The followingfiveresearch questions can be answered using one of theeighttests you have learned this term, including: independent-samplest-test, paired-samplest-test, one-way ANOVA, two-way ANOVA for independent measures, Pearson correlation coefficient, bivariate linear regression, the chi-square test for goodness of fit, and the chi-square test for independence.Each test will only be used once, andthree tests will not be used.

Use the information in the tables to construct your SPSS data file, just as you have been doing in each homework assignment.There is only 1 correct choice of analysis for each question. Remember to account for whether the test is 1-tailed or 2-tailed.The assessment is open-book/open-notes.

Your answer must include:A)SPSS output,B)Results section in current APA style, andC)the appropriate graph included as an APA-style figure.

For ANOVA problems (if applicable):Report statistical findings and make statements for all main effects and interaction effects. Use Tukey's test for any analyses requiring post hoc tests.

Problem Set 1:

Research Scenario:Aclinical psychologist is studying the relationship between experiences of racial discrimination and anxiety in a sample of 11 Black college students. Specifically, he wants to determine if the number of self-reported experiences of racial discrimination predict anxiety about the future. He asks students to fill out a questionnaire with higher scores indicating a larger number of perceived experiences of racial discrimination. He then administers a questionnaire designed to assess anxiety about the future in four domains: social, professional, health, and financial. Scores on the questionnaire can range from 1 to 30, with higher scores indicating higher anxiety about the future.All data are listed in the table below. Does perceived racial discrimination predict levels of anxiety about the future? [Scenario inspired by Sosoo, E.E., Bernard, D.L., and Neblett, E.W., Jr. (2020). The influence of internalized racism on the relationship between discrimination and anxiety.Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology, 26(4), 570-580.]

Using this table, enter the data into a new SPSS data file. Use the appropriate test to analyze the question and create the appropriate graph.Follow the directions under the table.
