DV as integers?

Looking at the data, would it be fair to assume the DV is restricted to integers (since none of the data contains decimals)?

I ask because I think this affects the number of decimal places we report.

Thanks!

    Great catch, David. You may define your DV in any way that you like. So for instance, if you want to report to one decimal, define your DV as integers. If you'd like two decimals, you could consider it a random happy chance that none of your participants scored X.5, but that X.5 was, in fact, a possible value.
