question 23

Essay

Design a research study on a topic of your choice. Make sure the outcome is a continuous variable, and that there are at least three independent variables with one of them being categorical. Construct a table with the variables in columns, and each observation or case for those variables, in rows. Have between seven to 10 rows in the table. Insert artificial values in each cell corresponding to the variable value for each row. This will be your data used in the study. If you have or find any public data on the topic of your choice, you could use it as your data source. You could also use survey data collected by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) on smoking habits among youth. You could access this data at HYPERLINK "https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/surveys/nyts/index.htm" https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/surveys/nyts/index.htm. Now, create a report showing central tendency, variability, and shape of any two of your variables in the study. Explain any calculations you make to arrive at your report results.
