measured at the ratio level,a correlation analysis is most suitable in order to ascertain the association between the totalpersonal income of an individual and their total amount of expenditure incurred on gamblingactivities. Correlation helps in establishing a link between two variables, thus, enabling theuser such as the National Budgeting Service Organisation to know whether or not the two2
