Economics and Student Affairs Project

Research question: find that there is statistically significant evidence that the responses to the question if your expectations for studying in Economics at UVic have been met? differ depending upon the respondent’s choice of department. If the distribution of responses varies considerably between the different study hours categories.

2. or if this is different between boys and girls.

3. or if the study time of girls is longer than boys.

Expectation and Faculty to Choose

Test statistical significant

## 
##  Fisher's Exact Test for Count Data
## 
## data:  expectation_faculty
## p-value = 0.5485
## alternative hypothesis: two.sided

## 
##  Fisher's Exact Test for Count Data with simulated p-value (based
##  on 1e+05 replicates)
## 
## data:  expectation_faculty
## p-value = 0.549
## alternative hypothesis: two.sided

Our Fisher’s Exact Test for Count Data with simulated p-value revealed that the expectation and faculty to chooser of student are independent ( p = 0.55 ).

Test statistical significant

## 
##  Fisher's Exact Test for Count Data
## 
## data:  expectation_gender
## p-value = 0.1778
## alternative hypothesis: two.sided

## 
##  Fisher's Exact Test for Count Data with simulated p-value (based
##  on 1e+05 replicates)
## 
## data:  expectation_gender
## p-value = 0.1781
## alternative hypothesis: two.sided

Our Fisher’s Exact Test for Count Data with simulated p-value revealed that the expectation and gender of student are independent ( p = 0.17 ). The expectation of student did not differ by gender.

Predict students’ expectation

Plot for study hours and how easy to make friends deciding expectation

The more hours student study and easier for student to make friends, the higher probability for them to meet their expectation.

Not very well, but many students some what agree and strongly agree.
