Interpret results: 6. Interpret results: Consider the significance level and effect sizes .Relate findings back to research questions and hypotheses. 7. Draw conclusions and make recommendations: Summarize key findings and implications. Suggest avenues for future research. 8. Report and present results: Use clear and concise language. Include visualizations and tables to support findings. Follow appropriate reporting guidelines. By following this framework, we will be well on our way to conducting a thorough and meaningful analysis of your research data.
