Describe the steps you would go through to flesh out the example given in this chapter about the course evaluations. In other words, how might you go about determining whether there truly is a relationship between grades and course evaluations?

In Chapter 1 we discussed a study of allowances for fourth-grade children. We considered that study again in the exercises for Chapter 2, where you generated data that might have been found in such a study.

a. Consider how you would go about testing the research hypothesis that boys receive more allowance than girls. What would be the null hypothesis?

b. Would you use a one- or a two-tailed test?

c. What results might lead you to reject the null hypothesis and what might lead you to retain it?

d. What single thing might you do to make this study more convincing?
