Project 4, need done ASAP
Project 4: Hypothesis Test
The purpose of this project is to conduct a hypothesis test to test a published claim. You will conduct either a test of the population mean or a test of the population proportion.
1. Find a published article that makes a claim. (You may want to find a statement related to the data from an earlier project. ( )
2. Collect data, at least 15 values or conduct a poll with 20 subjects to test the claim. You can use the data from a previous project to test the claim.
Here is a Project 4 Checklist:
