Find a measure of variability used in the study for one of the variables and describe it (e.g. ‘the researchers shared that the variance for number of cigarettes smoked daily was 20’).
Describe the key findings (Don’t worry about reading the ‘results’ section of your chosen article. We will learn more about this in the next few weeks of class. Review the discussion and share the key points from that section of the paper).
