DAA Section 3: Intercorrelation Matrix
On the Analyze menu, scroll down to Correlate and select Bivariate…
Select quiz1. Select the arrow to move quiz1 to the Variables box.
Select gpa. Select the arrow to move gpa to the Variables box.
Select total. Select the arrow to move total to the Variables box.
Select final. Select the arrow to move final to the Variables box.
Press OK.
Copy and paste the intercorrelation matrix into DAA Section 3.
Below the output, first report the total-final correlation including degrees of freedom, correlation coefficient, and p value. Specify whether or not to reject the null hypothesis for this correlation. Second, report the gpa-quiz1 correlation including degrees of freedom, correlation coefficient, and p value. Specify whether or not to reject the null hypothesis
DAA Sections 2 and 3 should look like the next page.
Testing Assumptions
Interpret the skewness and kurtosis values and how you determined whether the assumption of normality was met or violated.
Results & Interpretation
Below the output, first report the total-final correlation including degrees of freedom, correlation coefficient, and p value. Specify whether or not to reject the null hypothesis for this correlation. Second, report the gpa-quiz1 correlation including degrees of freedom, correlation coefficient, and p value. Specify whether or not to reject the null hypothesis for this correlation.

Data Analysis & Application Template
Data Analysis and Application (DAA) Template
Use this file for all assignments that require the DAA Template. Although the statistical tests will change from week to week, the basic organization and structure of the DAA remains the same.
Update the title of the template. All should be written in narrative form (delete numbered lists).
Data Analysis Plan
1. Name the variables and the scales of measurement.
2. State your research question, null and alternate hypothesis.
Testing Assumptions
1. Paste the SPSS output for the given assumption.
2. Summarize whether or not the assumption is met.
Results & Interpretation
1. Paste the SPSS output for main inferential statistic(s) as discussed in the instructions.
2. Interpret statistical results as discussed in the instructions.
Statistical Conclusions
1. Provide a brief summary of your analysis and the conclusions drawn.
2. Analyze the limitations of the statistical test.
3. Provide any possible alternate explanations for the findings and potential areas for future exploration.
Application
1. Think of your own field of study. Describe how this type of analysis might be used in your field.
2. Analyze what the value and potential implication of such an analysis would be.
Provide references in proper APA Style if necessary.
