Homework: Statistical Analysis in Research
In this Signature Homework, you will use what you have learned in this course to conduct a series of statistical analyses for a quantitative study. You will use SPSS to conduct the analysis. You will then prepare a PowerPoint presentation in which you share the results of the analysis. Each slide should contain notes (at least 100 words) describing the analysis in narrative form.
Prepare the PowerPoint presentation and include a voice-over. For instructions on how to include a narration to a PowerPoint presentation, search for "how to create voice-over narration in MSWord PowerPoint."
Use the attached SPSS file to complete the following:
i. Introduce the homework by stating the importance of hypothesis testing in research and how statistics are used to accomplish this.
ii. Run, with appropriate graphics, the descriptive statistics for each of the variables in the data
iii. Using the above results please describe the central tendency and dispersion of each variable in the slide notes using formal writing.
iv. Select variables appropriate to conducting a t-test. Use these variables to develop both null and alternative hypotheses. Conduct the analysis and interpret the results in the slide notes using formal writing.
v. Select variables appropriate to conducting a one-way ANOVA. The categorical variable must have at least three groups. Use these variables to develop both null and alternative hypotheses. Conduct the analysis and interpret the results in the slide notes using formal writing. Justify why you did, or did not, perform and interpret a post hoc analysis.
Format your homework according to the following formatting requirements:
i) The answer should be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
