How the researchers test their hypotheses
After selecting a research study from the provided list, create a report in which you evaluate the extent to which it reflects the aspects of a well-designed study.
Be sure to consult the Final Project Extra Help document to assist you in developing your report. Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below.
I. Introduction
a) Identify the specific focus of the research. In other words, what was this study about? What was the purpose of the study? [MAT-133-01]
b) Describe the specific characteristics of the population being studied. For example, what was the sample size? What were its demographics?
[MAT-133-01]
c) Evaluate the research question(s) of your chosen study. Did the researchers suggest hypotheses for their research questions? To what extent
are these questions significant, and why? [MAT-133-01]
II. Analysis
a) Analyze the research methods of the study. In other words, how did the researchers test their hypotheses related to the research questions?
What, if any, assumptions did the researchers make in order to conduct their research? [MAT-133-01]
b) Examine the outcomes of those tests. What were the major findings (i.e., did they reject or fail to reject the hypotheses and why)? Were the
findings statistically significant (i.e., what was the p-value)? [MAT-133-01]
