The average perceived stress score is 26.3

2. Did males or females sleep more on average?
Descriptive statistics reveal than on average the average sleep score for Male persons (M=6.25, SD=1.04) was marginally higher than female persons ( M=5.17, SD=1.032).

The results revealed that these differences were not statistically significant t(8) =1.62, p = .072. The assumption of homogeneity of variances was met as assessed by the Leven’s Test(p=.947)

3.Is there a relationship between stress and sleep? What does the correlation suggest?

There is a strong negative correlation between the variables -0.974 which is statistically significant p=.001.
