Module 4 - SLP

Sampling

In this assignment, you will continue to collect data for another 5–10 days. Write a paper (1–3 pages) including all of the following content:

· Recalculate the mean, standard deviation, and variance.

· Is your mean increasing or decreasing?

· Explain the effects of the larger sample size in relation to your data.

· Do you think the current sample you have is enough to draw an accurate conclusion, or do you need a larger sample? 

· What conclusions can you draw from comparing both sets of data?

Submit your paper at the end of Module 4.

SLP Assignment Expectations

Answer all questions posted in the instructions. Use information from the modular background readings and videos as well as any good-quality resource you can find. Cite all sources in APA style and include a reference list at the end of your paper.

Note about page length: Your ability to clearly articulate and explain these concepts is being assessed. The page length is a general guideline. A 3- or 4-page paper does not necessarily guarantee a grade of “A.” An “A” paper would include detailed information and explanations of all the assignment requirements listed above. The letter grade will be based upon demonstrated mastery of the content and ability to articulate and apply the concepts in the assignment. Keep this in mind while writing your paper.
