Part III. Analysis

Part IIIa: Descriptive Statistics

Analyze the data collected for each of the variables using graphs, tables, and descriptive statistics.

Describe what these summary values and graphs suggest about the variables. Specifically, does the data

for each appear to be normally distributed? (Note: A boxplot, histogram, or stem-and-leaf graph and

summary descriptive statistics are required for each variable.)

Part IIIb: Analysis

Assess the relationship of the two variables using a scatterplot, finding the correlation coefficient, least-

squares regression line, and coefficient of determination.

Summarize the results of your analysis specifically noting the following:

Does your analysis provide evidence of correlation? Support your decision with statistical

evidence related to the significance of the r-value.

Use your least-squares regression line to predict a value of y for a value of x that is within the

scope of your data.

Report and interpret the coefficient of determination.

Use confidence intervals and hypothesis testing to complete the analysis.

Part 4. Discussion

Discuss the following questions based on your results from Part 3.

Describe what the descriptive analysis of the data related to the x- and y- variables suggests about

the variables.

Explain what the correlation (or lack thereof) suggests about these variables.

Evaluate the predictive appropriateness of the linear model (the linear regression equation).

Support your evaluation with analysis values including the coefficient of determination.

Identify and discuss possible sources of bias in how the sample was selected, study designed, or

survey conducted and any confounding (lurking) variables.

At this point, the paper is almost complete. Compile all of the information you completed in previous

project assignments into a cogent, professional paper with narrative, graphs, and references. Do NOT put

your data into your paper. Enter the data or any calculations into an Appendix.

Part 5. Conclusion

Summarize the results, the study's implications, and recommendations for future studies relating to this

research topic.

Summarize your final conclusions based on your sample data and your initial stated goals for the

study.

Were you were surprised by the results of your project or did your summary verify what you

suspected? Why or why not?

Make any recommendations for further studies on this topic. Discuss what you have learned by

doing this project.

What would you do differently the next time you do research?
