SPSS Homework 1: Research Questions and HypothesesMKT220 Business Research MethodsResearch questions are what you want to know to solve a marketing problem, such as, Is this market segment brand-loyal? When you ask people what they think with a questionnaire, those are survey questions, not research questions. You would never ask a consumer, Are you brand-loyal? For the AMC 2015 Prospect Study, check the clients kickoff event talk slides for details on research questions and expected deliverables.A hypothesis is more ready for statistical testing with related variables stated (normally one independent variable and one dependent variable). Using the same example, Is this market segment brand-loyal? you could state it as a hypothesis, Female segment is more brand-loyal than the male segment (or Female and male segments are equally brand-loyal). We analyze the dataset to see whether we can support the hypothesis.You will examine each research question by testing at least one null hypothesis in SPSS. Identify the one or more null hypotheses necessary to examine fully each research question. In other words, you need to select the matching variables from the survey for each research question and develop pairs of null and alternative hypotheses for these each research question.For each null hypothesis, identify:the independent variable(s) and dependent variable, if any, which you will use to test the null hypothesisthe scale (such as 1= strongly disagree and 7 = strongly agree) and measurement level of each independent and dependent variablethe statement for the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesisResearch Questions:1.
