both

Statistical Measures

F=0.04 p=0.98932

Each pair of values is compared below using the Scheffé test;
middle child oldest child p=0.97425
middle child only child p=0.95941
middle child youngest child p=0.99582
oldest child only child p=0.99574
oldest child youngest child p=0.99585
only child youngest child p=0.98365

Evaluation
Data does not support my hypothesis
Summary of findings
I found out that even though having a brother or sister causes alot of stress it is the same with older ones, littles ones or none at all. Even though only children had less stress it wasn't enough to make a definition between the others. The middle child suffered the most stress. I should be kinder to my little brother!
Conclusion
If I were to change the survey I would probably put in one question and that would be: All in alll, How much stress do you suffer? Also I would not give this survey to only children and everyone I give it to would have to have a brother or sister.
