Course Overview and Univariate Descriptive Statistics
Think of everyday common examples of variables at each level of measurement. Provide an example of each of the levels and describe why it is the level you identify.
Once you have done this, look online for a research study which has been reported in a newspaper or popular news magazine (e.g., Time, Newsweek, etc.). Report the measure of central tendency used in the article. Be certain to post the newspaper reference in APA format (including a link to the article) and provide a brief summary of the research study as reported in the newspaper.
Please carefully review the Discussion Board grading rubric in the grading rubrics section of the course home.
