 State whether the data you have chosen to work with originated in the GSS site or in the University Library. If a dataset was chosen from the library data, you must state the specific location and dataset you extracted. o My data was collected from the GSS site  Choose and list at least three variables (Hint: choose two independent and one dependent), along with the associated survey question and response choices. o Variables:  INDEPENDENT VARIABLES:  socioeconomic status  length of time between high school graduation to college graduation  DEPENDENT VARIABLE:  Bachelor degree earned  Create a research question using all three of your variables. o RQ: Is there a relationship between socioeconomic status, length of time between high school graduation to college graduation, and type of degree earned?  Create a null and alternative hypothesis that supports your research question. o Hypothesis : There is a relationship between socioeconomic status, length of time between high school graduation to college graduation, and type of degree earned o Null Hypothesis : There is no relationship between socioeconomic status, length of time between high school graduation to college graduation, and type of degree earned I personally am one of the students who did not enroll in college immediately after high school. There are many factors leading to the choice to not enroll right away, and perhaps going at a later time. According to Wine, Bryan, & Siegel (2013), a review of the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study, approximately 37 percent of 2011-2012 academic year cohort of undergraduate students waited a year or longer after high school graduation to attend college. Although I did not start college until 27, I did complete my degree in nursing and went on to get my Masters in Business several years later. However, after reviewing data from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988, Niu and Tienda (2013) found that delayers were 40 percent less likely than those students who enrolled on time post high school to a baccalaureate granting institution four years after high school from a sample of students who graduated in 2002 from a Texas High School. Although I did not enroll in college until ten years after high school graduation, I beat those odds. Niu, S., & Tienda, M. (2013). Delayed enrollment and college plans: Is there a postponement penalty? Journal of Higher Education, 84(1), 1–26. doi:10.1353/jhe.2013.0007
