InstructionsInstructionsIf the question requires computation, do the calculations and then give or select the correct values using the following rule:Keep at least 4 decimal places at intermediate steps of a calculation, and round your final answer to 2 decimal places, unless otherwise noted. For example: 16.6667 would become 16.67 after rounding(In the course notes for Module 7, probabilities such .678934 are instead rounded to four decimal places, so the correct way to report the aforementioned probability is .6789)Multiple AttemptsThis test allows 2 attempts.

For this Assignment, you will continue your practice as a critical consumer of research. You will critically evaluate a scholarly article related to multiple regression. Search for a quantitative article that includes multiple regression testing.Write a 3- to 5-paragraphs critique of the article (2 to 3 pages). In your critique, include responses to the following: Why did the authors use multiple regression? Do you think it’s the most appropriate choice? Why or why not? Did the authors display the data? Do the results stand alone? Why or why not? Did the authors report effect size? If yes, is this meaningful? Use proper APA format, citations, and referencing.Required Readings Frankfort-Nachmias, C., & Leon-Guerrero, A. (2018). Social statistics for a diverse society (8th ed.).
