Project Overview

The best way to understand statistical data analysis is to conduct your own statistical study. In this course you will present a project in which you will choose a research topic relevant to your field of study, collect the data and analyze the data collected.

Your project will consist of several phases. Each phase will be addressed in detail in each module.

Phase 1: Submit a project proposal to the instructor for approval.
Phase 2: Collect, organize data and summarize data
Phase 3: Perform the statistical analysis and report the results of your test.
Phase 4: Summarize the results of your statistical analysis and state conclusions.

• During Week 5, you will collect, organize, and summarize the data.
• During Week 7, you will state your null and alternative hypotheses and conduct the appropriate statistical analysis.
• During Week 9, you will summarize the results of your statistical analysis and construct a PowerPoint of all work from weeks 3-9.

For each of the bi-weekly deliverables, you will submit your assignments via Microsoft Word to the drop box by the due date. The assignments must be properly formatted properly using the Microsoft Equation Editor.

Evaluation

Each assignment leading up to the final assignment is evaluated and graded independently. Your instructor will provide specific grading criteria for each step of the project prior to its due date
