Content Analysis

Regression Analysis
Conduct a regression analysis using the data provided in the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet from the Riverbend City multimedia. Describe your analysis and present the results. Compare and contrast the t test conducted in the previous unit and the regression done in this unit.
INTRODUCTION
In the previous unit, you read about quantitative analysis. In this unit, you will read about how to conduct qualitative analyses. Qualitative analysis is conducted with content analysis strategies. Content analysis is the systematic examination of non-numerical data (EMC Educational Services, 2015). Many qualitative researchers have developed various strategies for content analyses: the ultimate goal is typically to identify themes in the data, which is why it can also be referred to as thematic analysis. In this course, you are being asked to do a simple content analysis. What is important is that you go beyond simply summarizing what was said.
