Question: Graduate student Angela holiday conducted a study examining perception of combat veterans suffering from mental illness. Participants read descriptions of a person, either a man or women, who had recently returned from combat in Iraq and who was suffering from depression. Participants rated the situation (combat in Iraq) with respect to how traumatic they believed it was; they also rated the combat veterans on a range of variables, including scales that assessed how masculine and how feminine they perceived the person to be. Among their analyses, Holiday examined the relation between the perception of the situation as being traumatic and the perception of the veteran being masculine or feminine. When the person was male, the perception of the situation of the situation as perception of the man as feminine but was only weakly positively correlation with the perception of the man as masculine. What would you expect when the person was female? The accompanying table presents some of the data for the perception of the situation as traumatic (on a scale from 1-10 where 10 is the most traumatic) and the perception of the women as feminine (on a scale from 1-10, 10 beings most feminine)

Using this data perform the 5 steps of hypothesis testing to explore the relation between trauma and femininity

a. Step 1: identify the population, distribution, and assumptions

b. Step 2 State the null and research hypothesis

c. Step 3 Determine the characteristics of the comparison distribution

d. Step 4 Determine the critical values or cur offs, assuming a two-tailed test with a p level of 0.05

e. Step 5 make a decision including an evaluation of the size of the correlation of Cohen’s guidelines
