Reconsider the previous exercise. Carry out a theory-based test to investigate whether the sample data provide strong evidence of an association between the sex and goals of fourth to sixth graders. Follow up, if applicable, with confidence intervals for any differences you may find. Be sure to include the following in your report:

€¢ The appropriate null and alternative hypotheses

€¢ The statistic you are using as well as its observed value

€¢ The p-value

€¢ An appropriate conclusion that comments on significance, estimation, causation, and generalization in the context of the study
