).Your task is to determine which descriptive or inferential statistical procedure is necessary to answer each research question.When you have completed the assignment, you will have a list of the analyses you should complete to properly analyze our data set.These analyses, and your interpretation of the SPSS output, will form the "Results" section of the final paper.

There are no trick questions - every research question requires one of the descriptive or inferential statistics you have learned about in this class:

Frequency (Proportion)

Mean

Chi-square Goodness of Fit Test

Chi-square Test of Independence

One-Way T-test

Independent Samples (Two-Way) T-test

Paired Samples T-Test

Bivariate Correlation

** If the correct answer is "chi-square goodness of fit", you need to also tell me what your "expected distribution" is.
