The absence of performing an analysis
1). In the absence of performing an analysis, make a prediction: What percent of Americans view their marriage as “very happy”, somewhat happy”, and “not too happy”? Then using the GSS2014 data, run a frequency on HAPMAR (Happiness of Marriage), and also create a pie chart. Describe your findings below and explain the extent to which your hypotheses conformed with the observations. What do these findings suggest about marriage happiness? Exclude missing cases.
Predicted Actual
Percent Percent
Very Happy __________ _________
Pretty Happy __________ __________
Not Too Happy ___________ _________
How close were your predictions? If they differed, what do you think was the reason?
What do these findings suggest about the state of marriage in America?
