PART B

This week, you will submit Part B of your course project.

Part B should include the following:

·Sampling: A description of how you or your source obtained the samples. Include sample sizes, population of interest, and description of sample. This includes a copy of the survey if you used one.

·Data: The actual data and a summary of the counts.

·Descriptive Statistics for your data:

oMean

oMode

oMedian

oStandard deviation of your data (2 sets if you are doing 2 means)

oAt least two graphs (such as box plots, scatter plots, stem-and-leaf, histograms, etc.)

·Your working references

Use APA to create your References page. Additionally, if you choose to create a survey, submit your list of questions.

Refer toExample Bfor the guidance while completing Part B.

Course Project Part B Grading Criteria

·-1.25

·2.12

·-3.5

Determine the probability of each of these data values occurring in your sample. Interpret the results from your calculations.
