Data Analysis Plan
For this section of your research proposal assignment, you will carefully design a plan for analyzing your quantitative data. Explain in detail how you will go about analyzing your data. Be sure to:
• Include definitions of all variables
• Identify your null hypothesis and research hypothesis
• Include the type of analysis to be conducted (correlation, t-test, confidence interval, regression, ANOVA, ANCOVA, etc.)
• Explain why this type of analysis is most appropriate for your research
• Identify the significance level (typically set to .05, but may be set to .01 or .10)
• Explain what results you are looking for in your quantitative study (how will you know if you will accept or reject your null and research hypothesis?)
