Download the 7864 data set, grades.jasp, which is a sample data set, and save it to your computer. This data file is used in all four papers (Week 2, Week 4, Week 6, and Week 8).
Part 1
Create two histograms for visual interpretation using the following variables:
VariableDefinition
LowupLower division =1; Upper division =2
FinalFinal exam: number of correct answers
Create two histograms and paste them into your Word document:
A histogram for lower division students.
A histogram for upper division students.
Briefly describe what a visual inspection of this output tells you about the shape of the distributions.
Part 2
Create a descriptives table to assess measures of central tendency and dispersion using the following variables:
VariableDefinition
GPAPrevious grade point average
Quiz3Quiz 3: number of correct answers
Create a descriptives table and paste it into your Word document.
Under the table:
Report the mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis for GPA and quiz3.
Briefly describe what skewness and kurtosis tell you about these data with regard to normality.
Submit both sections of your assignment as an attached Word document.
Competencies Measured
By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assignment criteria:
Competency 1: Analyze the computation, application, strengths, and limitations of various statistical tests.Below the output, provide an accurate interpretation of histograms for lower division and upper division.
Below the output, report descriptive statistics and interpret skew and kurtosis values.
Competency 5: Apply a statistical program’s procedure to data.Provide histograms for lower division and upper division.

Part of the requirements of this class is exercise. As the Catalog Description states, “A combination of physical activity and lecture providing regular exercise to develop physical fitness.”
You are required to exercise 3 times per week.
Each week I will provide 3 recorded yoga classes so you can exercise at home at your convenience.
Each class is approximately 35-50 minutes long.
When you have completed all three classes you will submit your answers to the following questions.
What did you enjoy about each of the three classes? Please designate each class. For example, in Class #1: I enjoyed the feeling of relaxation after I was done taking the class. I enjoyed the shoulder stretches because I have limited movement in my shoulders. I had a difficult time with the one-legged balance. You may discuss specific poses and exercises that you experienced in each of the videos. You will say something about each class. Please talk specifically about the classes so I know you are practicing along with each video.
What was difficult about the class, or did anything hurt? Be specific. For example, in Class #1: I can’t sit cross-legged on the floor. Is there another way I can complete the exercise without my legs hurting? That way I can help. You may also ask a question and I will answer your question in the comments area when I grade your weekly exercise assignment.
Submit your assignment at the end of each module/week.
You may type your answers into the text box, or attach them in doc, Docx, or pdf.

Introduction
There are so many ways that we can receive nutrition information: books, websites, academic journals, social media, peers, family, and more! In this week’s assignment we are going to see how popular health sources stack up against nutrition research articles.
Your Tasks
Task 1- Scroll through your favorite media or online sources
You will search the internet or your social media feeds for a nutrition topic of your choice. The possibilities are endless! Try to choose a source that you use frequently or that others that you know use frequently.
Task 2- Find a research study.
Next, I want you to find a research study that talks about the same topic as the topic you found in Task 1. For example, if you found a YouTube video talking about the keto diet, you will then need to find a research article that also talks about the keto diet.
The following are suggestions for places that you can locate a research study:
Google ScholarIn the Google search engine type in “Google Scholar”. You can then type in the subject that you are interested in learning more about.
Library ResourcesOn the left of your screen you should see “Library Resources”. Click on that, and then click “A-Z Database List”. Click on “All Subjects” and then select “Health” from the drop-down menu. Select any of the provider search engines to find a research study.
