Family Study:Siblings Vs Children “Is the number of siblings in a person’s family related to the number of children that person has or plans to have in their own family?” Data Compiled and presented by: Daniel Hobbs Paul Kelsch AngiLuong
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine if people are influenced by the amount of siblings they have when they are considering the number of children they want. The idea of creating equilibrium is likely and the average number of siblings is expected to be similar to the number of expected children. This will be an observational study with 30 subjects total with a minimal age of 18 asked how many siblings they had and how many children they would like to have in order to make an educated comparison. Religion, gender, sexual orientation, economic status and geography are likely to be factors in this study and the random sampling should help to lower any specific factor from gaining enough subjects to affect the overall study.
Study Design: The study design is to survey 30 individuals and ask them the number of siblings in their family and also the number of children they have and/or plan to have in their own family. We wrote up a survey and randomly selected 30 individuals and gave them the survey, then recorded our findings. After collecting the data, a statistical analysis was done to determine if the variables were related.
Line of Regression Correlations: Linear Correlation Coefficient: -0.113 Equation of the Line: y =-0.105x + 4.306
Conclusion Because the linear correlation coefficient was smaller than the critical value, there is no evidence of correlation. Given this data, the number of siblings a person has is not related to the number of children they have/plan to have in their own family.
