“Exploring Statistical Analysis: T-Tests and Mann-Whitney Tests in Social Science Research”

*** JASP REQUIRED
Overview
For this assignment, you’ll practice what you’ve learned over the past 2 weeks. You’ll also begin working toward your final assignment in Week 9.
Preparation
Before you begin the assignment, complete the following:
Download the Thinking About Your Data worksheet (attached, doc 1).

Instructions
Complete and submit the Thinking About Your Data worksheet.
Tips for success:
Do each step one at a time. Running statistical tests requires paying attention to details.
Pay special attention to which data file to use—you’ll use several of them.
Keep JASP, your textbook, and Statistical Analysis in JASP: A Guide for StudentsLinks to an external site. open when working on your worksheet.
Read, don’t skim, each part of the worksheet. The text will often help you find the answer.
Do the entire worksheet (it’s long).
When you are done, scroll to the very end of the document. Then scroll up slowly to double-check that you have an answer in each box. Going in reverse (from the end to the beginning) is often the best way to spot something you overlooked earlier.
