As a Learning Team, use one of the following StatCrunch data sets

Each Learning Team must work with a different data set, so check
with the facilitator for your data set assignment. Refer to this course’s
reading material and at least two scholarly sources from the University
Library. Incorporate the following elements into your presentation:
 Introduction
o Introduce the Learning Team members and the data set.
o Briefly explain how the data was gathered and identify the
study population.
 Descriptive Statistics
 Define descriptive statistics and list the various descriptive
measures.
 Explain how descriptive statistical analysis increases
understanding of the data.
 Include an original graph created with StatCrunch that uses at
least one descriptive statistical measure to illustrate the data set.
 Define statistical inference and include and explain at least one
original inferential statistical calculation.
 Use StatCrunch to check the calculation and show the steps in
your presentation.
 Explain how inferential statistical analysis increases
understanding of the data.
 Explain the purpose of null hypothesis testing and provide
examples of null hypotheses that may be tested with the data set.
 Explain the logic of hypothesis testing and the role of the null
hypothesis.
 Differentiate between descriptive and inferential statistics and
how they support the human services research process.
