Allied MAT130 course project

Please answer the following questions:

1. How would you rate your data gathering effort? Would you consider your data to be unbiased? Explain what steps you took to keep the data unbiased, or explain what could have done better to prevent the bias.

2. Before you begin analyzing the data, what do you believe you might conclude from it? This is not limited to any single question, but rather you are asked to formulate a claim based on the results.

3. Create a table and record your data from the survey. You may use the table below as a template or use Excel (note: if you decide to use Excel, please be sure to upload that file as well; remember that iBoard allows you to upload multiple files).

a. Compute the median, mode, range, mean, variance, and standard deviation of the survey response. (You may use technological tools like Excel, a TI graphing calculator, or try finding a free online tool that will help you with your computations.)

b. Compute the median, mode, range, mean, variance, and standard deviation of the survey response from only the male participants.

c. Compute the median, mode, range, mean, variance, and standard deviation of the survey response from only the female participants.

4. Construct a frequency distribution table of your results

5. What type of distribution does your data fall under? Justify your answer.

6. Do you expect to have about the same results in a larger data sample?

7. Make a claim based on your findings (you can claim what you inferred about the population from the previous problem) and test it by doing the following:

a. Identify the null hypothesis.

b. Identify the alternative hypothesis.

c. Identify the test statistic, P-value or critical value(s), and what test you will use to test your claim.

d. Identify the conclusion about the null hypothesis and final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
