When writing your paper be sure that you answer all of the questions within your written report. Your written report MUSTfollow the guidelines for presenting research as delineated in the APA Publication Manual 6th edition (title page abstract properly labeled tables and figures etc.).See chapter 2 of the APA Manual 6th edition beginning on page 21 Manuscript Structure and Content. Points will be decuted from your gare if APA guidelines are not followed.
Your submission should include a title page abstract introduction method results discussion and reference list.
See page 27 of the APA Manual 6th edition section 2.05 to see what should be included in the introduction.To see what should be included in the method section turn to page 29 of the APA Publication Manual 6th edition.Section 2.07 on page 32 of the APA Publication Manual 6th edition discusses what should be included in the results section; and section 2.08 on page 35 of the APA Publication Manual 6th edition explains what should be included in the discussion section.

SCENARIO: Dawn and David are researchers who have been examining mortality data for the top ten causes of death nationwide. They have been reviewing mortality reports from the Centers for Disease Control database and are interested in determining whether or not causes of death differ between males and females for each of four geographic regions (North South Midwest West).
You will need the Causes of Death data file to analyze in creation of your Research Paper.The data file is available in the Course Content section of our classroom.
Remember that you will need to conduct a literature review regarding causes of death and related to your research questions.
Based upon the data set provided write a paper that describes the study and the results. Be sure to include the following information in your paper:
1) What are the research hypothesis(es) and what type of research question does it represent (descriptive relationship difference)?State each of the corresponding null hypotheses.
2) What is the independent variable?What are the dependent variables?
3) Construct aFREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION based upon the data set provided.
4) Compute the mean number of unintentional injury deaths for females and for males.
5) Which inferential statistic is MOST appropriate to determine whether males and females differed along the research conditions?
Based upon either accepting or rejecting the null hypothesis:
6) Is there a difference between males and females for eachof the top ten causes of death?
