Module 1 Group Activity (Group 3)

OVERVIEW

Working in groups of three or four, you will develop a set of data tables and figures. The mentor will
assign the groups and related data/exercises. Utilizing APA guidelines for displaying information, each
group should:

● Choose the most appropriate method(s) and correct format(s) to display the data provided in
each example
● Describe why this format is appropriate for the data provided

You will be assigned a group forum in Moodle that you should use to collaborate within your group. Upon
