math unit 2 discussion 1
Statistical Analysis Topics
In the previous unit, you submitted the topic for your course project. The next step is to consider and describe ways to administer a survey that will gather data related to your course project. For this discussion, answer the following questions:
- What type of sampling methods would you use?
- In developing your survey, you will create six questions. What are some of the specific questions that your survey should contain?
- What difficulties do you anticipate in designing a study around the topics offered?
Use the “Eight Guidelines for Critically Evaluating a Statistical Study” presented on page 30 of Chapter 1 in your text to predict issues that might arise. This information will also be discussed in Unit 3, where you are given some specific guidelines for these questions.
Before posting, review the Discussion Participation Scoring Guide to make sure you have met the expectations of this discussion.
Your instructor may post Alternate Discussion Questions as an additional way to help you fulfill the discussion requirements. Learners are not required to answer these questions. Alternate Discussion Questions are simply alternate posts you may respond to in order to meet the discussion requirements. If posted, please read your instructor’s posts for questions.
