A sociologist researching the link between race and inequalitybelieves that younger people and/or people with more educationgenerally have more tolerant views. To test this hypothesis, thesociologist gathers a random sample of 10 Caucasians ranging in agefrom teenager to elderly and asks them for their beliefs aboutAfrican-Americans on a 10-point scale (1 representing acceptance ofnegative beliefs, 10 representing acceptance of positive beliefs),and number of completed years in school (including college ifapplicable). Check to see if his idea about the relationshipbetween age and racial stereotyping and education is correct byconducting the correct comparative analysis and interpreting theresults in context with APA notation in your response and an APAstyle table depicting the results.
