2. What is the null hypothesis? What is the research hypothesis?

3. Participants/Sampling Method: Describe your sampling method. What is your sample size? Who is your population of interest? How representative is the sample of the population under study?

Data Analysis: Describe the statistical analysis. What are the requirements of the chi square? (HINT: This should be a chi square test of independence). What is your IV? What is your DV? What level of measurement are your IV and DV? What is your alpha level?

4. Results & Discussion: Did you reject the null hypothesis? What information did you use to lead you to your conclusion? Was your observed p value greater than or less than your alpha? How do you interpret the findings? NOTE: You can just make up numbers, but include your made-up p value.
