Test 1.1

1. Can you apply hypothesis testing to data coming from a census? Why?
(Census is complete enumeration of a population).

Answer:

No, because census is an official count of survey of population, typically

recording various details of individuals and so, applying hypothesis to data
from census is not necessary.. Gathering data from all population is very time
consuming that’s why we have hypothesis testing to assess the plausibility of a
hypothesis by using sample data. Such data may come from a larger
population.

2. A research study examines the relationship between "Job Satisfaction" and

"Salary Levels" of public-school teachers. State the Null and Alternative
hypotheses.

The null hypothesis would be:

H0: There is no significant relationship between job satisfaction and salary

levels of public-school teachers.

The alternative hypothesis would be:

H1: There is a significant relationship between job satisfaction and salary level
of public-school teachers.
3. Suggest how we can measure the variable "Job Satisfaction" and the variable
"Salary Levels".

Answer:

Job satisfaction and salary level can be measured by means of a 5-point

Likert scale ranging from very unhappy/strongly disagree and very happy/
strongly agree with neutral as the central point. This can be done through
questionnaire as a mode of data collection.

To measure how strong a relationship between two variables (job

satisfaction and salary level), a correlational coefficient is used. Graphs, charts
and tables can also be used to see clearly the relationship between the two
variables. Example is bar graph as it shows the frequency and percentage of a
variable through a series of vertical bars.

4. Hypothesis testing requires that samples are selected randomly or through

probability sampling. Google search the probability sampling and non-
probability sampling techniques. Give the definition of each.

Answer:

Probability sampling is defined as a sampling technique in which the

researcher chooses samples from a larger population using a method based on
the theory of probability. A participant is considered as a probability sample
trough random selection.
 Non-probability sampling is defined as a sample technique in which the
researcher selects samples based on the subjective judgement of the researcher
rather than random selection. This sampling method depends heavily on the
expertise of the researcher.
