Psychology/R Question

This assignment will allow you to practice conducting statistical analyses as a researching psychologist. As you recall from class, prior to conducting a study you need to ask a question that interests you. I provide an example below, but you are instructed to create your own versions of interesting questions to ask and to test using the supplied data. You have been provided unique data sets so your statistics and answers must be done on the data set that is assigned to you. A unique answer key will be made for each data set and available to the TA to help them mark the assignments. If your answers do not match the answer key, you will not receive a full mark. As discussed in class, hypothesis testing involves 4 steps. 1. Ask a question about the population and state the hypothesis 2. Use hypothesis to predict sample characteristics 3. Obtain sample, collect data, and perform statistical analyses 4. Compare result to prediction and make a decision Requirements: the whole statistical analyses
