Providing the comparisons with frequencies, median, standard deviation, population, and percentages, we were able to adequately determine the effectiveness of TMG.

Exercise 16 (4 points per question) 1. The researchers analyzed the data they collected as though it were at what level of measurement? (Change your response to blue.) a. nominal b. ordinal c. interval/ratio d. experimental 2. What was the mean posttest empowerment score for the control group?
The mean posttest empowerment score for the control group is 97.12 3. Compare the mean baseline and posttest depression scores of the experimental group. Was this an expected finding? Provide a rationale for your answer.

I would expect to see a lower score for the experimental group, as it is the group that is being used to determine if the rate of depression was to decrease after
