Mini-Report Instructions: assignment, you are asked to generate a scenario that would require the use of a One-Way Anova,write your research question and matching hypothesis, generate fake/mock data, enter that correctly into SPSS, calculate and explain your results.

• Title
• Brief introduction to the scenario (explain what you are comparing, what the variables are and what your null and alternative hypotheses are.
• See this link if you are stumped.https://www.statisticshowto.datasciencecentral.com/probability-and-statistics/hypothesis-testing/anova/
• Provide an operational definition for the independent variable and dependent variable. Is this an interval or ratio scale measurement?
• Brief explanation of the methods
• explain the sample size, sampling method, and measurement methods you might use to have collected the mock data for your study. Use about 20-30 data points per group.
• explain the descriptive statistics and charts which you might use to first analyze the data and check the sample for outliers and normality
• list your choice of alpha level and explain that choice. Will you use the standard p<.05 level or a different criterion and why?
• Explain what post-hoc tests you used and why they were used.
• Results [Hint, see: thispower-point presentation (click here)on running and interpreting One-Way Anova in SPSS]
• List the descriptive statistics for your data. List any charts which accompany them.
• Paste in the Anova results table for your data
• Report the descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations) and the inferential statistics (One-Way Anova results) in APA format.http://statistics-help-for-students.com/How_do_I_report_a_1_way_between_subjects_ANOVA_in_APA_style.htm

• Explain whether or not you rejected the null hypothesis and why
• Interpretation:Write a brief description of your results and what it means about your research question. Was there a difference between the means you looked at and what would that tell you about the primary research question? Interpret the effect size measures. End with the final take home message about what your study shows and comment about what you learned or what you have questions about based on this assignment.
