Part 1 - Your EssayPlease find the due date for this part in the Course Calendar. This week you'll be exploring the life and labor of women in the 19th century. The Life Stories of Undistinguished Americans As Told By Themselves was originally published in 1906. It collected interviews with a number of ordinary Americans such as former slaves, immigrants, sweatshop workers, housewives, and farmers' wives. These articles were first published in Holt's reformist newspaper The New York Independent during the early 1900s. It’s interesting to compare women’s work today, over 100 years later, to that of women at the turn of the 19th century. How has women’s work changed over the past century and what has stayed the same?Steps to complete the Assignment: Read the sources provided below:Emma Goldman's statements on Having It All. Capmaker Rose SchneidermanArticle on the first strike by Garment makers: Mother of all StrikesA Nurse in the SouthHistory of domestic labor from Mother Jones: Domestic Workers' Invisible HistoryWomen on the Farm“Breaking the 'grass ceiling': More women are farming” by Christopher Doering, Gannett Washington Bureau, USA Today March 17, 2013. Write a 400-600 word essay that responds to the following questions - be sure to use examples to support your answers and demonstrate your understanding of the readings In your essay describe the challenges that each of these women faced in their daily life.What did they see as the major problems within their own society?Do they suggest a solution to those problems?How does Rose Schneiderman's account relate to the article about the garment maker's strike?How does the history of domestic workers reflect the challenges of women to unionize? How can we generalize the experiences of the Southern Nurse?What challenges does the Farm Woman discuss? How do the women in 1900 and the contemporary women challenge the notion of the traditional farm wife?

For this assessment, you will complete an SPSS data analysis report using t-test output for assigned variables. You will review the theory, logic, and application of t-tests. The t-test is a basic inferential statistic often reported in psychological research. You will discover that t-tests, as well as analysis of variance (ANOVA), compare group means on some quantitative outcome variable. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: Analyze the computation, application, strengths and limitations of various statistical tests.Develop a conclusion that includes strengths and limitations of an independent samples t-test.Analyze the decision-making process of data analysis.Analyze the assumptions of the independent samples t-test.Apply knowledge of hypothesis testing.Develop a research question, null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, and alpha level.Interpret the results of statistical analyses.Interpret the output of the independent samples t-test.Apply a statistical program's procedure to data.Apply the appropriate SPSS procedures to check assumptions and calculate the independent samples t-test to generate relevant output.Apply the results of statistical analyses to a field of interest or career.Develop a context for the data set, including a definition of required variables and scales of measurement.Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with the expectations for members in the identified field of study.Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with the expectations for members in the identified field of study. Read the Assessment 3 Context document for important information on the following topics: Logic of the t-test.Assumptions of the t-test.Hypothesis testing for a t-test.Effect size for a t-test.Testing assumptions: The Shapiro-Wilk test and Levene's test.Proper reporting of the independent samples t-test.t, degrees of freedom, and t value.Probability value.Effect size. As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment. Various Forms of thet-Test In what research situations should the paired samples t-test be used rather than the independent samples t-test? Two Versions of the Independent Samplest-Test Why are there are two different versions of the t-test on the SPSS printout and how you decide which one is more appropriate? Application oft-Tests Is there a research question from your professional life or career specialization that can be addressed by an independent samples t-test?Why would a t-test be the appropriate analysis for this research question?What are the variables and their scale of measurement?What is the expected outcome? (For example, "The group 1 mean score will be significantly greater than the group 2 mean score because…"). Required Resources The following resources are required to complete the assessment. Assessment 3 Context.DAA Template.SPSS Data Analysis Report Guidelines.IBM SPSS Step-By-Step Instructions:t-Tests.Copy/Export Output Instructions. In addition, you will need the grades.savfile that you created from the grades2.datfile in Assessment 1. SPSS Software The following statistical analysis software is required to complete your assessments in this course: IBM SPSS Statistics (recent version for PC or Mac). This course requires the following as a minimum: IBM SPSS Statistics Standard GradPack. (The Base GradPack is not acceptable for use in this course.) Versioning:This software is routinely updated. While it is recommended that you use the latest version of the software, you may use an older version if you already own it or have access to it, but it mustbe version 22 or higher. Be sure to use the version that is compatible with your operating system (PC or Mac). Suggested Resources The resources provided here are optional. You may use other resources of your choice to prepare for this assessment; however, you will need to ensure that they are appropriate, credible, and valid. The XX-FP7864 – Quantitative Design and Analysis Library Guidecan help direct your research, and the Supplemental Resources and Research Resources, both linked from the left navigation menu in your courseroom, provide additional resources to help support you.
