I have attached the word file, all the instruction and
requirements are there. There are five parts of assignment, I have
already completed first (Topic Approval) and second (Written
Project Proposal) parts , you just need to continue and
finish other requirement, if you have any question please let me
know.
Structured External Assignment
Purpose: The Structured External Assignment serves to
document your understanding of the course
material. Analyzing data using statistical methods is a
cornerstone of this course.
Process:
Each part of the process MUST be completed PRIOR to
completing the next part of the process.
1.
Topic Approval
Do females are more accurate than males to remember the names
of celebrities? (Compare
proportions between two sets of data)
2. Written Project Proposal.
A. Your research question.
Whether females are more accurate than males to remember the
names of celebrities.
B. Your methods for collecting data, specify your method of
sampling.
Using quantitative research data collection method, random
males and females were
surveyed with a question.
C. Your methods for displaying your data, specify the graphs
you will use.
I will use Pie Chart or Circle Graph. I will also use a 2-way
table
D. Your method of analyzing data, such as linear regression
or hypothesis test.
I can start with comparing two independent population
proportions, move to comparing
two independent population means, from there to paired
population means, and ending with the
comparison of two independent population variances. It will
help me to determine in the analysis
of two independent population means whether to use the equal
variances 2-sample t-test or
pooled variances 2-sample t-test.
3. Data Collection
Rules for data:
1. Data must be publicly available, or, you must have
permission in writing to share that data
publicly. Sources must be provided. You must be able to
calculate the mean, the standard
deviation, a proportion or perform linear regression from the
data. Do not simply use descriptive
statistics calculated by someone else in their study.
2. Data must be unbiased, particularly if you are collecting
it. Data collection techniques must be
provided.
3. No experiments on humans or animals are permitted.
4. Data must be resubmitted to improve grade if “exemplary
status” was not achieved.
Rubric for Data Collection:
Exemplary 9-10
Data is clearly labeled,
source is provided and
valid.
Accomplished 6-8
Labeling for data needs
clarification, but source
is provided and valid.
Developing 3-5
Data is vague, but
source is provided and
valid.
Beginning 0-2
Data is vague and
source is not provided
and/or not valid.
4. Written Report. APA Format is required.
a. Introduction: ¼ to ½ page in length. In an interesting
manner, describe why you chose your
question and why it is relevant. State the population and
variables involved.
b. Body of Report:
1. Data Collection: Explain how you gathered your data in
detail. What was your
sampling method? Where did you obtain your data? What
additional resources did
you explore for information on your chosen topic? Did you ask
an expert in the field?
Did you reference a book or encyclopedia? Did you use the
internet? How did you
avoid bias? Document these sources properly.
2. Data Organization: Organize your data in attractive
graphs/charts. Select types of
graphs/charts that make your process and conclusions clear.
Label your graphs
appropriately. Do NOT simply use a graph provided on a
website. Make your own
graph.
3. Data Analysis: Provide the actual data in your report.
Show your calculations for
descriptive statistics. Perform hypothesis tests or
regression analysis. Assume a level
of significance of 0.05. Clearly and concisely explain your
methods.
4. Conclusions: Did the data support or contradict your
question? Do you have any
unanswered questions?
c. Bibliography: Minimum of three references. One reference
may be your text. You must
provide a legitimate source for online data.
Written report must be submitted to SafeAssign on Blackboard.
