(2) For our second more narrow search, go back and search for the title of the article that you chose originally. Type A PORTION of the article title into the search bar and find the full PDF for that article. Step 4: Complete your lab by taking the following steps 1. Copy and paste, or post a screen shot of the frequency distribution from the article you chose at the top of your Word document. 2. On your first search, what terms did you use, and what other things did you mark on the search page before conducting your search? Why did you choose the article that you did? How many articles were found with these search terms? Give the full APA reference of the article you are using for this lab. 3. What data are shown in the frequency distribution and why might it be of interest? Include the size of the classes, noting if they are of a consistent size or not. Also include a conclusion that could be made from the frequency distribution. (1 to 2 paragraphs) 4. How else might these data have been displayed? Discuss pros and cons of 2 other presentation options, such as tables or different graphical displays (1 to 2 paragraphs) Step 5: Be sure your name is on the Word document, save it, and then submit it under "Assignments" and "Week 3: Lab".
