You should now be familiar with the format for presenting statistical analyses. Consider research scenarios where nonparametric analyses would be more appropriate than parametric analyses.

Assignment Question

The Two-Way Contingency Table Analysis:

Using Crosstabs test is perhaps the most used nonparametric test. According to the Green and Salkind (2017) text, this type of test is used to evaluate whether a statistical relationship exists between two nominal (categorical) variables. This week, you will use the Week 7 Data File for Two-way Contingency Table Analysis.sav data file. To prepare for this Assignment, review Lesson 41 in your Green and Salkind (2017) text, as well as the Week 7 Assignment Template document provided in the week’s Resources.

There is no Assignment Exemplar this week, as you should now be familiar with the format for presenting statistical analyses. Consider research scenarios where nonparametric analyses would be more appropriate than parametric analyses. Submit a synthesis of statistical findings derived from Two-Way Contingency Table Analysis Using Crosstabs test that follows the Week 7 Assignment Template. Your synthesis must include the following: An APA Results section for the “Two-Way Contingency Table Analysis Using Crosstabs” Only the critical elements of your SPSS output: A properly formatted research question A properly formatted H10(null) and H1a (alternate) hypothesis A descriptive statistics narrative and properly formatted descriptive statistics table A properly formatted cluster bar A properly formatted inferential APA Results section An Appendix that includes the SPSS output generated for descriptive and inferential statistics [Examples of SPSS output are found on pp. 268–269 of Green and Salkind (2017).]

Note: You will cut and paste the appropriate SPSS output into the Appendix.

The SPSS output is not in APA format so you will need to type the information from the SPSS output to the appropriate sections of the APA table. You must use the Week 7 Assignment Template to complete this Assignment. Also, refer to the Week 7 Assignment Rubric for specific grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use this rubric to assess your work.

PART 2: SPSS – DISCRIMINANT ANALYSIS

Discriminant analysis is a statistical technique which can be used classify individuals/cases into groups on the basis of one or more quantitative measures (predictor variables). For this Assignment, you will run a discriminant analysis using the Week 8 Data File for Discriminant Analysis. Use “type” as the dependent variable. To prepare for this Assignment, review Lesson 16A and Lessons 31–35 in your Green and Salkind (2017) text and Week 8 Assignment Template document. Consider how a discriminant analysis will allow you to answer your research questions effectively.

Submit a synthesis of statistical findings derived from discriminant analysis that follows the Week 8 Assignment Template. Your synthesis must include the following: An APA Results section for the discriminant analysis [see an example in Lesson 35 of the Green and Salkind (2017) text]. Only the critical elements of your SPSS output: A properly formatted research question A properly formatted H10 (null) and H1a (alternate) hypothesis A descriptive statistics narrative and properly formatted descriptive statistics table A properly formatted combined group plot An Appendix including the SPSS output generated for descriptive and inferential statistics An explanation of the differences and similarities of multiple regression analysis and discriminant analyses

Note: You will cut and paste the appropriate SPSS output into the Appendix.

The SPSS output is not in APA format, so you will need to type the information from the SPSS output to the appropriate sections of the APA table. You must use the Week 8 Assignment Template to complete this Assignment. Also, refer to the Week 8 Assignment Rubric for specific grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use this rubric to assess your work.
