The Assignment
Provide numeric descriptive statistics (include skewness and kurtosis if appropriate) and graphic descriptions for Sex, Educ, and Exercise. (10 points)
Create histograms of the number of steps (Exercise) (dependent variable) for each combination of levels for the two independent variables. Describe the data and shape of the distributions. (20 points)
Discuss whether the assumptions of homogeneity of variance of the groups and normality of the data on Exercise are met. Be sure to include output to support your decision on whether the assumptions have been met. (Continue with the analyses even if assumptions are not met.) (20 points)
Conduct two-way ANOVA with interaction and post hoc analysis (as appropriate) using Tukey to correct for multiple comparisons. Provide relevant SPSS output. (40 points)
Interpret the analysis results in the context of the research question: Is there a difference in the level of exercise based on a person’s sex and level of education? Include important statistics from your analysis results to support your conclusion and generalize your results, if appropriate, to the relevant population(s). (10 points)
