Learning Team Hypothesis Testing Paper Preparation |
Begin working on the Learning Team Project, due in Week Five. Select a research issue, problem, or opportunity facing a Learning Team member’s organization that could benefit from hypothesis testing. Write a 1,050- to 1,750-word paper describing a hypothesis test to perform on that data using a one or two-sample z test or a one or two sample t test. You may use one- or two-tailed tests. You may use Microsoft® Excel® to perform your hypothesis test. · Formulate a hypothesis statement and perform the five-step hypothesis testing procedure on the data identified above. · Describe the results of the tests. · Interpret the results of your hypothesis test, state any limitations of the analysis, and describe the significance of the results to the organization. Be sure to attach the results of the hypothesis test output created in Microsoft® Excel® to your paper. Prepare a 10- to 12-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation that could be used to persuade an audience to a particular course of action around your chosen issue, problem, or opportunity, based on results of your hypothesis test. Format your paper and presentation consistent with APA guidelines.
Deliver your presenation · For Local Campus students, these are 5-10 minute oral presentations accompanied by PowerPoint® presentations. · For Online and Directed Study students, these are PowerPoint® presentations with detailed speaker notes. |
