By this week you should have completed data collection on at
least 30 participants who met the qualifications to complete the survey (see
survey attached) with specific characteristics that make them a member of the
population you studied.
The data for your short survey should be entered into the Excel
database that you created last week (see attached). With this data set,
complete the following:
1.
Calculate
descriptive statistics for your main independent and other variables you have
collected information on (example: demographic variables).
a.
Create
a bar chart for the participants’ gender and ethnicity.
b.
Create
a histogram for participants’ age.
2.
Calculate
descriptive statistics for your dependent variable.
3.
Create
a summary table of your descriptive statistics.
a.
Hint:
For categorical variables, you should be calculating frequencies and
percentages; for continuous variables, you should be calculating means and
standard deviations.
4.
Use
one hypothesis-testing statistic that examines the relationship between your
independent variable and dependent variable.
a.
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.
b.
Write
the null and alternate hypotheses.
c.
What
is the calculated statistic value?
d.
What
is the p and critical statistic value?
e.
Is
the p-value significant? Is calculated statistic value greater than
critical value?
f.
What
is your conclusion?
Here’s an example of a summary
table (see attached)
