Examine a research article which incorporates t tests or its nonparametric analogs. Briefly summarize and report the statistic and discus whether the assumptions of the test were met and if the type of data was appropriate for the statistical test. Include the following in your paper:

Description of the statistic you intend to examine in the article
Brief description of the study portrayed in the article
Description of how the statistic was used in the study
Explanation of how this is appropriate or inappropriate
Explanation of how assumptions of the test were met or not met
Identification of the levels of measurement of variables in the study
Description of the appropriateness of the level of measurement
Discussion of how the data was displayed (i.e., graphs, tables)
Discussion examining the appropriateness of the data displays (Strengths and weaknesses? Were they appropriate? Why or why not?)
