Step 1: the Data Analysis Plan

• Name the four variables used in this analysis and whether they are categorical or continuous.
• State a research question, null hypothesis, and alternate hypothesis for total and final.
• State a research question, null hypothesis, and alternate hypothesis for gpa and quiz1.

Step 2: Testing Assumptions

Test for one of the assumptions of correlation - normality.

• Interpret the skewness and kurtosis values and how you determined whether the assumption of normality was met or violated.

Step 3:  Results and Interpretation

• first report the total-final correlation including degrees of freedom, correlation coefficient, and p value. Specify whether or not to reject the null hypothesis for this correlation.
• Second, report the gpa-quiz1 correlation including degrees of freedom, correlation coefficient, and p value. Specify whether or not to reject the null hypothesis for this correlation.

Step 4: Write Section 4 of the DAA: Statistical Conclusions

• Provide a brief summary of your analysis and the conclusions drawn about correlations.
• Analyze the limitations of the statistical test and/or possible alternative explanations for your results.

Step 5:Application

Analyze how you might use correlations in your field of study.

• Name two variables that would work for such an analysis and why studying the relationship may be important to the field or practice.
