Method Of Learning

A statistical study seeks to answer some question.”  (Warren, Denley & Atchley, 2014, p. 19).  Each student will select a unique question that they would like to answer.  Each question will be answered by collecting, organizing and analyzing data using methods learned in this class.  That question may pertain to personal interests or career.  Projects may not have duplicate topics.  Project topics will be approved in the order the instructor receives them.  The following list is meant to stimulate ideas.  These topics may not be used by students.   Sample ideas: 1.       Does the number of customers waiting in line depend on day?  (Chi-square test) 2.       Does a specific method of learning improve grades?  (Hypothesis test for mean) 3.       Does the wait time at one traffic light vary significantly from the standard wait time? (Hypothesis test for variation) 4.       Does summer training reduce fall sports injuries? (Compare proportions between two sets of data) 5.       Does the level of education earned affect money earned?  (Regression analysis with r-value) Purpose:   The Final Project serves to document your understanding of the course material.  Understanding how to apply Inferential Statistics is a cornerstone of this course.   Length:  Your project will need a minimum of 3 pages that includes: introduction, body, charts & graphs and raw data. You will also need the title page and bibliography (references)
