Signature Homework: Create a Presentation for Statistical Analysis in Research
In this Signature Homework, you will use what you have learned in this course to conduct three statistical tests: a Pearson correlation, an independent t-test, and an ANOVA.
You will use SPSS to conduct the statistical tests.
You will then prepare a PowerPoint presentation in which you share the results of each statistical test. Each slide should contain notes (at least 100 words) describing the analysis in narrative form.
Prepare the PowerPoint presentation and include a voice-over. For instructions on how to include a narration to a PowerPoint presentation, search for "how to create voice-over narration in MSWord
Use the attached SPSS file to complete the following:
Select variables appropriate to conduct each of the statistical tests below:
Pearson Correlation for three variables
Independent Samples t-test
Recall that the t-test compares means for two groups.
ANOVA
Recall from that the ANOVA test compares means for three or more groups.

Introduction
Introduce the homework by stating the importance of hypothesis testing in research and how statistics are used to accomplish this.
Present the statistical tests one at a time. For each statistical test:
1. Identify the null and alternative hypothesis for the statistical test.
2. Identify the Independent and Dependent variables, as appropriate. (Note: not applicable for the Pearson Correlation statistical test)
3. Display appropriate graphics, and descriptive statistics for each of the variables in the statistical test. Describe the central tendency and dispersion of each variable in the slide notes using formal writing.
4. Display the statistical output for the test.
5. Describe the statistical output in the slide notes using formal writing.
6. Reflect on the use and value of the statistical test.
Format your homework according to the give formatting requirements:
1. The answer must be double spaced, typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the homework, the course title, the student's name, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also include a reference page. The references and Citations should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
