Question #1: Last week you learned about the various types of variables used in descriptive statistics, provide just a brief summary and explain what the differences are between each of the four types of variables and give examples of each.

Question #2: Describe the differences between descriptive, inferential and multivariate statistics. Describe 2 types of tests used in descriptive and two types of tests used in inferential statistics and two types of tests used in multivariate statistics. Describe why a researcher might use inferential versus multivariate or why sometimes both of these statistical types may be used together.

Question #3: Look at the article that you are using for your quantitative research critique and determine if descriptive, inferential or multivariate statistics are used in the study. Based on your understanding from last week and this week’s readings describe which statistical tests are used in your quantitative research study. Determine if these tests are appropriate for the data collected by the researchers for your quantitative research. Provide support for your answers using the readings from the module and from the chapter readings from this week. (this discussion and feedback can be applied to your quantitative research critique paper).
