statistics HW due in 5 hrs

For the project, you address some questions that interest you with the statistical methodology we learn in Statistics 273. You choose the question; you decide how to collect data; you do the analyses. The questions can address almost any topic, including topics in psychology, sociology, natural science, medicine, public policy, sports, law, etc. 

Guidelines for making an effective poster

An effective poster communicates your project in a clear and concise fashion. The poster should address the following six points:

1. Statement of the problem: Describe the questions you address and any key issues surrounding the questions.

2. Data collection: Explain how you collect data. Include any questions you asked. Also, include response rates.

3. Analyses: Describe the analyses you did. Be ready to explain why you believe these methods are justified.

4. Results: Present relevant descriptive statistics (e.g., number of men and women surveyed, if that is important). Include tables or graphs that support your analyses (be judicious here--too many tables and graphs hurts the clarity of your message).

5. Conclusions: Answer your question of interest.

6. Discussion: What implications do your results have for the population you sampled from?  What could be done to improve the study if it was done again? What types of biases might exist?

You should strive to make the poster clear. Avoid unnecessary clutter, and don't put too much information on any one page. Think about what you would want to see on other people's posters as guidance for creating your poster. Here is an example template:
