Solve problems relating to dependent and independent variables, grouped and ungrouped data, locating data on a chart, and creating tables and graphs in JASP.
Introduction
Note: The assessments in this course build upon each other, so you are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.
In this assessment, you will complete problems to apply correct order of operations in solving equations, identify appropriate scales of measurement, differentiate continuous versus discrete variables, create tables of frequency distributions, and create graphic visualizations of data.
