Select a random sample of data from your dataset. The data should have a minimum of 30 cases, but not more than 200 cases. (Hint: You can use the “random” function in either Excel or SPSS to generate a random sample from your dataset.)

Explain your justification for using the test based on the type of data and the level of measurement (show all calculations).
