Description:
Imagine that I was interested in the relationship between the sex of a cat and how much time it spent away from home (I love cats, so these things interest me). I had heard that male cats disappeared for substantial amounts of time on long-distance roams around the neighbourhood (something about hormones driving them to find mates) whereas female cats tended to be more home-bound. I used this as a purr-fect (sorry!) excuse to go and visit lots of my friends and their cats. The time spent away from home is measured at a ratio level - and let's assume it meets the other assumptions of parametric data - while the sex of the cat is a discrete dichotomy.

Variables:

• Time: Amount of time (in hours) that the cat was absent from home over a week
• Sex: Sex of the cat
