You had the chance earlier in the week to practice with the one-way ANOVA and obtain peer feedback. Now it is time to put all of that good practice to use and answer a social research question with the one-way ANOVA. As you head into the assignment, be sure and pay close attention to the assumptions of the test. Specifically, make sure the dependent and independent variables (factor) are amenable to use in the ANOVA (i.e., be sure to note levels of measurement).

For this Assignment, you will examine the one-way ANOVA based on a research question.

To prepare for this Assignment:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources and media program related to one-way ANOVA testing.
• Use the Course Guide and Assignment Help found in this week’s Learning Resources and search for a quantitative article related to post-hoc tests and consider providing and interpreting post-hoc tests along with commenting on the strength of any relationship found (effect size).
• Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you choose) found in the Learning Resources for this week.
• Based on the dataset you chose, construct a research question that can be answered with a one-way ANOVA.
• Once you perform your one-way ANOVA analysis, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.

For this Assignment:

Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your one-way ANOVA results for your research question. Include any post-hoc tests with an analysis of the strength of any relationship found (effect size). Also, in your analysis, display the data for the output. Based on your results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social change might be.

Use proper APA format, citations, and referencing for your analysis, research question, and display of output.

Assignment 1: The Role of Project Managers Due Week 2 and worth 100 points Research job boards for project manager positions. Take note of the various industries that hire project managers. Then, research statistics from the project management institute on the rate of success of projects in different industries including IT. Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:

1. Explain project management as a discipline.
2. Describe the industries in which project managers are in high demand. Provide evidence to support your response.
3. Describe the general role of a project manager, and explain the primary ways in which it differs across different industries.
4. Compare the rate of success of projects in IT and other industries. Explain the discrepancy or lack thereof. 
5. Use at least two (2) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Identify how project management improves the success of information technology projects.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in IT project management.
• Write clearly and concisely about issues in IT project management using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.
