Include the descriptive table summary at the end of your initial post. A summary of the information pulled from both the histogram-density plot as well as the boxplot. Include the graphs in your initial post. A critique about the measurement validity and measurement reliability if such exist (this part will help you review these concepts from Module 1!) Respond to ideas for future research: do you think that differences in these responses are related to something else? Do you think different groups could have different data patterns? Do you think differences in these values may impact various responses or beliefs? 2) Be sure that your initial blog post is between 500-700 words in accordance to the rubric (attached). This doesn’t count the summary tables.
