There is a significant relationship between desired salary and the importance of money vs. happiness.

|
| GREAT! |

Statistical Measures
Pearson Correlation Coefficient: 0.21; p=0.42.
Values near zero
indicate no correlation. Values near one indicate a high degree of
correlation, while values near negative one (-1) indicate that the
measures are opposite, ie that a high value of Money
tends to
accompany a low value of Money or Happiness and vice versa.

The relationship is what we predicted. Between my predictor and my outcome they are both statistically significant. The data does support our hypothesis.
|
|
We found that people who want to make more money are more likely to agree that it is more important to make alot of money that to be happy in their career. This means beyond my study that it is very likely to make more money and not necessarily be happy in your career. This may apply in the real world if you would want to ask somebody if you like your job or a question like that you could prove to them that is most likely for them to say no because of the tests/studies that you have proven.

|
We think that we would test the hypothesis differently by allowing the older and retired people to try the survey. We could also give this suvey to different groups of gender to get more positive results.
