Question

Use JASP to compute the following measures of central tendency and variability and write those statistical results at the top of your assignment submission. Do not paste the JASP results table into your answer document. Mean Median Mode Range Standard deviation Explain which scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio) is used to measure the variable. Use the relative positions of the mean, median, and mode to identify the shape of the distribution (positive skew, negative skew, or normal distribution). Explain what the shape of this distribution tells you about the characteristic or behavior of the sample. Imagine you had one score that was an extremely high outlier. Explain how each measure (mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation) would increase, decrease, or stay the same. Conclude by writing a 1- or 2-paragraph summary that “tells the story of the data” as instructed in the Descriptive Statistics section of the Writing Statistical Results and InterpretationsLinks to an external site.

✅ Step-by-Step Instructions for JASP


1. Open JASP and load your dataset (e.g., a CSV or Excel file).




2. Go to Descriptives:


Click "Descriptives" from the top menu.


Move your variable(s) of interest to the "Variables" box.






3. In the right panel:


Under Statistics, check the boxes for:


Mean


Median


Mode (under "Additional Statistics")


Range


Standard Deviation








4. Copy the values (not the table) into your answer document.

✍️ Example of How to Write Your Results (Assuming Your Data)


> Statistical Results


Mean = 23.4


Median = 22


Mode = 21


Range = 15


Standard Deviation = 4.2




The variable is measured on a ratio scale, as it has a true zero point and equal intervals (e.g., age, income, weight).

ℹ️ How to Determine Scale of Measurement


Scale Characteristics Examples


Nominal Categories with no order Gender, eye color
Ordinal Categories with a meaningful order but unequal intervals Class rank, satisfaction level
Interval Ordered, equal intervals, but no true zero Temperature in Celsius
Ratio Ordered, equal intervals, true zero exists Height, weight, income, age

Equine infectious anemia (EIA) is considered the main infectious disease in Brazilian equine farming, for which there is no effective vaccine or treatment. It is caused by a retrovirus of the genus Lentivirus, which affects horses, donkeys and mules and is transmitted in nature mainly by hematophagous insects of the genus Tabanidae. Researchers analyzed the records of 9,439 equids from Acre, submitted to the agar gel immunodiffusion test (AGID) for equine infectious anemia (EIA), between 1986 and 1996. Of these, 6199 tested positive for equine infectious anemia (EIA) . Knowing that the age of AIE-positive horses follows a Normal distribution with a mean of 5 years and a standard deviation of 1.5 years, determine the expected number of AIE-positive horses in the Acre sample that will be aged less than or equal to 3 years. ATTENTION: Provide the answer to exactly FOUR decimal places.

Which statement best describes the key changes in perspectives on inclusion? An inclusive program must consider the unique experiences of every child and family as well as the child's strengths and needs. There is a shift in thinking about individual programs as "inclusive programs" to thinking about inclusion as something that reflects the cultural influence of the family. There is a greater emphasis on barriers to full participation and the acknowledgement that all children are unique and must be fully and meaningfully engaged in a program. In an inclusive program all participants are accepted by their peers and other members of the community.
