Whenexamining cholesterol in clinical settings, we look at two numbers:low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-densitylipoprotein (HDL). You may have heard these called “good” (HDL) and “bad” (LDL) cholesterol. For LDL, lowernumbers are better (below 100 is considered optimal. For HDL, 60 or higher is optimal.In this experiment, the researcher is testing three different versions of the new medication. In data file “Activity 8.sav”you will find the following variables:Drug (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 determine which version of the drug (A, B or C) shows the most promise. Perform thefollowing analyses, and paste the SPSS output into your document.1.Exploratory Data Analysis.a.Perform exploratory data analysis on therelevant variables in the dataset. When possible,include appropriate graphs to help illustrate the dataset.b.Give a one to two paragraph write up of the data once you have done this.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 contrasts to distinguishbetween the drugs (group variable). In the same analysis, include descriptive statistics, and parameterestimates. Finally, be certain to inform SPSS that you want post-hoc test to help you determine whichdrug works best.a.Is there any statistically significant difference in how the drugs perform?
