Design 3 hypotheses around the following information of Gender, Housing, and School Year of Talking to a Librarian: Yes. No.

Overview: Using data collected from 154 students at a fictitious college, you will analyze several items from a common theme on this survey. Necessary Components Step 1: State an appropriate research question Step 2: Design Study and Collect Data a. Give an overall description of the type of sample (random, convenience, etc.) along with the sample size. b. State the specific question that you are analyzing, along with the possible responses. c. Using the appropriate explanatory variable (housing, gender, Year), define observational units, the response variable, and appropriate parameters. d. Next state Ho and Ha in words. For tests involving two proportions, also include the hypotheses in symbols Step 3: Explore the data a. Provide a summary of your sample data. Provide a two-way table that includes row and column totals. b. Compute the appropriate sample statistic c. Provide an appropriate visual display (e.g., segmented bar graph) Step 4: Draw inferences beyond the data a. Use an appropriate applet to conduct a significance test. Provide a summary of your findings in terms of a p-value and the strength of evidence. Explain what this means in terms of your hypotheses in step 2. Note that you may decide to use a Theory-based test if the validity conditions are met. Include screenshot(s). For Chapter 8 (Multiple Proportions) tests, choose ?2 (rather than MAD). b. Find a confidence interval (if using a Two Proportions test) and interpret your results by comparing them to the significance test done in step 4a. Step 5: Formulate conclusions a. Explain whether or not your results can be generalized to the entire student population b. Discuss whether or not your results allow for causation to be established Step 6: Look back and ahead a. Describe any limitations or problems connected to this data project. b. Discuss possible improvements that you would suggest be done for future surveys. Summary of Major Findings: In a well-written paragraph, describe your overall findings. Be sure to include reference to the four pillars (significance, estimation, generalization and causation.)
