Use the gssFT2012.dta (note “FT”—not the gss2012.dtav) data file to answer the following question. Create a table that shows the average income (coninc) by level of happiness (happy). In your table, format the numbers so there are only whole numbers or no numbers to the right of the decimal point. Then, test whether the average income is the same for each level of happiness.
Describe your results for a scholarly journal in a paragraph.
Using a one-way analysis of variance, we examined the average income by three reported levels of happiness. Our results showed a statistically significant difference F (2, 842) = 9.55, p = 0.001. People who are very happy earn 68,705 on average (SD = 52,068) compared to the people who are pretty happy who earn 57,288 on average (SD = 47,283), and people who are not too happy earning 43,330 on average (SD = 36,978). Eta-squared indicated that only 2.2 percent of the variation in happiness can be explained by income.
