Goal: Collect data and conduct a full statistical test of a hypothesis about the population mean.
Data: Obtain data on a topic of your interest either by looking it up or by conducting a survey.
Your variable of interest should be quantitative (numeric). It should be something for which
knowing the mean is relevant and makes sense. Some examples include:
Your sample size should be greater than 30.
Procedure:
reject your null hypothesis, and write a conclusion in the context of your data.
Details: The project is due at the beginning of class on Thursday, November 6 (no extensions).
About half of your time on this project may be spent obtaining the data, but if you are having
difficulty with the data collection step, see me. The project should be formatted, organized, and
free of spelling and grammar mistakes.
