The data MUST be at least 30 and continuous data. Some examples are the actual weight of 5-lbs bean bags sold at Wal-Mart, the time given by a park-o-meter for 25 cents, the height of 30 people you know, the length of drive to work for 30 day, the time it takes you to brush your teeth, Gas prices for 30 stations for the same company and so forth. For this project you need to present a paper which at minimum covers the following:
1. A valid and useful research question. For example what if some stakeholder is interested in showing the accuracy, or lack thereof, of the claim made on the bean bags about the weight of the beans inside.
2. Background on the research question and the interested stakeholder and what is at stake
3. A comprehensive research methodology to include, at minimum, the following:
a. The logic behind the sample size and collection methodology
b. Qualifications for the person(s) collecting the data
c. Equipment or instruments needed to collect the data. Type, accuracy, age or any relevant characteristics have to be identified.
d. How to collect the data
e. How to record the data.
f. What to do with the data once collected.
g. Etc.
4. Show all descriptive statistical analysis for the data. Examples are mean, mode, median, Standard Deviation and so forth.
5. Present the data in the appropriate graphical form.
6. Define a confidence interval question and work out the answer using this data
7. Define one probability question and work out the answer using this data
