Week 5 - Group Assignment

This group assignment is due January 28 by 12pm

Collect the team members' Week 4 individual descriptive statistics and the Week 5 individual Inferential Statistics and Findings assignment papers and spreadsheets.

Review each team member's descriptive statistics and inferential statistics and findings, incorporating the best elements into one team inferential statistics and findings paper and spreadsheet. If anyone changed the variables or research question, then you will need to redo the statistics to be using the same two variables so that your research paper is consistent. Points will be deducted if the same research question and variables are not consistent throughout the paper.

• Note the strengths and weaknesses (you don't need to discuss this in the paper)
• Where there are differences, collaborate with your team to find the best approach. (you don't need to discuss this in the paper).
