The age at which a person had their first date affects the age that they think people should be allowed to date at.

The graph shows no relationship; the line is pretty much flat. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient is very close to 0, so I assume that there is no relationship between my variables.

Statistical Measures
Pearson Correlation Coefficient: 0.01; p=0.5.
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 first dated
tends to
accompany a low value of first date and vice versa.

The relationship is not what I expected. The predictor and outcome seem to not be related at all.
|
I think that this means that people who dated at a young or old age are not more or less likely to believe in dating at a younger or older age.
I think that this explains why parents or grandparents don't want their kids to date early, even though they might have dated a lot younger than their kids necessarily do.
|
|
I would only give the survey to people above 25 who have dated in their life because in this survey, most of the participants actually had never dated. So, I think that if I conducted this test in this way, it might change the outcome to agree with my hypothesis.
