Q) A researcher was interested in whether an individual's interest in politics was
influenced by their level of education and gender. They recruited a random sample of
participants to their study and asked them about their interest in politics, which they
scored from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a greater interest in politics. The
researcher then divided the participants by gender (Male/Female) and then again by
level of education (School/College/University).
If the significant value (p) > 0.05, then accept the null hypothesis
If the significant value (p) < 0.05, then accept the Alternative hypothesis.

For education level school and college level data are normally distributed and
university level data are not normally distributed.

a. POLITICAL INTEREST is constant when GENDER = FEAMLE. It has been omitted.
b. Lilliefors Significance Correction
For gender the data is normally distributed, because significant values are greater
than 0.05
Above table shows that there is separate effect (individual effect of gender and
individual effect of education level) on individual interest in politics and
interaction effect (effect of gender and education level simultaneously) on
interest of individual in politics.
The interaction effect shows the significant value (p) is 0.778 which means P >
0.05, so that null hypothesis is accepted (there is no significant influenced by
education and gender).

Based on observed means.
The error term is Mean Square(Error) = 721.878.
Post hoc test shows that the influence between independent variables i.e.,
college, school and university.
The significant value (p) shows that there is no significant difference between
these independent variables, because all significant values were > 0.05
