The effect of average income on the alcohol consumption rate per person
A study have been conducted using the data set gathered by Gapminder organization for data of more than 150 countries obtained from the UN. To study the effect of average income on the alcohol consumption rate.
In order to perform the analysis where the input is categorical (income below or above $2000 USD, denoted by 0 and 1) and the output is also categorical regarding the alcohol consumption rate (below 3 liters, 3 liters to 9 liters, and above 9 liters) denoted in 0,1 and 2
so far, it seems graphically that the countries with average income below $2000 are having a higher alcohol consumption rate.
to prove this theory , a chi- squared test need to be provided for the categorical input and output data.
the results of chi square was as following.
the p value was equal to 1.24*10^-9, indicating the significant difference and thus rejecting the null hypothesis that says there is no significant relationship between average income and alcohol consumption.
later on , w need to identify which category of alcohol usage is significantly affected by the average income, thus we need to used a post hoc test of bonferoni , so we will compare the p value with 0.016which is divided the number of categories which is 3 .
and thus we will perform chi square comparison between the 3 alcohol levels
the result will be as shown
there was a significant difference between the first and third and the second and third category , which is shown by the low p-value with was far smaller than the Bonferonni probability calculated, And thus, rejecting the null hypothesis that says there is no significant difference between alcohol levels of the first and third category and the second and Third category. indicating that we can divide into two categories , below 9 liters and more that 9 liters of alcohol consumption
In conclusion , the lower average income in a country below 2000 USD is more likely to have an increase in the alcohol consumption rate for drinking by more than 9 liter per person.
