Next Stages in the Project: Data and Controversy

In chapter 5, we studied measures of central tendency and Normal Distributions. Depending on your topic, this may relate to your project. If you have done a survey or have collected data (even from online), then you will want to consider how to analyze your data:

• will you discuss mean, median, or mode?
• is your data Normally distributed?
• do you know that sample size and margin of error/confidence level for the data you found online?
• see pages 284-286 for more suggestions

Now that you have completed some research, you will want to scrutinize your data for any controversial issues. 

• have you found two sources that provide contradictory information or data?
• does the contradictory data represent different viewpoints? (eg. is the data being provided by a group that would want a certain outcome?)
• see pages 352-353 for more ideas

Everyone needs to follow this link and complete the short survey regarding your controversial issue(s).
