The relation is the same as I predicted. The relation between my predictor and my outcome are statistically significant. The data supports my hypothesis
|
|
In general, many people would or probably would read if they had more time to.
|
|
To test this same hypothesis I would set out a specific time at school for people and have them read and keep a reading log and ask them then how much they read now to see how much more people read now that they have more time. I would ask ages 12-16 these same questions.
