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?
