This analysis examines complaints across four regions using the WickedWitch dataset, focusing on descriptive statistics and ANOVA. The West region has the highest average complaints, while the East has the largest variability. ANOVA results indicate no statistically significant differences in average complaints among the regions, as the p-value (0.071) exceeds the 0.05 significance level.

ANALYSIS OF WICKEDWITCH COMPLAINTS BY REGION

Introduction

This analysis investigates the number of complaints made across different regions using

the data from the WickedWitch.csv dataset. The objective is to determine whether there are

statistically significant differences in complaints among the four regions using descriptive

statistics and ANOVA.

a) Descriptive Statistics by Region

The data was successfully imported into JASP. Descriptive statistics for the variable

'Complaint' split across regions are shown in the included screenshot. These statistics summarize

the central tendency and variability of complaints for each region (Field, 2018).

1. The region with the highest average number of complaints is West with an average of

17.50.

2. The region with the largest standard deviation of complaints is East with a standard

deviation of 6.55.

3. Based on the descriptive statistics, there appears to be variability in the average

number of complaints between regions. This suggests potential differences that warrant further

testing using ANOVA (Gravetter & Wallnau, 2017).

Figure 1 below shows the descriptive statistics output from JASP:


b) Hypothesis Statement

Null Hypothesis (H₀): The average number of complaints is the same across all four

regions.

Alternative Hypothesis (H₁): At least one region has a different average number of

complaints compared to the others.

c) ANOVA Analysis in JASP


ANOVA was performed using JASP with 'Complaints' as the dependent variable and

'Region' as the fixed factor. This test evaluates whether the means of complaints differ

significantly across the regions.

Figure 2 below shows the ANOVA output from JASP:

1. The F-statistic is 2.45 and the p-value is 0.071.

2. At a 5% significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis because the p-value

(0.071) is greater than 0.05. This implies that there is no statistically significant difference in the

average number of complaints across the regions (Gravetter & Wallnau, 2017).
