Preparation
If you haven’t already, complete the following before starting your assignment:
Download the Planning for Your Data [DOCX] worksheet.
Find another opening (different from the one you picked for the Week 3 assignment) for a job you could apply for with a bachelor’s degree that requires the use of statistics—some good, key search terms: psychology research assistance or survey data analysis.
Instructions
Complete and submit the Planning for Your Data [DOCX] worksheet.
Tips for success:
Pay attention to when you are asked to copy and paste JASP information and when you are not asked to do so.
Do each step one at a time. Running statistical tests requires paying attention to details. Pay special attention to which data file to use—you’ll use several of them.
Keep JASP, your textbook, and Statistical Analysis in JASP: A Guide for StudentsLinks to an external site. open when working on your worksheet.
Read, don’t skim, each part of the worksheet. The text will often help you find the answer.
Do the entire worksheet (it’s long).
When you are done, scroll to the very end of the document. Then scroll up slowly to double-check that you have an answer in each box. Going in reverse (from the end to the beginning) is often the best way to spot something you overlooked earlier.
