Description
Calculate descriptive statistics for your main independent and other variables you have collected information on (example: demographic variables).
Create a bar chart for the participants’ gender and ethnicity.
- Create a histogram for participants’ age.
Calculate descriptive statistics for your dependent variable.
- Create a summary table of your descriptive statistics.
- Hint: For categorical variables, you should be calculating frequencies and percentages; for continuous variables, you should be calculating means and standard deviations.
- Use one hypothesis-testing statistic that examines the relationship between your independent variable and dependent variable.
- Hint: This test should be one of the following—independent samples t-test, paired t-test, one-way ANOVA, or Pearson’s chi-squared test.
Write the null and alternate hypotheses.
- What is the calculated statistic value?
- What is the p and critical statistic value?
Is the p value significant? Is calculated statistic value greater than critical value?
- What is your conclusion?
