Consequently we can say that all age bunch respondents similarly concur that Statements / comments / tweets and so forth made on social destinations by the ideological group/pioneer, impact my democratic choice. So further we don't have to clarify the after effect of post hoc test.
Independent sample t-test:
Autonomous t-test applied to check whether there is a genuinely importance distinction between various schooling bunch on ward variable. The consequence of autonomous t-test express that the t esteem for 108 df is 0.004 which is under 0.05 so we can say that there is a measurably huge contrast between instruction of respondents on democratic choice based on Statements/comments/tweets and so forth made on social destinations by the ideological group/pioneer.
