Describing Individual Variables (Univariate Statistics)
Each discussion has a preparation section that contains statistical software exercises. You must complete these exercises before beginning the discussions each week.
This week, you will be working through the following exercises:
- Enter the data from Table 2.5 in your Statistics for the Health Sciences textbook in an Excel file.
- Save the Excel file as a .csv file and open the .csv file in JASP.
- Generate a histogram and boxplot for each variable.
- Generate a scatterplot showing the relationship between the two variables.
- Additionally, generate the following for each variable:
- Mean.
- Median.
- Mode.
- Range.
- Standard deviation.
- Variance.
- Quartiles.
File Submissions
Every time you generate outputs in a statistical software exercise, you will be required to interpret and report the results. Both the Word document and the output files must be uploaded to your discussion post.
- Upload the .jasp file. Make sure you have saved your .jasp file after running your procedures to save the outputs.
- Include a separate Word document in which you interpret and report the results of the graphs or tables (summary statistics, scattergram, box-plot, and histogram) you generated. Format your document using APA style.
