Descriptive Statistics

The JASP output is again split for each university separately. From these tables it is clear that Sussex and Duncetown students scored similarly on computer literacy (both means are very similar). Sussex students attended slightly more lectures (63.27%) than their Duncetown counterparts (56.26%). The histograms are also split according to the university attended. All of the distributions look fairly normal. The only exception is the computer literacy scores for the Sussex students. This is a fairly flat distribution apart from a huge peak between 50% and 60%. It's slightly heavy-tailed (right at the very ends of the curve the bars come above the line) and very pointy. This suggests positive kurtosis. If you examine the values of kurtosis you will find extreme positive kurtosis as indicated by a value that is more than 2 standard deviations from 0 (i.e. no excess kurtosis), 1.38 / 0.662 = 2.08.
