Quantitative Research Methods

This is a Essay of a quantitative research method

A report in APA style conveying analyses you will perform on a dataset provided to you. The report will include a brief introduction, methods,a detailed analysis and results section, and a brief discussion.

The clearer, more sensible and better structured your report, the better the mark. If you report very simple analyses and results, the mark will not be high. If you report more complicated analyses providing a better explanation/description of the data, your mark will likely be higher. If you just include nonsense in your results, the mark will be low. It is important that you make the most of the data you have, giving the best explanations you can provide.
