Document Summary
Hypothesis is made up of a: dependent variable. Are the product of the concept-indicator link (operationalization) Values of an indicator vary according to case. Univariate analysis (ie. gender analysis is of only one variable) We usually have more than one variable. Multivariate analysis more than two variables. Proper use of the laptop during class time is determined by the gender of the user. You need to make a choice and then make a statement as to which variable is independent and which is dependent. Our statement says that gender is the independent variable and the laptop use is the dependent variable. Intervening variable could include the colour of the laptop. You may find that there is a positive relationship between gender and laptop use, ie. females use their laptops more appropriately than males. The higher the female population, the more appropriate the laptop use.
