Requirements for Project 3

Below is a checklist if items that must be addressed for Project 3.

• A description of the sampling technique that was made.  Any technique may be used for this project.  The variable must be quantitative.  The sample size must be greater than 30.
  
  
• A list of the summary statistics and an interpretation of each.  This can be found in StatCrunch and includes the mean, variance, Standard Deviation, standard error, and several other statistics.
  
  
• A hypothesis test and its interpretations.  Be sure to state the null and alternative hypothesis and the motivation for the alternative hypothesis.  This should be the highlight of your paper, so be sure to elaborate fully.
  
  
• Assumptions that are made.
  
  
• A discussion of why your topic and results are important.
  
  
• A discussion of how further studies could be done in order to delve deeper into the topic.  Discuss how the P-Value may indicate that a more thorough study would or would not be warranted.

Grading will be based on completeness, mathematical accuracy, proper use of statistical terminology, and your ability to communicate the results.  All statistics must be computer generated.  The paper should be  typed, double spaced, and have 12 point font.  The Writing Center is an excellent source to get assistance on your writing and the MSC is a great place to go for statistics assistance.
