Question
I need some help on 1-3 (This can be random numbers as an example) to start off this project. I can't think of an easy claim to do this project on.
1) Obtain information about a real product claim. You cannot make up the claim. population that relates to your claim and list where the claim can be found Define the 2) Collect approximately twenty or more data values from your population. 3) Explain how you collected your sample data. If you could not get a random sample, explain how you could have collected a random sample from your population. Most students will be unable to collect a random sample 4) Compute the descriptive statistics listed in your calculator under CALC, and then 1-Var Stats 5) Create a 95% confidence interval about your mean or proportion using your calculator 6) Perforn a hypothesis test showing your conclusion (reject or accept Ho). Use a.05 level of significance and list all the hypothesis testing numbers (test statistic, p-value, ect.) 7) Summarize your results (approximately one page). Your write-up should include comments on the following Introduction Results Claim reason for study population product contact informaion supporting information Data collection Measurement descriptive statistics inferential statistics confidence interval hypothesis test Variables Conclusions level of measurement qualitative or quantitative discrete or continuous Measurement/errors summary of data analysis mplications recommendationsExplanation / Answer
Answer to question# 1)
Take the product : Oats
Claim: Oats help in weight loss
Population: All the adults in your region, basically you are free to define the population based on the age group you are looking for . May be we can target females in the age group 20 to 30 , because they are more focussed on weight reduction.
.
Answer to question# 2)
This would be an experimental research , so basically you need to let people volunteer in this research. Those who are interested , take their starting weight. Then let them be on the OATS diet for say 10 days. And then record their weight again
.
Answer to question# 3)
It is simple to collect a random sample. You can prefer targeting some females who work in office and are in the gae group 2 to 3. target 4 to 5 offices. And share your research plan , put it on the notice board, and let females become a part of the sample voluntarily. In this manner you may end up getting more that 20 females as well :)
The first step would be to confirm they do not intake oats already. If this is the case, they can continue to be a part of the sample . You record their Initial weight , and then prescribe a particular dietary plan of oats to them for 10 days. In the end note their wieght again
Now we can run a T test - paired data for the claim that mean weight before that dietary plan was more than the mean weight after the dietary plan
