Correlation Project
As a researcher, you will be considering the relationships between variables regularly. Linear correlation is the most basic relationship that may exist between two variables. This assignment will you give the opportunity to see how statistics can start to answer the research questions you will be faced with in your field of study.
Correlation Project Directions:
Consider a possible linear relationship between two variables that you would like to explore.
1. Define the relationship of interest and a data collection technique.
2. Determine the appropriate sample size and collect the data.
3. Perform the appropriate analysis to determine if there is a statistically significant linear relationship between the two variables. Describe the relationship in terms of strength and direction.
4. Construct a model of the relationship and evaluate the validity of that model.
Show all work to receive full credit. Provide complete sentence explanations for each of the above.
Submit a word document with the answers as well as all relevant software files. This includes the data file, output file, and script files.
Research Project Presentation
Directions: Create a PowerPoint with presenter's notes describing your research project. A minimum of 10 slides is required, including a title and References slide. The presentation should address the following:
1. Describe the techniques and procedures that will be used.
2. State the hypothesis.
3. State general equipment that will be necessary and their intended use.
4. Describe type of data that will be collected and measurements that will be made.
5. Define and describe experimental units and be specific.
6. Define the population for generalization.
7. Define sampling technique and randomization, and include rationale.
