Choose one of the following two assignments to complete this week. Do not do both assignments. Identify your assignment choice in the title of your submission.

How are final statistics (t-obtained, chi-square obtained, or F obtained) reported in the article? Based on the table or summary of final statistics, what conclusions do the authors make? Do they find support for their original hypothesis? Explain your answer. Option #2: Sampling Technique In 2016, Australian researchers conducted a study on the fear of crime, “(Re)assessing Contemporary “Fear of Crime” Measures within an Australian Context.”  (Links to an external site.)
