A researcher plans to use a sample of 500 men and women attending a well-known online university to study the relationship between the number of fast-food hamburgers consumed in a month and BMI (body mass index). The null hypothesis is that there is no relationship between fast-food hamburger consumption and BMI.
By Day 4, post a description the statistical test the researcher would use to test the null hypothesis. Then, describe how that would change if the dependent variable was yes/no obesity instead of BMI. What cofounders should be included in this analysis? Finally, explain the importance of including these potential confounders in any tests of this relationship
