Using the dataset
ProposalAnalysis_FALLSdata.xlx
:
Step 1:In your own words write a brief synopsis of the study, describe the sample and the data you have. Include a table (APA format) that includes the appropriate descriptive data of all the variables
Step 2:
Select any
two
of the following hypotheses - if selecting #5 choose only 5A or 5B do not choose both.
1. There is an association between living alone and risk of falling.
2. There is a correlation and a predictive relationship between age and the baseline physical activity score.
3. There is a predictive relationship between the age and follow-up physical activity score while also controlling for baseline environmental risk score, baseline personal risk score, and living alone.
4. The change in environmental condition score differs by risk of falling.
5A. Baseline environmental and personal risk scores will differ from follow-up scores.
OR
5B. Baseline environmental and personal risk scores do not differ by living alone status.
Then for each hypothesis selected answer the following:
5. What is the statistical test you chose and why was this particular test chosen? Be sure to indicate which hypothesis was chosen and if the assumptions for the statistical test you choose are met.
6. State the null hypothesis and perform your analysis
7. Summarize your findings (include excel summary output tables) and indicate if you found support for the null hypothesis or not.
Step 3: Use a figure/graphic (APA format) to illustrate something important relevant to one of the hypothesis mentioned above. Include a description of the findings that the figure/graphic portray. It is OK if you want to integrate the figure/graphic description within your hypothesis testing summary.
