Week 6 assignment 2
Assignment 2: t Tests in Practice
The practice of quantitative research not only involves
statistical calculations and formulas but also involves the understanding of
statistical techniques related to real world applications. You might not become
a quantitative researcher nor use statistical methods in your profession, but
as a consumer, citizen, and scholar-practitioner, it will be important for you
to become a critical consumer of research, which will empower you to read,
interpret, and evaluate the strength of claims made in scholarly material and
daily news.
For this Assignment, you will critically evaluate a
scholarly article related to t tests.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Search for and select a quantitative article specific to
your discipline and related to t tests. Help with this task may be found in the
Course guide and assignment help linked in this week’s Learning Resources.
For this Assignment:
Write a 2- to 3-page critique of the article. In your
critique, include responses to the following:
Why did the authors use this t test?
Do you think it’s the most appropriate choice? Why or why
not?
Did the authors display the data?
Do the results stand alone? Why or why not?
By Day 7
