Discuss the below:
The data in the table that follows was collected by a large car manufacturer concerning a new prototype car called the CIELO. Thirty carefully selected respondents were shown the car and fully briefed about its capabilities. Here is the data, which includes age (intervally scaled), sex (nominal), social status (interval scale ranging from 10, low status, to 30, high status), attitude toward CIELO (interval scale ranging from 6, negative attitude, to 30, positive attitude) and intention to purchase CIELO (nominal, yes or no).
Is there any difference in male and female attitude scores toward the CIELO? Is there anything unusual about this data? Please note that we have to setup a hypothesis test of the difference in two population (female respondents and male respondents) means (attitude scores).
