1. A DNP student believes depression scores (continuous level data) are different for men and womenseen in a particular healthcare facility. She is planning to create a depression intervention for women seen in the clinic for her DNP project. However, the student needs to collect baseline data to determine if her hypothesis is true prior to implementing the intervention focused on women.

1. Explain why the statistical analysis provided on the printout was chosen.

1. What is the most appropriate measure of central tendency and variability to report for this data?

1. Interpret the output by writing up the findings as recommended in Kim, Mallory & Valerio. Highlight the data you used in the outputs below
