WRITE MY ESSAY

Keep JASP, your textbook, and Statistical Analysis in JASP: A Guide for Studentsopen when working on your worksheet.
Read, don’t skim, each part of the worksheet. The text will often help you find the answer.
Do each step one at a time. Running statistical tests requires paying attention to details. One wrong setting in JASP can result in getting poor or wrong results. It’s not difficult if you go step by step. It just needs a bit of patience and to go a little slower than normal.
Do the entire worksheet (it’s long).
When you are done, scroll to the very end of the document. Then scroll up slowly to double-check that you have an answer in each box. Going in reverse (from the end to the beginning) is often the best way to spot something you overlooked earlierhe assessments in this course build upon each other, so you are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.Before you begin the assessment, complete the following:Step 1: Ensure JASP is installed and set up on your computer.
Step 2: Choose the variables you will be working with from the chart below. You will choose one variable from List A and one variable from List B.
