Project Task

Choose one topic from the list of topics below. You have to respect the working guidelines given below and the submission date.

List of topics

Each project must include: Description of the method, purpose of the method, statistical tools used, and a real-world application.

Topic 1: Interval estimation of a population proportion with population mean.

A method for developing interval estimates of a population proportion. The use of an interval estimate provides a measure of the precision of an estimate. In practice, the sample sizes used for interval estimates of a population proportion are generally large.

Topic 2: Testing the Significance of the Slope and y-Intercept

A simple linear regression model is not likely to be useful unless there is a significant relationship between x and y. In order to judge the significance of the relationship between x and y, we test the null hypothesis: Ho: [h = 0 versus the alternative hypothesis: Ha' 1 / 0.

Topic 3: Analysis of Variance: The F test

A technique whereby the total variation present in a set of data is partitioned into two or more components. Associated with each of these components is a specific source of variation so that in the analysis it is possible to ascertain the magnitude of the contributions of each of these sources to the total variation.
