My hypothesis is: based on the intervention, did the participants increase in knowledge in diabetic related information? we are testing each question individually to see if it was significant... I was also told to change each question into a ditcotimous numerical format, but i'm not sure if i'm supposed too because the answers are categorical. The first question in the survey was which food raises blood sugar levels the most? and examples of the answers is listed below.... i changed it to dichotomous format (1,0). There were 4 possible answers (1/3 cheddar cheese, 1 0z pork, 3oz hamburger, and the right one which is 1 small apple). 0 for wrong answers and 1 for correct answer. but does that leave out important information?... can i still do the test test with it categorical answers? --> for question 2 i find it a bit more confusing.. the question is; according to the Plate method , non starchy vegetables are how much of your plate? i changed it to dichotomous format (1,0). There were 4 possible answers (the wrong ones are 1/4, 1/3 and 3/4. 1/2 is the correct answer). 0 for wrong answers and 1 for correct answer. I also changed it to a ditcotimous format, but was told to change the answers to (.25,.33,.50,.75) instead and find the difference and then run the t test... but am not sure
