Analyzing data and drawing meaningful conclusions.
Using the provided data set, you will generate descriptive statistics, data visuals, and a summary of your analysis. The data for this assignment is simulated data from a hypothetical web-based survey design. Subjects in this study were graduate psychology students. Subjects' email addresses were randomly selected from a random sample of universities in the United States.
Remember, this is a data set for which you were not one of the primary researchers.
enlightenedUse descriptive and inferential statistics to test the following hypotheses and research question:
For U.S. psychology majors, younger students are healthier than older students.
There is no difference between men and women on aggression.
Is there a relationship between personality and life satisfaction?
For each of the above:
Identify the type of statistical procedures used to test the hypothesis and why you selected this procedure
For example: A Pearson correlation was conducted to determine the relationship between height and weight.
State the result of the procedure- was there a significant finding?
For example: There is a significant positive correlation between height and weight (r =.91, p <.05).
Provide an interpretation of the result and clearly explain what these findings mean (350-400 words)
For example: For this sample, the taller someone is the heavier he or she will be
Next, choose one of your findings and create a data visual (e.g., graph) to accompany your results.
