The purpose is for you to find a secondary data set, create variables, and enter the data in excel. Upon completion of this assignment, you should be able to find and download free, public, secondary
Final Report-Data Analysis and Conclusion
Due 12/08/2021 by 11:59 pm
Now that you have collected and organized your data in excel, it is time to analyze the data and draw conclusions from it. After you analyze the results in excel, you are to create a report to present your data. In the report, be sure to use the formats of charts, graphs, and other visual representation you learned in assignment 4. Below are the guidelines for this assignment.
Part 1 does not need to be a formal essay or paragraph. You can start by stating the research question and then the analysis results of that research question by using a bulleted format. See my example below. These are just examples, so the information presented in the examples are not accurate. You should present your actual information. I am only providing an example of the format to use to present part 1. Also keep in mind that you will have two research questions, so that means you have two sections to present
Example for Part 1:
Research Question 1: Is there a difference between drug addiction and alcoholism?
Sample Size
Drug Addiction: N = 1234
Alcoholism: N = 3323
Data Analysis
Pearson’s Correlation (r) is a test statistic that evaluates the statistical relationship, or association, between two continuous variables. There are different degrees of correlation. The correlation coefficient ranges between -1 and +1.
Results
Analysis 1: Independent T-Test
t(51) = 2.1 p < .04
Drug group Mean = 480 Standard Deviation = 34.5
Alcohol group Mean = 425 Standard Deviation = 31
The sample size of 25 in the drug addiction group (M = 480, SD = 34.5) compared to the sample size of 28 in the alcohol group (M = 425, SD = 31) demonstrated significantly higher scores, t(51) = 2.1, p = .04.
Instructions for Assignment
Part 1. Data Analysis and Results
What type of analysis did you do in excel? (Data Analysis)
Provide a brief description of the types of analysis you conducted.
Example: This is a small example below, but you would need to provide a bit more information. Please do not copy and paste directly from the internet.
Pearson’s Correlation (r) is a test statistic that evaluates the statistical relationship, or association, between two continuous variables. There are different degrees of correlation. The correlation coefficient ranges between -1 and +1.
What is your sample size (N)? (Sample Size)
If you are comparing or looking for a relationship between two groups, list the sample size for each group
You will need to add every case/number in each category
Example:
HIV: N = 11,133
Hepatitis C: N = 13, 333
What are the results of your study? (Results)
Present these results just as they are represented in the final analysis
Example:
Independent T-Test
t(51) = 2.1 p < .04
Drug group Mean = 480 Standard Deviation = 34.5
Alcohol group Mean = 425 Standard Deviation = 31
The sample size of 25 in the drug addiction group (M = 480, SD = 34.5) compared to the sample size of 28 in the alcohol group (M = 425, SD = 31) demonstrated significantly higher scores, t(51) = 2.1, p = .04.
Note: t(degrees of freedom) = the t statistic, p = p value
Part 2. Conclusions
What do your results mean?
This is where you draw conclusion about your results. Tell me the significance of this results and how they align with your study and interests in this topic.
Interpret the results and make inferences and assumptions about them.
Part 3: Visual Presentation
Present some of your data from excel into visual interpretations using graphs and charts. Remember the work you did with the cancer registry data and let that be an example for you also. You can use a combination of the following:
Pie graph
Column graph
Pie chart
Bar graph
Line graph
Criteria | Very Good-Good | Satisfactory | Unsatisfactory | Points |
Data Visualization | 1) Data visualization formats used appropriately represents the data 2) Data presented is easy to understand 3) Legends and other information provide readability and clarity | 1) Data visualizations showcase the data but not as easy to understand all data points represented | 1)Other data visualization formats should have been presented 2)Data not adequately represented | 15 |
