Clarifying options …
I believe that I confused the group by providing multiple examples. Any of these combinations are sufficient. You will notice that the one constant is that you will conduct a total of three calculations—one for Chi-Square, one for ANOVA, and one for Regression Analysis. The hypotheses and research questions are samples to illustrate the basic concept that you can mix and math the number of hypotheses and questions but that ultimately you will need to ensure that you have data sufficient to run each of three analyses.
Please contact me if you have questions. Thanks.
