Question.4602 - Identifying Variables and Measurements Discussion Board INCLUDEPICTURE "https://bbhosted.cuny.edu/bbcswebdav/pid-2091085-dt-forum-rid-359318361_1/xid-359318361_1" \* MERGEFORMATINET 046545500In order to have any idea of what we are doing in science, math, or policy, we must know exactly what is being examined. Objective discussion and science depend on accurate identification of variables and an accurate understanding of their scales of measurement. This will be a detailed discussion worth 10 points so plan accordingly. Image by Dorota WroÅska from PixabayIn this discussion, please: Write a research question about a difference between groups, or a relationship between variables that interests you. Then, name/identify the first variable,explain it conceptually (what are you trying to measure?), explain its operational definition (what are the exact steps and equipment or materials required to make the measurement?) list its scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio scale) and explain why the variable fits one of these categories.explain if the variable is discrete (like the number of people), or if its values are continuous (like height)Name/identify the second variable and repeat the steps above Steps 1-4 aboveAvoid any question that has more than 2 variables - keep things as simple as possible throughout our class.What was difficult, confusing, or interesting about this process of identifying and defining variables?Help your classmates identify, define, and classify variables because most people do not do this correctly at first.To build your skill at reading research, identifying variables, and linking these to real life: What are your reactions to the worldview misperceptions mentioned in our unitâs featured video? https://www.ted.com/talks/alan_smith_why_we_re_so_bad_at_statistics What is one variable you have seen being discussed in the news, or in your daily life this week? Why is it important or interesting to you?What is its scale of measurement?** Please respond to at least 2 classmates by the date indicated on the syllabus, and the sooner the better. The main post should be at least 500 words. Both replies to classmates need to be 250 words or more, and should have at least 1 reference. Remember that we are using discussions and SPSS instead of hand calculations and extensive testing so we expect very strong participation in the discussions and extensive main posts and replies. Give people a chance to see your replies. Help each other answer questions. Post questions for me, etc. Stats is a team sport so make friends, have interesting conversations about relevant topics, and search the discussion forums to find the people you might want to study with.**Additional ResourcesIdentifying Independent and Dependent variables 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0jTMDtX4WY âINTERACTIVE: Part 1: Identify the Independent and Dependent Variables with the MythBusters!âIdentifying Independent and Dependent variables 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFIvsqVir48 âIndependent, Dependent and Confounding Variables in Quantitative ResearchâScales of Measurement 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIBZUk39ncI âScales of Measurement - Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, Ratio (Part 1) - Introductory StatisticsâScales of Measurement 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuBD49SFpWs âScales of Measurement - Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, & Ratio Scale Dataâ
