MATH 37 COURSE PROJECT Draft due: 5 pm Friday April 28 Final draft due: 11pm Thursday, May 4 Overview of the Assignment The course project is for project groups to investigate a myth or problem of their choice. Once the myth or problem has been identified, students will construct k (k is the number of people in your group) claims about the myth or problem and collect data related to those claims. Once the data has been collected, the project groups will use inferential statistics (hypothesis testing) to determine if there is evidence to support the claims and thus the overarching myth or problem. Assignment At this point project groups should have started the project in as much as group will have had the project proposal approved and have begun collecting data. Recall that project groups were to have k research questions/claim about the overarching myth or problem, where k is the number of people in the group. Project groups are required to have (at least) one claim/research question from category (a) and one from category (b). (a) Investigating a relationship between two categorical variables. (One categorical variable should be the explanatory variable and the other the response variable.) (b) Investigating a relationship between one categorical and one numerical variable. (The categorical variable should be the explanatory variable and the numerical variable should be the response variable.) (c) Investigating a relationship between two numerical variables. (One numerical variable should be the explanatory variable and the other should be the response variable.) With the collected data, project groups can begin the analysis by performing hypothesis tests using R to draw conclusions about the claims. Project groups will need to correctly identify the appropriate statistical procedure to analyze the data. Groups should be using R for all calculation in this project (Failure to use R will result in a lower grade). Once groups have the data 1 analyzed, the group will write a formal report summarizing the findings (one report per group). See the format below. Overall project format is given below. After that specifics requirement for individual tests is given. 2 Final Project Format Title Page: Always attach a title page with report title, names of group members, and date. Introduction: Discuss what the overall purpose of the project (overarching myth/problem), describe the questions which were investigated, and discuss any predictions or hypotheses made prior to carrying out the statistical analysis. Use citations to support your ideas. Methods: Defined and describe the population(s) and the sample. Address if the sample is random and assess if the sample is representative of the population. Describe how the data was collected, biases encountered, and what statistical tools/software were used to analyze the data. Results and Discussion: Quote relevant statistics and list all tables/figures derived during the analysis. The way in which variables was measured should be discussed. (Example: Explain if grades were measured using letter grades or a 4.0 scale.) All table and figures should include captions which describe their significance. Tables should be neatly organized and NEVER JUST be “cut and paste” R output. “Discussion” means elaborate on the results and what was interpreted from the data in addressing the questions and predictions or hypotheses initially posed in the introduction. Address assumptions for each hypothesis test performed. Conclusions: Restate the purpose of the investigations and summarize the findings from Results and Discussion. Use the summary to answer the overarching myth or question that was posed in the introduction. Discuss any limitations of the study and propose future research ideas. Have at least one paragraph dedicated to each of the following: 1) summary of statistical tests and addressing of overarching myth/problem, 2) limitations, and 3) future research Works Cited: Include all relevant outside sources cited in MLA format. Appendix: 1) The appendix should include your raw data (to grade the statistics computed in the lab, the raw data is needed.) 2) The questionnaire used to collect data, if appropriate. 3) R session outputs 4) Other relevant material particular to the report. Appropriately label each element in the appendix. See Sample Final Project. 3 Grading Rubric for the Written Project (Tentative) Section Points Possible Section I - Introduction a.
