Data Analysis

This assignment requires us to analyze the data we have been provided in the spreadsheet and come up with two research questions and hypotheses.  This assignment is sort of backwards to me.  I did the psych undergrad thing so I'm accustomed to collecting my data after devising my hypothesis, but this works just as well.

Research Question 1
Does age affect one's Millenial score?
   Hypothesis
   Those who are 29 years of age and younger will have higher Millenial scores than their older classemates.
   Null Hypothesis
   Age will not be a factor in determining one's Millenial score.
   Independent Variable                           Dependent Variable
   Age                                                         Millenial score

Research Question 2
Does a non-teaching status have a positive correlative effect on quiz scores?
    Hypothesis
    Those who are not currently teaching score higher on quiz scores.
    Null Hypothesis
    Teaching status has no correlative effect on quiz scores
    Independent Variable                          Dependent Variable
    Teaching status                                      Quiz score
   
This assignment fits ISTE NETS T standard 3 because we have analyzed this data and will now be using this information to collaborate with our peers in a digital class setting.
