Data Analysis and Application Sindria Salazar Capella University 1 For the follloing study investigate variables of interest such as attendance patterns, academic performance, and other key indicators of student engagement and success. Our approach will be tailored to unearth the properties of these variables, respecting the inherent structure of the data while avoiding the potential pitfalls of parameter assumptions. In sum, this study aims to deliver a clear, statistically-sound narrative on how different sections influence student outcomes, based on a thorough and conscientious analysis using Nonparametric Statistics. Data File Description [one paragraph] 1) Describe the context of the data set. 2) Write in paragraph form. Paragraphs are indented. Your paragraphs will not be numbered as these are in the template. 3) Specify the variables used in this DAA and the scale of measurement of each variable (nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio). 4) Specify sample size (N). Research Question, Hypotheses, and Alpha Level [one paragraph] 1) Articulate a research question (or questions) relevant to the statistical test. 2) Articulate the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis for the research question(s). 3) Specify the alpha level. 2 Testing Assumptions [multiple paragraphs] 1) Articulate the assumptions of the statistical test. 2) Paste output(s) that tests those assumptions and interpret them. Properly embed output(s) where appropriate. Do not string all outputs together at the beginning of the section. In other words, interpretations of figures and tables should be near (i.e., immediately above or below) where the output appears. Format figures/tables per APA 7th edition style and formatting rules. 3) Summarize whether the assumptions are met. If assumptions are not met, discuss how to ameliorate violations of the assumptions. 4) Make sure to use correct APA (seventh edition) formatting for the tables and figures. Interpretation [multiple paragraphs] 1) Paste output(s) for the inferential statistic and report it. Properly embed output(s) where appropriate. Do not string all outputs together at the beginning of the section. In other words, interpretations of figures and tables should be near (i.e., immediately above or below) where the output appears. Format figures and tables per APA formatting rules. 2) Report the test statistics. 3) Interpret statistical results against the null hypothesis. Conclusion [two paragraphs] 1) Provide a brief summary (i.e., one paragraph) of the conclusions. 2) Analyze strengths and limitations of the statistical test. 3 4 References 1) Provide references if you include in-text citations. Do not cite Capella course materials (e.g., instructor notes, handouts, class announcements, and so on). Only cite primary and secondary sources (e.g., textbooks and empirical journal articles). Be sure that your reference page remains on a separate page. 2) Make sure to use APA 7th edition for formatting. 5/n
