• Click here to download the study.
• Look at the variable values and read the descriptions of the variables. Which values appear to be unrealistic?
• Do these values have anything in common?
• Use Microsoft Excel to obtain the descriptive statistics.
  • Save the Microsoft Excel workbook to a file and submit it with the final document. Eliminate the unrealistic values from the analysis by deleting the data for those values.
  • Why do you think these values are unrealistic?
  • Run the descriptive statistics again and then write a statement on what the eliminated values had in common.

Include the two results files and your comments about what the values had in common and prepare a report in a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document.
