Overview

The final project for this course is the creation of a research paper. You will select a specific problem you see in the workplace (or, if you have limited work experience, that you would find it valuable to solve in your home life), and then identify what you wish to study. You must apply the theories and concepts from the course to interpret and formulate your hypotheses. Be sure to identify why the answer/solution matters. Once you have your hypotheses, go through the scientific method and statistical process to sample and answer the question. Be sure that you justify the statistical test that you use and either reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis based on the data. Your conclusion should be entirely data driven, with the implications clear. In this milestone, you will gather, introduce, and present your raw data.

Prompt

In a well-organized Excel spreadsheet, you will present the raw data collected for your research paper. Along with the spreadsheet, you will include a one-page introduction that details what is being presented. The feedback provided by the instructor should be applied to your final research paper.

Format: The written introduction should follow these formatting guidelines: one-page Word format, double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, and citations in APA format (if warranted). Data should be presented in an Excel spreadsheet, 12-point Times New Roman font.
