2. You and a colleague get into a heated debate over the cause of student dissatisfaction on campus. Your colleague argues that there is a direct relationship between student unrest and periods of uncertainty among faculty due to changes in upper administration.  Outline how you would design a study to test your colleague's theory keeping in mind the criteria underlying causal logic.  (Consider using Criteria of cause and/or causal analysis).

(Note, you may need to recode variables such as with marital status depending on variable labels& think about hypothesis testing).

8. What is the relationship between passing the course (or failing it) and whether the student completed extra credit in the 3 sections?  Define each of the concepts and why the relationship does exist or doesn't?  (Note: think about what SPSS/Statistical procedures should be used to answer this question and Justify why you chose that test over at least 1 other test.

Extra Credit (worth up to 10 points): Compare and contrast the t-test and the One-way Anova Procedure. Are there any similarities & differences between the two types of tests?  What are the advantages to each (that is why would you want to use one versus another)?

In this assignment opportunity for an extra credit question which if answered correctly and appropriately will translate into 1 letter grade higher on the exam. Questions are going to deal with hypotheses, causality, and policy concerns and in somewhat of a broad nature. When noted, you will need to use the appropriate data to answer the questions. You will be evaluated based on how you develop an appropriate methodological design to respond to the question and how you analyze and interpret the data. Thus you should be responding to the questions as if you are hired to respond to the corresponding board pertaining to the questions. In other words, you need to explain what you are doing, why, and your interpretation of the results. You should respond in a way that assumes limited knowledge on my part.
