This quiz will model much of what your task may be like when working on your own dissertation. You have been provided the data set in order to answer the research question below. The data set (fish-diet.txt) is a text file that is readable by JASP. Generally, JASP opens these files nicely, but you will always want to check your rows and columns to see that nothing seems out of place. You will do a complete/full analysis with this file and provide your conclusion in APA format. Again, you MUST include the output and hypotheses in this assignment, even though that is not something included in your dissertation.
A quiz that earns full credit will include (for each research question):
An introductory sentence about which test(s) will be used and what indicated that it was the correct test.
A stated null and alternative hypothesis.
The output from JASP.
A conclusion in paragraph form that includes the decision you made, APA formatted reporting of your statistics, and a final statement about your findings as it relates to the research question. (2-3 sentences is fine)
For this quiz, you may use this Word file, or you can create your own.While I don’t have an issue with you turning in an Excel file, you should see this as an assessment of your professional writing of statistical analysis for which Excel is not appropriate.
The data in this file was used by Medical researchers who followed 6272 Swedish men for 30 years to see whether there was any association between the amount of fish in their diet and prostate cancer. (The original study actually used pairs of twins, which enabled the researchers to discern that the risk of cancer for those who never ate fish actually was substantially greater.)
Research Question
Is there an association between the amount of fish consumed (Diet:Counts) and developing prostate cancer (Cancer:Counts)?
