Description
Open the dataset that will be used for the Session Long Project for this course. The variables are labeled across the top, one per column. There are 300 people in this dataset, with each row representing an individual’s data. Label the types of variables in the project study and describe, in words, the possible values of each category. List and describe the types of data that may be collected in a study, including binary, categorical, nominal, ordinal, and continuous variables. For instance, “gender” is binary and possible values include “male” versus “female.” Do this for all of the variables in the study.
Using the provided dataset, calculate the appropriate descriptive statistics for each of the variables in the dataset. Include a 3-page explanation of the descriptive statistics, including tables of the summarized data, similar to a “Results” section in a published manuscript or journal article.
Length: SLP Assignment should be at least 4 pages in length.
References: Four references from academic sources must be included (e.g., peer-reviewed journal articles). You may use any required readings from this module for your four references. Quoted material should not exceed 10% of the total paper (since the focus of these assignments is critical thinking). Use your own words and build on the ideas of others. When material is copied verbatim from external sources, it MUST be enclosed in quotes. The references should be cited within the text and listed at the end of the assignment in the References section (APA formatting recommended).
Organization: Subheadings should be used to organize your paper according to each question.
Format: APA
