PART 1: Hypothesis (2 points) You must form a hypothesis about something that you find interesting. It must be something easily measurable and numeric and the hypothesis must be based on either supporting or arguing against an outside source book, tv, online, whatever. Nothing nominal. And nothing too personal that people are not going to be willing to answer, or answer honestly (cough, response bias, cough). Furthermore, it must be about a MEAN ONLY. And you MUST do this BEFORE the data collection. Please be sure to show me your hypothesis before you begin data collection. I also advise you to stick with \"greater than\" or \"less than\" hypotheses, as \"exact\" hypotheses are nearly impossible to support, unless you're dealing with very small data value ranges or an extremely small population. Examples of good hypotheses: - Blahblahblaheom claims that Americans own on average 10 pairs of pants. I believe the actual mean is less than that. - Some tv personality said that college students are awake for 15 hours per day. I believe the actual mean is less than that. My psychology textbook indicated that math professors drink at least 5 shots of tequila per day. I believe the actual mean is greater than that. Notice how each of these examples would have subjects answering my question with 21 NUMBER. Note also that you might want to prepare yourself for questions about measures of variables. For example, \"do you count shorts as pants,\" or \"how many ounces is a shot?\" Examples of bad hypotheses: - The average American likes the color blue. The average college student has at least 3 family members she is ashamed of because of their lengthy prison sentences. Do not be upset if it turns out your hypothesis is unsupported. Life would be pretty boring if we were right 100% of the time. PART 2: Data Collection (2 points) , You must survey at least 50 people and ask them the question pertaining to your hypothesis. You do not need to write down names. It's completely anonymous. Please make sure you provide your data set when you hand in the nalized project. PART 3: Descriptive Analysis (6 points) (A) First, tell me your population and sample. Population must correspond to your hypothesis. (B) Then tell me what type of data you have collected Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, or Ratio. Explain why. (C) Then calculate the mean, median, mode, Q1, Q3, range, IQR, and standard deviation of your data, and include a frequency distribution. Y0u can do so on Excel. (D) Then create an APPROPRIATE histogram for your data. Again, you may use Excel. If you are uncomfortable with Excel, you may create one by hand using crayons, unicorn stickers, and glitter. PART 4: (2 points) Determine the skew (if there 1s any) and explain 1n words Wcular sample. Be m\"... '4. 4". nAn-\"n '4' -,n.... A"... "4...!" any! as :\"n& n \"Annuin
