A researcher is interested in gender differences in attitudes toward dating. Specifically, she wants to test the hypothesis that women are more accepting than men are of the idea that men should always pay on the first date, and thus women should have a more traditional view of dating than men do. Data are collected from 10 women and 10 men using a scale that measures dating behaviors and attitudes. Higher scores mean more traditional dating attitudes. Answer the following:

1) What are the independent and dependent variables in this study?

2) What inferential statistic discussed thus far could be used to answer this question?

3) Discuss your process of answering questions one and two.
