Overview
As you begin to think about questions more critically, the next step is to apply what you have learned in developing sound research questions. As such, the midterm project is formed to help you think about how to do this. Using one of the data sets provided, you are being asked to describe the data and sample using statistics and visualization, develop and test two hypotheses, and report the results in APA style. To do this, you will need to create a report after completing each major bullet point below. Here is a link to a template that you might use as a guide in developing this project.
Midterm Project Template UPDATED 2023.docProject Details
Your submission for the Midterm Project should be a Jamovi file with a .omv extension AND a document with the information outlined below:Select one of the datasets provided.
Create two sets of hypotheses (i.e., a null hypothesis AND a research/alternative for each).One must be able to be tested using an independent means and independent samples t-test.
One must be able to be tested using a dependent means or paired samples t-test.
Describe the variables you used in your hypotheses.Describe the variables used in the hypotheses in words (i.e., variable level, IV/DV).
Describe demographic information for FOUR variables. Describe the variables numerically (i.e., number and percent for nominal/ordinal level variables and a measure of central tendency and a measure of variability for interval/ratio level variables).
Create one histogram and describe the mode(s) (i.e., unimodal, bimodal, multimodal) and shape (i.e., skewed to the left, skewed to the right, symmetrical).
Test your hypotheses using the appropriate statistical procedure in Jamovi. For each hypothesis, write a paragraph that states the statistics you ran and why. Write the results of what you found in APA style and provide relevant output at the end of the report.
State whether your results support or fail to support the research/alternative hypothesis.
Create a report that combines what you completed and found in the main bullet points B – D; this will be like the Template linked above.
Important
To complete this project, you will need the following resources:
Be sure to open the Jamovi software FIRST and then open one of these files within the Jamovi software.

This project will utilize Jamovi; review the resources linked in your Course Tools and Resources to get started with Jamovi. Please reach out to your instructor with any questions or concerns.
