Football vs Basketball Players Height

/in /by

This project is worth the equivalent of one test grade (~13% of your grade). You will be analyzing a dataset using what we’ve learned in class and writing a business memo describing your process and results. The final product should be around 5-7 pages (including your visualizations and tables) and no more than 10 pages!!

Contents of your paper

  • Abstract: ~150 words summary of your paper
    • Body
      • Introduction: 1 paragraph. Clearly indicate which dataset you were assigned and do some research about it. What are some important things your findings could tell us?
      • Data Analysis: Two sub-sections. For each of your two groups, include descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, 5 number summary, range), a frequency table, stem and leaf plot, histogram, and a boxplot. Explain the importance of having at least 30 observations in each group and state the percentage of observations lying within 1,2, and 3 standard deviations of the mean. What are your conclusions (interpret your results)? Repeat for your second group.
        • Format tables to 2 decimal places, except for your p-values (3 decimal places). Ensure your tables match throughout the document.
      • Inferential Statistics:
        • What are your 95% confidence intervals? State in LOP and include a table with your sample mean, standard error (standard deviation of your sample), DF, lower, and upper limits
        • Come up with a hypothesis and run a two-sample hypothesis test, following each of the steps. State your null and alternative hypotheses, calculate the t-test using the formula (show your “work”), and then plug into Excel to get the full results (difference mean, standard error, DF, T-statistic, and P-value)
      • Conclusions: What was your goal? What did you do? Is there a difference between your groups? Was your hypothesis correct?
  • Sources: Include all sources of information.
