I am trying to complete a project for my statistics class. We had to create a survey and run tests to understand out own hypothesis. I am looking at the following data:

What is the level of awareness of climate change issues and the willingness to take action to combat them among the general population?

My hypothesis would bethat many individuals beyond the age 15 have a general awareness of climate change issues and view it as a problem, but when it comes to taking action, like using less energy or adopting recycling techniques, it becomes problematic and inconvenient.

Motivation and Action Hypothesis: analyze the responses related to motivation levels and age and perform analysis to understand the relationship between concern levels and action.

I need to use statistics to solve this. I am most looking for using p values, z score, tables, etc to say whether or not there is a significant difference in the proportion of individuals who have motivation to take action.

30 responses:
