The following scenarios were examined using the Afrobarometer Dataset with a mean
age of 37.23.
Scenario 1
The research question for the first scenario explores the relationship between trust in police and
the presence of democracy. The dependent variable is the trust in police with an ordinal level of
measurement where the values are ranked intervals (Frankfort-Nachmias et al., 2021). The
independent variable is the presence of democracy with a nominal level of measurement where
the values are not ranked. The null hypothesis states that there is no relationship between trust in
police and the presence of democracy. The alpha value is .05, and a p-value below .05 will result
in the null hypothesis being rejected.
