Univariate analysis

In this assignment, you will learn about univariate analysis and frequency distribution.

Using the Internet, research the following:

•  Univariate analysis
• Frequency distribution and scattergrams

One of the ways that data is examined is by doing univariate analysis. This means that the researcher analyzes the characteristics of a single variable to understand what the numbers say about the sample or group from which it is collected.

Find a frequency distribution analysis from the Internet which brings out an experiment using univariate analysis and complete the following tasks based on the example:

•  Post a link to the example.
• Explain the techniques used by the researcher to describe the distribution and characteristics of a single variable.
• Discuss if further statistical analysis beyond the univariate analysis is necessary.
• Explain the logic of statistical significance and level of significance.
• Define Type I and Type II errors.

Next,  find a scattergram and post the link to it.

Then, discuss your findings by completing the following tasks:

• Cite and reference the source from which you obtained the scattergram using APA format.
• Describe the steps in creating a scattergram.
• Explain the significance of a scattergram in describing bivariate relations.
