Mathematics Homework Help

The most important part of statistics is accurately and effectively
communicating the results of a study. For this lab, you will be
conducting a statistical study of your choosing and reporting out your
results.

Lab Procedure:

• Think of a topic or question that you’re interested in exploring further that can be studied through data.
  • It is recommended, but not required, that you pick a topic in your field of study.
• Find a source for your data (or use one of the suggested data source sites listed below).
  • The data must be quantitative and ratio-level (See Chapter 1).
  • You will need between 30 – 60 data values.
  • You will need to provide a direct link to the source of the data.
• Using Excel, perform the following statistical analyses:
  • Calculate the relevant and necessary descriptive statistics (See Chapter 2)
  • Use Excel to generate a frequency histogram (See Chapter 2)
    • It should be accurate, with the proper number of classes
    • All axes should be properly labeled
    • See textbook and Canvas resources for examples of properly formatted histograms
• Write a report that is suitable to be published in a student newspaper or online news site.
  • The report should be 2 – 4 paragraphs in length
    
    

The audience for your article should be the general public. This is an exercise in creating authentic and professional work,

• • Not just outlining steps you did for an assignment. Write this as it
    was assigned to you by a supervisor at a new job, not an instructor in a
    stat class.
  • As shown in the sample report, yours should include an
    introduction/background, statistical analysis (both in words and with
    graphics), and a conclusion based on the analysis.
  • Your written report should include both a frequency distribution
    table and the frequency histogram that you created using your data in
    Excel. (See sample report)
    • These figures should be titled, formatted, and appropriately sized (see sample report)
• To submit, you will upload two files
  • The Excel file needs to be uploaded as an actual Excel file (.xls or .xlsx, NOT a PDF)
  • The written report should be submitted as a .PDF file.
