Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 in the course text, Chapter 6 and pages 129 to 142 in Chapter 8 of the Jarman e-book, the Instructor Guidance for Week 4, and watch the ANOVA: Crash Course Statistics #33 (Links to an external site.) and ANOVA Part 2: Dealing with Intersectional Groups: Crash Course Statistics #34 (Links to an external site.) videos. You may also wish to review the information about inferential statistics from Week 3. In this discussion, you will evaluate a research question and determine how that question might best be analyzed. To do this, you will need to explain statistical concepts and assess assumptions, limitations, and implications associated with statistical tests._x000D_
