The document discusses the correlation between ACT scores and a measure of school belongingness. It determines that one of the variables, which has a sample size less than 30, is skewed and has many ties. As a result, a non-parametric test should be used to analyze the relationship between the two variables.

1. Are there many ties or a few/no ties within at least one
of the skewed less than 30 variables in this relationship
question?
Many Ties Few/no ties

2. • What is the correlation between ACT scores (scaled) and
sense of school belongingness (scaled 1-10)?
At least one variable has Many ties

3. • What is the correlation between ACT scores (scaled) and
sense of school belongingness (scaled 1-10)?
−𝟐.𝟔𝟖𝟒
.𝟒𝟒𝟖
= -5.992 or negatively skewed
At least one variable has Many ties

4. • What is the correlation between ACT scores (scaled) and
sense of school belongingness (scaled 1-10)?
−𝟐.𝟔𝟖𝟒
.𝟒𝟒𝟖
= -5.992 or negatively skewed
Because the sample size for this skewed distribution
is less than 30 we will use a non-parametric test.
At least one variable has Many ties

5. • What is the correlation between ACT scores (scaled) and
sense of school belongingness (scaled 1-10)?
At least one variable has Many ties
ACT_scores

6. • What is the correlation between ACT scores (scaled) and
sense of school belongingness (scaled 1-10)?
At least one variable has Many ties
The skewed variable with less 30 has many ties
ACT_scores

7. Are there many ties or a few/no ties within at least one
of the skewed less than 30 variables in this relationship
question?
Many Ties Few/no ties

8. OR

9. • What is the correlation between ACT scores (scaled) and
sense of school belongingness (scaled 1-10)?
At least one variable has Few ties
ACT_scores

10. • What is the correlation between ACT scores (scaled) and
sense of school belongingness (scaled 1-10)?
At least one variable has Few ties
The skewed variable has a few ties
ACT_scores

11. Are there many ties or a few/no ties within at least one
of the skewed less than 30 variables in this relationship
question?
Many Ties Few/no ties

12. Return to the original question:
Are there many ties or a few/no ties within at least one
of the skewed less than 30 variables in this relationship
question?
Many Ties Few/no ties
