Choose a Topic from the list given. Identify exactly what you plan to find out by the end of your research (the goal). This may require rewording the topic statement and could be written as a question. Step 2. Identify the intended population. Once you have chosen a research topic, you can then begin to identify the intended population that your topic represents. Your identification of the intended population should be specific, concise, and complete. Step 3. Choose a data collection technique. After deciding on a population, determine which data collection method would best fit your research design FROM THE COLLECTION TECHNIQUES LEARNED IN THIS COURSE. We have learned various data collection methods in our first statistic lesson - review these videos if you do not know what the data collection techniques are. Also, list any bias that might occur when gathering data for this statistical study. We also learned different ways bias can be avoided within some of these methods, so include possible areas of bias and measures to take that might eliminate them in your discussion. Step 4. Discuss all the aspects of the sampling techniques or Methods. For Surveys and Experiments: If you chose a survey or experiment, include the sampling technique FROM THE SAMPLING TECHNIQUES LEARNED IN THIS COURSE. Discuss the following: How would you choose who to collect the data from and how to collect the data: Be sure the procedure randomly selects sample members, is one that ensures the data is being collected from the intended population, eliminates bias as much as possible, and is respected in statistics. Also, use statistics vocabulary and tools in your procedure as is necessary. Then explain a step-by-step procedure for how you would employ the method to collect data that satisfies your research criteria. For experiments, include terms like placebo, control, blind, or double blind, as necesary. For Simulations: If you chose to do a simulation, explain clearly, completely, and accurately how you would conduct the simulation. Include any statistical tools you would use or set up, as necessary. Include a statement on how the technique is a simulation and why a simulation is ethically necessary. Then explain a step-by-step procedure for how you would employ the method to collect data that satisfies your research criteria. All information should use statistics vocabulary learned in this course, appropriately. Topic and Analysis Question: Discuss and describe the topic and why you chose it. Include the question or idea you want to be answered at the end of the study. This should be at least 3 clearly written sentences that fully and accurately explains the topic you choose, why you chose it, and what question or idea you want answered by at the end of the study. Be sure to use vocabulary and ideas learned from this course. Furthermore, these sentences should be in your voice and written by you. If it is found that you used sentences written by another person, internet site, AI, or anything else other than you, you will receive a 0 on this assessment. Intended Population Describe the intended population your topic represents. Be specific, concise, and complete in your explanation. Provide a statement as to why this population describes the topic you choose. This should be at least 2 clearly written sentences that fully and accurately explains the intended population using vocabulary and ideas learned from this course. Furthermore, these sentences should be in your voice and written by you. If it is found that you used sentences written by another person, internet site, AI, or anything else other than you, you will receive a 0 on this assessment. Data Collection Technique: Determine the data collection technique that is best to use for your topic and statistical study. Be sure it is one that we learned from this course. Describe the technique and explain why it is the best one for your topic. In your explanation, include why you did not and should not choose some of the others, as well as; why some of the others could have been chosen but you preferred this one. This should be at least 5 clearly written sentences that fully and accurately explains the chosen technique used to collect data using vocabulary and ideas learned from this course. These sentences should also include the other techniques and why they were not suited for this study topic OR why you preferred this on for the study topic. Furthermore, these sentences should be in your voice and written by you. If it is found that you used sentences written by another person, internet site, AI, or anything else other than you, you will receive a 0 on this assessment. Sampling Technique or methods: Determine the sampling technique, observational methods, or simulation tools that is best to use for your topic and statistical study. For Surveys and Experiments: If you chose a survey or experiment, include the sampling technique FROM THE SAMPLING TECHNIQUES LEARNED IN THIS COURSE. Discuss the following: How would you choose who to collect the data from and how to collect the data: Be sure the procedure randomly selects sample members, is one that ensures the data is being collected from the intended population, eliminates bias as much as possible, and is respected in statistics. Also, use statistics vocabulary and tools in your procedure as is necessary. Then explain a step-by-step procedure for how you would employ the method to collect data that satisfies your research criteria. For experiments, include terms like placebo, control, blind, or double blind, as necessary. For Simulations: If you chose to do a simulation, explain clearly, completely, and accurately how you would conduct the simulation. Include any statistical tools you would use or set up, as necessary. Include a statement on how the technique is a simulation and why a simulation is ethically necessary. Then explain a step-by-step procedure for how you would employ the method to collect data that satisfies your research criteria. All information should use statistics vocabulary learned in this course, appropriately. For Observations: If you are doing an observation, completely determine and explain the research method you plan to use to explore the behavior. Include the concept of scheduling time, ethics of each method, disadvantages and advantages, and objectivity. Also, use statistics vocabulary and tools in your procedure as is necessary. Then explain a step-by-step procedure for how you would employ the method to collect data that satisfies your research criteria. For this section, you should have at least 5 clearly written sentences that fully and accurately explains the chosen technique used to select a sample, methods used when observing or performing a simulation. The sentences should use appropriate and accurate vocabulary and ideas learned from this course. These sentences should also include some of the other techniques or methods and why they were not suited for this study topic OR why you preferred this one for the study. All sentences must use proper statistical vocabulary learned in this course when appropriate. Furthermore, these sentences should be in your voice and written by you. If it is found that you used sentences written by another person, internet site, AI, or anything else other than you, you will receive a 0 on this assessment.
