Research question: Is there a significant difference in the respondents’ marital status and their gun

ownership at home?

Table 1 shows the relationship between the respondents’ marital status and gun ownership at home. It
shows that the difference in marital status of the respondents has a significant moderate relationship with their gun
ownership at home with a p-value of .000 that is less than .05 level of significance (two-tailed) (r=.236, p < .05). It
means that the respondents’ marital status and their gun ownership at home are correlated with each other.

Table 2 shows the results of the linear regression analysis. The standardized beta coefficients and t-
statistics results of the independent variables. namely: Marital Status and Gun Ownership at Home. The level of
significance is set at α = 0.05. A t-statistics p value of <0.05 will reject the null hypothesis indicating that the
coefficient of the variable is not equal to zero.

The standardized beta coefficient of the respondent’s marital status is .236, while t-statistics is t = 9.92, and
p=.000. This indicates that in individual capacity, the marital status is a significant predictor of the respondents’ gun
ownership at home.

Research question: Is there a significant difference in the respondents’ marital status and different race
towards their satisfaction in their financial situation?

Table 3 shows the relationship between the respondents’ marital status and race towards their satisfaction in
their financial situation. It shows that the difference in marital status of the respondents has a significant moderate
relationship towards their satisfaction in their financial situation with a p-value of .000 that is less than .05 level of
significance (two-tailed) (r=.179, p < .05).

On the other hand, the difference in the race of the respondents has a significant moderate relationship
towards their satisfaction in their financial situation with a p-value of .000 that is less than .05 level of significance
(two-tailed) (r=.081, p < .05).

This means that Marital status and their race correlates toward their gun ownership at home.

 Table 4 shows the results of the linear regression analysis. The standardized beta coefficients and t-
statistics results of the independent variables. namely: Race of the Respondents, Marital Status and Satisfaction with
their Financial Situation. The level of significance is set at α = 0.05. A t-statistics p value of <0.05 will reject the null
hypothesis indicating that the coefficient of the variable is not equal to zero.

On the one hand, the standardized beta coefficient of the race of the respondent is .053, while t-statistics is t
= 2.689, and p=.007. This indicates that in individual capacity, the race of the respondent is a significant predictor of
the respondents’ satisfaction of their financial situation.

On the other hand, the standardized beta coefficient of marital status of the respondents is .170 with a t-
statistics result of t = 8.599, p = .000. This indicates that marital status is a significant predictor of the respondents’
satisfaction of their financial situation.
