Course Project Submission Part A

This discussion will be the beginning phase for your course project (Part A). Each week you will be doing parts of your project that will lead up to a final submission of all your parts into a final paper. Each submission will be graded. In this discussion you will take the first steps towards applying Statistics to real-life situations. Consider subjects you are interested in, hobbies you partake. You can also think about topics that you are curious about.

Maybe you want to know...

• The mean starting salary for a graduate in your field?
• The mean number of games won by your favorite sports team each year?
• The mean number of games lost by your favorite sports team's rival each year?
• The mean number of accidents reported at an intersection?
• The mean price of a brand of soda in 2-Liter bottles?

Or maybe you are curious about how two different items compare.

Maybe you want to know...

• Are the mean starting salaries for graduates in two fields the same?
• Does your favorite sports team win more games than their rivals each year?
• Which of two intersections has more accidents reported?
• Do two brands of soda have different costs?

For this discussion, you will need to state the following:

• State the topic that you would like to choose.
• How are you going to gather the data for this project?
• Provide the resource to where you obtained your data?
