  1. Julia wants to know whether there is a difference between whether students have a positive or negative perception of students with or without autism. She creates a 4X4 grid (example below) where she collects data for students who fall into each category.

Student has Autism Student does not have Autism
Negative Perception
Positive Perception

She expects that more students would have negative perceptions of students with autism but is pleasantly surprised when there were no differences between whether a student does or does not identify with autism and their perceptions (p > .05).
