Use the "Officer Force2.sav" dataset for the assignment, and complete the steps outlined below. 1. Identify the independent variable: _______________________ Identify the dependent variable: _______________________ 2. Based on the selected independent and dependent variables in Step 1, identify the appropriate bivariate test to generate. Identify the appropriate bivariate test: ____________________________ 3. Provide the information necessary to justify your selection of the bivariate statistical test. In addition, type below an explanation for why you selected the bivariate test. 4. State the alternative and null hypotheses for the test. Alternative Hypothesis: Null Hypothesis: 5. Generate the bivariate test to assess the research and null hypotheses. Interpret the probability statistic to determine whether the null hypothesis is accepted or rejected. Do you accept or reject the null hypothesis? ______________________

Please select the appropriate statement from (a) or (b) below, based off of your decision on the null hypothesis: a) There is a statistically significant relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable. b) There is not a statistically significant relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable. Explain below why you made the decisions you made about the null hypothesis and whether the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable is statistically significant.
