- Test of hypothesis about a single population mean
- Test of hypothesis comparing two population means
- Test of hypothesis comparing more than two population means - Analysis of Variance
- Test of Independence
- Goodness of Fit test
- Test of hypothesis comparing more than two population proportions
- Test of hypothesis about one population proportion - not covered as part of the content of this course - consult with your instructor to determine if this analysis method is appropriate for the type of data that has been collected for your research project
- Test of hypothesis about two population proportions - consult with your instructor to determine if this analysis method is appropriate for the type of data that has been collected for your research project
- Simple regression and correlation analysis - include this type of analysis as appropriate based on type of data collected and specific objectives of the research project
- Multiple regression and correlation analysis - include this type of analysis as appropriate based on type of data collected and specific objectives of the research project
- Conclusions - 20 points
- The report must be written in APA format
- References cited are based on APA format
- Research project grading considerations
- Submit all parts of the assignment including the approved research project problem statement, research project progress report, and research project final report on time for full credit and be aware of the late submission implications as described in the "Essential Communication Resources and Course Research Project" section of the course
- The grade for the research project problem statement will depend on timely submission of the approved problem statement, refinement of the problem statement based on the research project progress report, and as importantly the complete description of the "Problem Statement" of the final research project report.
- The grade for the research project progress report will depend on timely submission of the progress report and the complete description of the "Background information" section of the report.
