• Bring to mind a real-world situation or problem that could be addressed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). You will not need SPSS to complete this Discussion question.

• For this situation or problem:
  • Clearly identify the independent and dependent variables you would study, including the number of levels of the independent variable.
  • Generate the statistical null and alternative hypotheses.
  • Describe what information the effect size would tell you that the probability value would not tell you.
  • Explain what additional information confidence intervals around means (or around mean differences) would give your reader.
  • Explain when would you need to report a post hoc test and why.
  • Using realistic numbers for values of degrees of freedom, sample size, F-ratio, and confidence interval(s) (if appropriate), and post hoc results (if appropriate), report hypothetical results in a few sentences using correct APA format.

Second Part of the Assignment

• Open the Howell data set in SPSS. Using the hypothesis testing procedure in the course text, select any appropriate independent variable with three (3) or more levels and any appropriate dependent variable from the Howell data set.
• Using the variables you selected, perform an ANOVA test (including a post hoc test) in SPSS, and generate syntax and output files. The SPSS syntax and output files will be copied and pasted into this week's Application Assignment and into the Appendix of your Final Project.
• Based on your SPSS analysis, report the results using correct APA format, following the example in this week's Study Notes. Copy and paste this report into this week's Application Assignment and integrated it into the Results section of your Final Project.

Third Part of the Assignment

This week, you are asked to calculate a Pearson correlation in SPSS.

• Review the Week 10 Study Notes: Correlation . ***These Notes are Attached***
• Review the SPSS demonstration Correlation and Introduction to Regression on your DVD.
• Review the hypothesis testing procedure in Chapter 8 in the course text Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences .
• Open the Howell data set in SPSS. Using the hypothesis testing procedure in the course text, select any two appropriate variables from the Howell data set.
• Retrieve the descriptive statistics for each of the nine project variables you computed in Week 3. In the output from your Week 3 analysis, select the variables that you will use to perform your SPSS analysis this week. You are asked to incorporate these descriptive statistics into the results of this week's Pearson correlation calculation, following the example provided in this week's Study Notes.
• Using the variables you selected, calculate a Pearson correlation in SPSS, and generate syntax and output files. The SPSS syntax and output files will be copied and pasted into this week's Application Assignment and into the Appendix of your Final Project.
• Based on your SPSS analysis, report the results using correct APA format, following the example in this week's Study Notes. This report will be copied and pasted into this week's Application Assignment and integrated into the Results section of your Final Project .
