dc.description.abstractA questionnaire was developed to ascertain the data necessary to test the hypotheses and draw conclusions about the related questions. Each hypothesis was tested through methods of non-parametric statistics. The Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-ranks test was utilized to test HO and HO(, 1). The Mann Whitney U Test was used to test HO(, 2) and HO(, 3). A significant difference was determined for HO, HO(, 1), and HO(, 3). No significant difference was noted for HO(, 4). Each item from the questionnaire was also tested using non-parametric statistics. The Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-ranks test and the Chi Square Test were utilized to determine differences within each item. Frequency and percents were also reviewed to enhance the findings.en_US
