Requirements for the Project 

Each student in the class will develop a hypothesis that involves paired data. A group of several students will individually collect data to test the hypothesis. A report will be turned in that discusses the results of the test, the method of the test, and the validity of the test. The report must be more than two pages not including raw data and graphs.  Included in the report will be all applicable methods of data interpretation that we have learned in class. Included are:

  • A Hypothesis test on the slope
  • A regression line equation and graph and an explanation of what it means for your particular problem
  • The correlation and its interpretations.
  • A paired data hypothesis test.
  • Summary statistics including means, median, standard deviation, trimmed mean.
  • All appropriate graphs.
  • Confidence intervals for each individual data set and for the paired difference.
  • A discussion of the assumptions that you are making.
  • An appendix that includes all referred to StatCrunch or other printouts.

Remember that this is a report, not a math assignment.  Include and introduction, body and conclusion.  Do not just give a list of the above mentioned items.
