Based on data from the GSS10SDSS, we examine the relationship between highest educational degree and agreement to the statement, "Financial dependence on others is one of my greatest fears about old age." The variable FINDEPND is measured on an ordinal scale: 1-strongly agree, 2-agree, 3-neither, 4-disagree, and 5-strongly disagree. Is there a relationship between educational attainment and level of agreement to the statement?
a. Set alpha at .01 and test the null hypothesis of equal means.
b. What is the eta-squared for this model?
