2) Using the Descriptive Statistics feature , of either JASP or the Data Analysis ToolPak in Excel, generate numerical summary tables for your interval level or above variable choices in Table 1 above. Copy and paste the tables into this document. Ensure that the tables are APA formatted correctly
3) Determine the representative measures of center , for each of your continuous variables, and they associated measure of spread. Type your responses in Table 2 below:

4) Calculate and interpret the correlation for the interval/ratio level variables in Table 1.
5) Generate a scatter plot for the 2 variables you identified as interval/ratio in Table 1. Select one to be the explanatory variable and the other to be the response variable. Place the explanatory variable on the horizontal axis. Copy and Paste the scatterplot here. Ensure that the chart is APA formatted.
6) Describe what the dot pattern in the scatter plot from #5 above.
7) Using the Regression feature, of either JASP or the Data Analysis ToolPak in Excel, generate the 3 Simple Regression output tables for your 2 interval/ratio variables in Table 1. Copy and paste all 3 tables here.
8) Using complete sentences, interpret the Multiple R and R Squared.
9) Using complete sentences, discuss the significance of the simple regression equation.
10) Using complete sentences discuss the significance of the coefficients.
11) Using the Regression feature, of JASP or the Data Analysis ToolPak in Excel, Residual and Normality plots and histograms. Copy and paste the charts here. Ensure that they are correctly APA formatted.
12) Using complete sentences, interpret the Residual plot.
13) Using complete sentences, interpret the Normality plot.
14) Using complete sentences, interpret the histogram.
15) If it makes sense to do so, write out the potential Simple Regression equation. If not, explain why. Enter your response in the table below

16) Select ONE of your interval/ratio variables to use along side your selected categorical variable to perform a one-way ANOVA investigation in JASP. Paste the output tables here.
17) Perform an equal variances assumption check. Post the evidences here.
18) Generate group level descriptive statistics including tables and charts. Enter them here.
19) Are you warranted to run a One-way ANOVA test? Explain.
20) Do you need to run a post hoc test? Explain
21) If you need to run a post hoc test, do so and paste the output tables here.
22) Write an interpretation for the post hoc test results.
