Data Analysis and Application (DAA) Template
Use this file for all assignments that require the DAA Template. Although the statistical tests will change from assessment to assessment, the basic organization and structure of the DAA remains the same.
Update the title of the template. All should be written in narrative form (delete numbered lists).
Data Analysis Plan
- Name the variables and the scales of measurement.
Variables:
Continuous scale of measurement.
- State your research question, null and alternate hypothesis.
GPA= X and Final= Y
Null: There is no major correlation between GPA and final.
Alternative: There is a high correlation between GPA and final.
Testing Assumptions
- Paste the SPSS output for the given assumption.
For total and quiz 1 skewness value, there is normal distribution because the numbers both are between -0.5 and 0.5. For GPA and final skewness, is not normally distributed. For quiz 1 and kurtosis value, the numbers are closer to 0 so it is normal distribution. For GPA and final kurtosis value, it shows that it has a mesokurtic distribution because it is greater than 0.
- Summarize whether or not the assumption is met.
We can conclude that in regards to skewness and kurtosis, the variable quiz is distributed normally.
Results and Interpretation
- Paste the SPSS output for main inferential statistic(s) as discussed in the instructions.
- Interpret statistical results as discussed in the instructions.
Statistical Conclusions
- Provide a brief summary of your analysis and the conclusions drawn.
- Analyze the limitations of the statistical test.
- Provide any possible alternate explanations for the findings and potential areas for future exploration.
Application
- Think of your own field of study. Describe how this type of analysis might be used in your field.
- Analyze what the value and potential implication of such an analysis would be.
