Final Paper for Statistics class



STA-201: PRINCIPLES OF STATISTICS Final Project OVERVIEW For your final project, you will analyze the set of data provided in the Student Data Table in Week 1. Develop two research questions from the data we collected that would require two different tests (parametric or nonparametric) covered in this class. Identify the variables needed to answer these questions, develop hypotheses, test for relationship, and use the statistics to answer the questions and hypotheses. You should: 1. NOT ask the same questions found in the written assignments. 2. NOT use the same variables in both questions/tests 3. INCLUDE one question/test that incorporates one categorical variable and one continuous variable 4. INCLUDE one question/test that incorporates either two categorical or two continuous variables Note: You may convert/regroup a continuous variable into a categorical variable. Course objectives covered in this project include CO 1, CO 2, CO 3, CO 5, CO 6, CO 7 INSTRUCTIONS To complete the final project, follow these steps: 1. Devise two research questions based on the variables in the class dataset. 2. Identify the variables to be utilized. One should be categorical (which may be created from a continuous variable, i.e., variable months enrolled at TESU; Categories: less than one year and one or more years) and two should be continuous variables. 3. Use descriptive statistics to describe the variables both numerically and graphically. 4. Devise hypotheses for both research questions. 5. Identify the appropriate statistical tests using alpha=0.05. 6. Perform the statistical tests. 7. Write up the results. Variables in the class dataset: · TESU school in which you are enrolled · Arts and Sciences · Applied Science and Technology · Business and Management · Nursing · Public Service · Months enrolled at TESU · Number from 0 to 48 (if over 48, enter 49) · Birthday month · Average distance to your place of work (in whole miles) · Height (in whole inches) · Foot size (in whole inches) · Hand size (measured from base of palm to longest finger; in whole inches) · Typical amount of sleep per night (in minutes) · Typical amount of time doing homework per day for classes at TESU (in minutes) Your paper should be a minimum of 5 pages (1250 words). A grading rubric can be found in the Evaluation Rubrics folder in Moodle.

Introduction: Here in this assignment we will device two questions based on the data collected and use the statistical test or techniques to analyze those. First, we will device a
research question for two quantitative or continuous variables and then after in the second question by using a categorical and continuous variable and then will be analyzed.
The data set has total 9 variables. The description about the variables in the data set is given as follows:
1. TESU school in which you are enrolled. The school types are given as follows
Arts and Sciences    
Applied Science and Technology
Business and Management
Nursing
Public Service
2. Months enrolled at TESU
Number from 0 to 48 (if over 48, enter 49)
3. Birthday month
4. Average distance to your place of work (in whole miles)
5. Height (in whole inches)
6. Foot size (in whole inches)
7. Hand size (measured from base of palm to longest finger; in whole inches)
8. Typical amount of sleep per night (in minutes)
9. Typical amount of time doing homework per day for classes at TESU (in minutes)
The first question is given as follows:
Research question 1: We have given the data set for the student’s class of a particular school. In the data many kinds of variables are there. Our research question will use the concept of correlation analysis. Here, we will pick two variables the height (in inches) and the foot size (in inches) of the students. We will check that is there any significant relationship or we can say correlation between both the variables. For this we will do correlation analysis test with the help of t-test.
The data for two variables those will be used for the first research question are given as follows:
    Height (whole inches)
    Foot Size (whole inches)
    60

First of all, we will see visualize the relationship between both the variables. We will use the scatter plot to visualize the relationship between both the variables. Because scatter plot is best plot used to visualize the association between two quantitative variables. The scatter plot is given as follows:
Here, from the above plot we can visually see that there is a positive linear relationship between both the variables. As the value for the foot size is increases, the height...
