Data Analysis Project

Data Project: …………….

Data Analysis Project

The project involves the following five parts:

· Introduction (what is the hypothesis you want to test; what is the population data you have in mind)

· Data collection (what your sample data is and from where you collect them; on what basis you are convinced the sample is random)

· Data summary and visualization (the basic summary statistics of your data and a visualization of the main feature of the data)

· hypothesis testing (a statistical statement of the hypothesis you want to test and the test statistics that you have computed)

· conclusion (what you can conclude concerning your hypothesis based on your test statistics)

You can choose your favorite statistical software to conduct the project. Each student is asked to write a two-page memo of the data project detailing the above four parts and to submit the data file along with the memo.

To assist you with managing the schedule working on your data project, I create four milestone checkpoints on canvas before the final submission for you to self-check whether you are on track or not. You can submit the related material at that point to show me that you have attained the milestones, but these submissions will not be graded and will not be credited. The only way to earn more credits is to make your final submission before the final week (more details in the grading section).
