Objective:
The main crux of the project is to find corelation between homesickness and being a junior
or a senior. A general belief is that juniors tend to miss family more than the seniors
(seniors have already spent one year away from the family).But before reaching to a
conclusion , it is neccesary that we collect enough data to prove the same. A survey was
circulated within the college and response was received from 68 students (22 seniors and
46 juniors).
We shall be conducting three different hypothesis, combined results of which shall form
our final conclusion.
According to us, below three points shall help us conclude our understanding.
1) The frequency of visits to home
2) The frequency of calls made to family/close ones
3) Willings to go home

Hypothesis :
H1:

Seniors visit home as much as juniors do

H1a: There is a difference in trips made by seniors and juniors

H2: Seniors miss family as much as juniors do

H2a: Call frequency decreases with increase in time away from

family

H3: If given a chance, both juniors and seniors are willing to go home
H3a: Unlike juniors, seniors prefer outing with friends

Concluding hypothesis:
Ho: Homesickness is independent of year of graduation

Ha: Homesickess decreases with time

Questionnaire / Survey

Survey Results

Normality check in Excel and SPSS

Hypothesis :
H1:

Seniors visit home as much as juniors do

H1a: There is a difference in trips made by seniors and juniors

P = 0.043 which is less than 0.05, so we Reject the null
hypothesis

H2: Seniors miss family as much as juniors do

H2a: Call frequency decreases with increase in time away from family
P = 0.896 which is greater than 0.05, so we Accept the null
hypothesis

H3: If given a chance, both juniors and seniors are willing to go home
H3a: Unlike juniors, seniors prefer outing with friends

P = 0.135 which is greater than 0.05, so we Accept the null

hypothesis

Hypothesis :
H1:

Seniors visit home as much as juniors do

H1a: There is a difference in trips made by seniors and juniors

P = 0.043 which is less than 0.05, so we Reject the null
hypothesis

H2: Seniors miss family as much as juniors do

H2a: Call frequency decreases with increase in time away from family
P = 0.896 which is greater than 0.05, so we Accept the null
hypothesis

H3: If given a chance, both juniors and seniors are willing to go home
H3a: Unlike juniors, seniors prefer outing with friends
P = 0.135 which is greater than 0.05, so we Accept the null
hypothesis

Concluding hypothesis:
Ho: Homesickness is independent of year of graduation
Ha: Homesickess decreases with time
Since two out of three hypothesis are
accepted, we can confidently conclude
that seniors do actually miss home as
much as we do.
