Descriptive Statistics Using JASP

Descriptive Statistics Using JASP (ATTACHED THE REQUIRED FILES)

Purpose

This assignment ensures you can successfully open JASP, load the semester dataset, and generate descriptive statistics. These foundational skills are required before we move into correlation, regression, t tests, and ANOVA.

Instructions

Step 1

Open JASP and load the Semester Dataset provided in Week 1.

Step 2

Select the following variables:

  • tenure_org_years
  • lead_years
  • job_sat_mean
  • Step 3

    Generate Descriptive Statistics including:

  • Mean
  • Standard Deviation
  • Minimum
  • Maximum
  • Include only the output relevant to this assignment.

    Step 4

    In 1 to 2 well-developed paragraphs, answer the following:

    1. What is the average organizational tenure in this sample?
    2. What is the average leadership experience?
    3. The job_sat_mean variable is measured on a 17 scale, where higher values indicate greater satisfaction. Based on the mean job satisfaction score, would you describe this group as generally satisfied, neutral, or dissatisfied?
    4. Which variable appears to have the greatest variability? Support your answer using the standard deviation.

    Report descriptive statistics in APA format (for example: M = 6.42, SD = 3.15). Round all statistics to two decimal places.

    Step 5

    Copy and paste the JASP output tables and any relevant graphs directly into your Word document.

    Do not submit screenshots. Tables and figures must be clearly readable.
