Statistics Project for MRMATHEXPERT ONLYYYYYYYY

FINAL PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

You are to collect a quantitative response variable for samples from each of two groups. The groups can be different types of people (e.g., Males & Females, Stay-at-home Moms & Working Mothers, etc.), different types of things (large paper helicopters & small paper helicopters, etc.), different processes (studying with the TV on & studying at your desk in a quiet room).

You will then write a report and develop a short 5 min presentation. The report will contain the data, your hypotheses and data analysis. Other important information to be included is listed in "The Scientific Approach" handed out in class.

At several points during the term we will discuss the Final Project using the Helicopter experiment as an example. Also I have available some past Final Reports that you will be able to look at to help you determine how you want to go about the write-up. I am not providing you with a specific template to follow.

Final reports don't have to be typed. Good reports have the appropriate charts and graphs to help the reader see your approach and conclusions.

Final presentations can be powerpoint presentations, posterboard displays, or overhead presentations. Content is more important than pizzazz. The goal is not to just stand up and talk. You should "present" something, namely the important highlights of your study. If your study involved groups of items, examples of them would be good to bring in.
