Charts:

1) Select one continuous variable (your choice). Generate a histogram in JASP and histogram in Excel. APA format both

2) Select one categorical variable (your choice). Generate a bar chart in JASP and another in Excel. APA format both

3) Select two continuous variables (your choice). Generate a scatter plot in JASP and another in Excel. APA format both

Tables:

4) Using the same continuous variable you choose in #1 above, generate a numerical summaries table in JASP. Then use the Data Analysis ToolPak in Excel and generate a Descriptive Statistics table for the variable.  APA format and report both tables

5) Using the same categorical variable you choose in #2 above, generate a frequency distribution table in JASP. The use Pivot Tables feature in Excel to generate a frequency distribution table. APA format and report both tables

8) Write interpretations 4 the numerical summaries (mean, median, skewness, standard deviation) contained in the Excel generated Descriptive Statistics table for your continuous variable. 

9) Are there any outliers for your continuous variable chosen in #1 above? What evidence (table information, chart, formulas) can you present that will support your claim? Present that evidence here

10) Use the shape of your histogram, and your skewness value, to determine which measure is likely the most representative measure of the center for the variable, mean or median? Explain

11) Based on the measure of center you selected in #9 above, which is the better representative of spread for the variable , standard deviation or IQR? Explain.
