STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

To collect valid data for statistical analysis, you first need to specify your hypotheses and plan out
your project design.
Step 1: Write your hypothesis and plan your design.
• Every research prediction is rephrased into null and alternative hypotheses that can be
tested using sample data.
• While the null hypothesis always predicts no effect or no relationship between variables, the
alternative hypothesis states your research prediction of an effect or relationship.
Example: Statistical hypotheses to test an effect
• Null hypothesis: A 5-minute meditation exercise will have no effect on math test scores in
teenagers.
• Alternative hypothesis: A 5-minute meditation exercise will improve math test scores in
teenagers.
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

Step 2: Collect data from a sample


Step 3 : Summarize your data with descriptive statistics
Step 4 : Test hypotheses
Step 5 : Interpret the results, explaining what they mean in
the context of your research questions or hypotheses.
Limitations: Discuss any limitations of your study and how
they might affect the results.
COMMUNICATING STATISTICAL FINDINGS
• Statistical writing can bring data to life,by making it real,relevant
and meaningful to the audience.
• A simple table, graph or chart can explain a great deal,and so
this type of direct evidence should be used where appropriate.
• Tables: Highlights the argument or the message presented in
the text and makes it memorable for the audience.
• Graphs: They provide a way to visually represent and
summarize complex statistical information . Useful for revealing
patterns and relationships that exist in a data and shows how it
changes over time
