Practical Application of Statistical Analysis

u09a1 Articles

In the following three articles, locate the Results section and find the appropriate analyses: Chi-square, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, correlation, or linear regression.

Read the results and draw your own conclusions.

· In your own words, write a one-paragraph interpretation of these results to help a team to decide if these results can be used in a recommendation to change practice for an organization.

· You must cite the page number and the specific data from each article, using current APA style and format. For example:

· When you cite a t-test, include group means, t value, degrees of freedom, and p value. Note: You will need to include the same kinds of descriptions for each different type of data (Chi-square, one-way ANOVA, correlation, or linear regression).
