One of the articles from the course materials (see the assignment prompt)? Is there an article in the list that you can select and review how the hypotheses were developed...the significance of the results based on the p-values...any other ideas related to sampling and the other concepts we have covered during the class? I would be very interested in your thoughts on the topic and hope you will take a little time to conduct some analysis on one of the articles.
