BTM8107-8 Week 8 Apply MANOVA and Prepare a Course Reflection
Correct Answers
Part A. SPSS Assignment
In this exercise, you are playing the role of a researcher that is testing new medication
designed to improve cholesterol levels. When examining cholesterol in clinical settings, we
look at two numbers: low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). You
may
have heard these called “good” (HDL) and “bad” (LDL) cholesterol. For LDL, lower numbers
are better (below 100 is considered optimal).For HDL, 60 or higher is optimal.
In this experiment, you will be testing three different versions of the new medication. In data
file “Activity 8.sav” you will find the following variables: group (0=control, 1=Drug A, 2=Drug
B, 3=Drug C), LDL, and HDL (cholesterol numbers of participants after 12 weeks).
Using a MANOVA, try to ascertain which version of the drug (A, B or C) shows the most
promise. Perform the following analyses and paste the SPSS output into your Word
document.
1. Exploratory Data Analysis.
a. Perform exploratory data analysis on the relevant variables in the dataset. When possible,
include appropriate graphs to help
illustrate the dataset.
b. Compose a one to two paragraph write up of the data.
c. Create an APA style table that presents descriptive statistics for the sample.
2. Perform a MANOVA. Using the “Activity 8.sav” data set, perform a MANOVA. “Group” is
your fixed factor and LDL and HDL are your dependent variables. Be sure to include simple
