The analysis in Table 10–12 is from a hypothetical study comparing performance of children with communication disorders, their chronological age-matched peers, and their communication age-matched peers. The study had two independent variables: a group variable that was nonexperimental and a method variable that was experimental. The information reported includes descriptive statistics for the three groups of children across the two methods. The inferential data analysis was a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with group and method as the independent variables. First, examine the descriptive statistics. What do you think might have happened in this study? You might consider entering the means in a spreadsheet and generating a bar graph or line graph.
Statistics that help describe, summarize, and present information extracted from data. Descriptive statistics include concepts related to measures of central tendency, measures of variability, measures of frequency, shape of distribution, and some data visualization techniques/tools such as pivot tables, charts, and graphs.
