It then walks you through how to create multiple tables and graphs as part of a descriptive analysis. Finally it walks you through the steps needed to conduct the most common hypothesis tests (One Sample T-Test, Two Sample T-Test for Independent Samples, Two Sample T-Test for Paired Samples, Analysis of Variance, Chi Square Test of Independence, Test of Correlation, Multiple Regression Analysis, as well as the nonparametric test equivalents where appropriate).
