Abstract

A number of students join colleges from high school with exemplary grades but along the

course their performances begin to vary as some fail to up to the score that they had managed in

their previous grade. As such a number of activities and conditions were very highly deemed to

be the main cause of all this struggles; family status, and the time spent on the social media. Due

to this we decided to conduct a research on the same and establish the truth.

This report entails all the finding and visual presentations on the relationship between

time students spend on social media and the family status they come from. The report uses data

that was collected from the perceived students to be coming from those families and in its

analysis it boroughs a lot for presentation in visual. A number of methods were employed in data

collet ion some of them included, use of questionnaire, oral interviews and a few peer to peer

chats. Also internet was very helpful in determining other data that was then run against the data

collected from the field.

Relationship between Instagram Use and Family Status

Problem statement

A large number of students have been found to perform very differently with their

academic works and this has been greatly attributed to where they come from and specifically

their respective family structure (Naik, & Reddy, 2018).as such this essay aims to establish if there

is any possibility that the student who are associated with either, living alone, staying with single

parent or staying with parents could be a real issue in a student’s performance.

Hypothesis:

Null hypothesis:

Here its assumed that numerous student that stay alone will for sure spend more time on

instagram compares to others staying with their parents or just single parents.

Alternative Hypothesis:

In this case the alternative hypothesis reveals that students that alone will for sure spend

more time on the social media while those staying with the single parent takes the least time of

the three groupings on social media.

Method

Data collection or apparatus

The process of obtaining data that has been used in formulating this report involved an

arrays of means. There was use of questionnaire that helped in getting the general views on this

topic, there was also use of internet to obtain more data that was then combined before settling

on the final information. This was basically after students were identified into three groups

depending on their family structure; those that stay alone, those that stay with single parents and

those staying with both parents.

Procedure:

The researcher did develop questionnaires and had them divided into the three categories

representing the three groups of the student that is; those living alone, living with both parents

and those residing alone. They issued the questionnaires to each group who then helped in

providing the data on the same after an overnight timing on the time each person on social

media.

This was all conducted having given prior notification to all the parties that were actively

involved. Not all the contacted persons accepted the call others rejected giving lame excuses why

they could not be part of it .In addition to this exercise, there was also an extensive search for

more than online, which was then run against the one collected from the student before settling

on the final data to be used for the project.

The collected data is to be tabulated and used in the analysis which then will lead to

visual representation of the same in pie charts together with tables.

Result

This project majorly employed majorly the use of anova tables as the data involved

contained countable data that involved comparison of more than one data set. With it, we were

able to calculate the mean and the variance of the result.inaddition we managed to find the values

of p-value and the function ratio that was very instrumental in ascertaining the hypothesis. The

statistical result can be found in the excel file attached .or a summary version of the result in the

subsequent section of the discussion.

Discussion

Relationship between time students spend on social media and their family status.

A number of factors a proved by the studies do interfere with student’s behavior on social

media .this report having been compiled for the purpose of studying on how the family structure

or status do interfere with the students behavior ,we came up with a number of presentation on

the same.

Anova single factor table:

With this we were able to pick on all the variables availed from the data collected and

was used for evaluations (Özakın, & Kaya, 2020). We first came up with an Anova table for a

single factor basically for trying to evaluate the null hypothesis .it through this single factor

Anova table that one is able to validate the null hypothesis in this report.

SS-sum of squares refers to the sum of all the square deviations of all the observation that were

made.

df –it comes in play when a given number of matched values are stacked.

MS-it the “mean square” which is found when you get the quotient of the total summation that

has a given allowance. That is the quotient of row and SS

F ratio here we get by the quotient of one MS and another. And lastly, P values which has been

established by evaluating value of F and the two degree of freedom (9=FDIST the formula in

excel.)

Anova: Two Factor with No Duplicate

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH 7

Using this two factor table the report was able to evaluate the alternative hypothesis just as

indicated. The data provided had no any form of duplicated data and thus the best way for

increased accuracy was using the two factor table with no duplicate (Aaen, & Dalsgaard, 2016).

We did calculate the mean square for every one of the given two main effects of the data that is

the main square by putting into consideration all of the observations.

Pie chart

Then with the pie chart the report has brought out a fully evaluation of all the average time

difference spent among the three groups of family status. From the chart it’s obvious that those

students living alone have spent more time on average on the social media
