Description
I’m doing a final project for a statistics class, which requires graphs and other explanations. Mastering the concepts in Introductory Statistics assists in building critical thinking skills, developing
businesses and organizations, and solving all types of problems that require data. But an understanding
of statistics extends beyond the ability to crunch numbers or use a software program. The ability to
collect, organize, and analyze data is the beginning. The ability to clearly communicate your results
to another person is the mark of true mastery.
The Assignment
In this assignment, you will choose a scenario with data – from one of 5 options provided at the end
of these directions under Project Topics – and you will construct a paper that pulls together the
statistics you have learned in order to answer a question. You will:
1. Introduce the main question, and explain the data that you will use to address it
2. Organize your data by providing appropriate charts, graphs and descriptive statistics
3. Analyze your data by conducting a hypothesis test
4. State your conclusions and recommendations
See the section Outline Of Material To Present below for a more detailed explanation of what you will
submit for each of these four sections.
