Question

Answer

State the question you will pursue in the box to the right. (This should be copied and pasted from the list of questions and should be the same question submitted in weeks 2 and 3 unless you have changed your question.)

What test/analysis technique will you perform?

(It is highly recommended that you choose ONLY ONE test or technique. Some examples include a t-test, regression, etc.)

There is a hypothesis test associated with your test/technique (even if you are not doing a t-test).

What is your null hypothesis?

What is your alternative hypothesis?

How will your technique(s)/test(s) help you answer your question of interest?

Which specific calculations will you need to perform your test? (This may require research.) You do not need to perform the calculations at this time; just state which ones you will perform. Name each and every calculation that will be needed to perform the test/technique above.

What types of graphs will be useful in explaining your results? Please be specific and include which variables will be used and how they will be broken down.

Some examples include a vertical bar chart showing the average age for each eye color, a scatter plot with height on the horizontal axis and weight on the vertical axis, etc.

If you chose any question other than the first one, you will have to research techniques that we have not learned about yet.

Which technique will you research?

(Only answer if you chose a question that does NOT have to do with gender and length of stay—the first question.)

What is your plan for researching this technique (timeframe and source)?

(Only answer if you chose a question that does NOT have to do with gender and length of stay—the first question.)
