Problem:

A researcher is interested in exploring the impact of diet and exercise on gestational diabetes. A group of pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes and no other comorbidities were randomized into three groups. Participants in group 1 were instructed to follow an exercise plan consisting of light aerobic exercise 3 x per week. Participants in group 2 were instructed to follow a structured meal plan. Participants in group 3 were to track their usual exercise and diet. Researchers wanted to compare glucose levels (mg/dL) between the three groups 6 weeks following intervention.

1. state the purpose of the research question and the hypotheses

2. describe the statistical methods you applied to answer the research question (i.e., what you did). This should include a description of the descriptive statistics you conducted, what inferential statistical test was selected (and why), the significance level, and statistical software used (Use SPSS).

3. present your findings (i.e., what you found) and 1 figure. Include at least one measure of central tendency and variability in your results. An assumption check (describe what you did and what you found, as needed), check for potential outliers, and present the findings of your inferential test (i.e., your critical value and p value), as appropriate. You may use tables in your results section if it helps your explanation. If you find you find outliers, you must elaborate on what you did with them (i.e., whether you removed or kept them)

4. provide a brief interpretation of your results, including a description of the figure. Discuss whether you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis and what that means with respect to the research question.
