This project will test your ability to create, develop, collect data, summarize data, and analyze a problem. You will be comparing two sets of data. You want to know if the two samples of data you are investigating are very similar or very different. Use continuous data for this project.
Step 1What is your claim? What do you plan to investigate? Explain the data you plan to explore. Write your null and alternative hypothesis.
Step 2Determine what the variable of interest will be. You should collect data on one variable only but for two samples.
Step 3Determine what measurement you should collect. Use continuous data only.
Step 4Collect your data. You should collect between 12 to 24 observations for each sample. You should collect two samples to compare to each other.
Step 5Use the box and whisker plots to show a summary of your data. Use the template I provided in your notes. See Part 1 notes.
