“A statistical study seeks to answer some question.” (Warren, Denley & Atchley, 2014, p. 19). Each student will select a unique question that they would like to answer. Each question will be answered by collecting, organizing and analyzing data using methods learned in this class. That question may pertain to personal interests or career. Projects may not have duplicate topics. Project topics will be approved in the order the instructor receives them in his or her WilmU instructor’s email account. The following list is meant to stimulate ideas. These topics may not be used by students.

Sample ideas:

1. Does the number of customers waiting in line depend on day? (Chi-square test. Chp 10)

2. Does a specific method of learning improve grades? (Hypothesis test for mean. Chp 10)

3. Does the wait time at one traffic light vary significantly from the standard wait time? (Hypothesis test for variation, Chp 10)

4. Does summer training reduce fall sports injuries? (Compare proportions between two sets of data. Chp 11)

5. Does the level of education earned affect money earned? (Regression analysis with r-value. Chp 12)
