QUANTATIVE ANALYSIS WORK SOLUTION ONLY
Module 3 Assignment 1 Template
Fill in the answers for each table and answer the FIVE bolded questions below. Please round up your z scores to the hundredths spot, two decimals to the right and p values to the thousandths spot three decimals to the right as needed. If the p value is less than .001, please report p < .001. Please note when a value appears in SPSS as .000, it is truly p<.001. If you click on the .000 in the SPSS output you can see the value.
Make sure to write out a formal APA statement of conclusion for each child. The null hypothesis (H0) states that the concentration in children in the sample is the same as the concentration of children in the population. Assume a two-tailed test.

Which child or children, if any, appeared to come from a significantly different population than the one used in the null hypothesis?
Overall, what happens to the “significance” of each child’s data as the data are progressively more dispersed (in other words, what happens to significance as the standard deviation increases)?
