Term Project

The group term project is designed to give you an opportunity to apply the various statistical ideas that you learn from this course in a real-life application. What you will do is to design and carry out a statistical study. This requires that you define the population and parameters of interest, decide on what variables you wish to consider, select a sampling strategy, collect the data, analyze the data, and put together a virtual presentation.

To get started, form a project team of more than2people but no more than 4 people (a project team of 1 or 2 students is not viable and therefore not acceptable.) Pick a topic that interests your team and/or your teamknows something about.After the formation of the team, please submit, through Email, aone-page project proposal on theresearch objectives and the sampling plan byMay 26, 2019. Please include also the names of the project team.No actual work on the project should be done until you receive approval on the proposal.

Please note that regardless of what you study for the project, the basic requirements are:

• A sample size of at least 100.
• A minimum of 6 variables, at least 3 of them are quantitative (numerical) and at least 2 are categorical; no exception
• Analyses usingboth univariate and bivariate techniques are required; no exceptions.
• Use Excel to analyze the data.

The final product for this project should be in the form of a virtual PowerPoint presentation. All members of a project team must participate in the presentation. Specification on the presentation and how your project will be graded has been posted. Your presentation must include the following components:

1. Introduction (background on the topic, the target population, research objectives and research questions/hypotheses),
2. Ethical considerations (if applicable):the ethical review processand how confidentiality of data was preserved, if applicable the recruitment process and the informed consent process should also be included
3. Sampling design and data collection process (sampling frame, sampling strategies, and the actual data collection process such as when, where, what, how, to whom, how long, as well as how many in terms of population and sample size)
4. Possible non-sampling biases arisen from your design and data collection process.
5. Univariate descriptive statistics on at least six variables
6. Bivariate descriptive statistics and analysis (at least 5 bivariate tests)
7. Conclusions
8. References if applicable (source of data sampled; research articles, books, magazines, web sites, etc.)
9. If a survey has been conducted, the questionnaire should also be presented

CAUTION: Projects like this always take a lot more time than you think they will - putting together the poster will take many hours. So please do not wait until the last minute to start working on your project.No late submission will be accepted!
