Homework: Hypothesis Testing: Grouped Inferential Statistics
Overview
In this homework, you will perform hypothesis testing on grouped data related to the SPSS output you used in the Unit 3 homework. Based on the data in the following scenario, choose and interpret appropriate inferential statistical analysis.
Scenario
The program coordinators need to make a report to the stakeholders and asked you to provide information about the data collected. You evaluated the data for validation, and now you need to run analyses to determine if there are differences in the following:
1. Residency program and the year of resident in the program.
2. Residency program and gender.
3. Residency program and race.
4. Resident year and gender.
5. Resident year and race.
6. Gender and year.
7. Did knowledge and confidence change as a result of the training?
8. If knowledge and confidence changed, were there differences in the change based on gender?
9. Was there a difference in the change in knowledge and confidence based on the residency?
Instructions
Create a 2 to 3 pages report interpreting the results from the above scenario. Use the Data Description document and the Unit 6 SPSS Output report [PDF], listed in Resources.
To successfully complete this homework, you must be able to demonstrate the following:
