Question about IA

Recommended Posts

So my IA is due tomorrow and my topic is on finding a correlation between gender and time spent in the library. I have already done mean and std for my simple tests, in addition to chi-squared. Now the problem is, I am not sure of what other test to make use of. Most of my variables are categorical, and so I am stuck. PLS HELP URGENTLY

Assuming you've modelled your data with a normal distribution (hence mean and stdev?), you could also probably model them with a t-distribution by finding the variance of the whole population instead of just your sample. This is a bit advanced stuff for studies (it's hl paper 3 material), but nothing else comes to my mind right now. You can look up how to find the variance of the population, it's a very simple formula if you know the size of your current sample.

Good luck
