Discussion Prompt 1: Now, it’s time to decide which statistical analyses to use to test the hypothesis that your independent variable is related to your dependent variable. For this discussion, provide the following: What are your research questions? (Main hypotheses and goal of your study) List and specify your dependent and independent variables Your choice of statistical test, based on Chapter 7 (Hint: if you have a dependent variable that is ordinal, for this project you can run the statistical test that is appropriate if your dependent variable is continuous.) Discussion Prompt 2: Find a peer-reviewed journal article that interests you and includes the results of one of the statistical tests that we covered this week (one-way ANOVA, odds ratio, or chi-squared test). For this discussion, provide the following: A link to the website that contains the article What are the research questions? (Main hypotheses and goal of your study) List and specify dependent and independent variables cited in the article The specific statistical test that was used for hypothesis testing The findings, including relevant numbers that help people understand the magnitude of the findings (e.g., two proportions, the mean score for each group, the mean score at each time point) Your thoughts about the implications of the findings (what does it all mean?)

Simply reporting measures of central tendency or measures of variability will not tell the whole story. Using the following information, what else does a psychologist need to know or think about when interpreting this information?A school psychologist decided to separate some classes by gender to see if learning improved. She looked at student scores on the final exam and obtained the following information: Students in boy-girl classrooms obtained an average of 71.4 on their final exams with a standard deviation of 10.8 whereas students in single-gendered classrooms obtained an average of 75.9 on their final exams with a standard deviation of 8.2. She concludes that the single-gendered classrooms lead to better learning.Your initial response should be 1-2 paragraphs.
