Research Project

You are doing research on balance and fitness. To complete this research you will use the Excel file which has random sample of n = 12 men and n = 8 women. The file contains data about three questions

i) How long each subject stayed balanced in a particular yoga pose. ii) How many days per week they exercise iii) What is their favorite exercise

Part 1 - Initial Report - March 26th You will analyze your data and compute the following statistics foreachgroup:

1) The Mean and Standard Deviation of thenumber of secondsthe subjects stayed balanced 2) The Mediannumber of days per weekexercised 3) The Mode of thefavorite exercise

Write a one - two paragraph introduction to your research, discuss how important exercise is, how yoga is good for the mind and body or any other aspect you would like to highlight about balance and fitness. Identify your hypothesis regarding the amount of time the two groups will stay balanced, do you believe they will stay balanced for an equal amount of time or do you think they will be different. Copy and paste your data or otherwise present all your raw data and your statistics in an organized manner

Part 2 - Final Report -

You will analyze your data and compute the following statistics: 4) The 90% confidence interval of the mean (foreachgroup)

5) Construct a complete hypothesis test and determine if the two groups have significantly different balance using = 0.05.

Write a final page with your conclusions about the research project you undertook. Be sure to reference your initial hypothesis.
