Rough Draft assignment:

For this assignment, take a moment to review the Final Paper instructions and requirements in Week 6. You will see that the Final Paper is a discussion about the use of several statistical techniques used in research studies. While it shares similarities to papers in other classes, you will find that its focus is different. For example, like most assignments, your Final Paper will leverage research studies. However, instead of your analysis focusing on the content of the research study, you will be asked to focus on the statistical tools used in the study and examine how those tools contributed toward the findings in the study. (In other words, the topic of the study itself is irrelevant.)

For this Draft Final Paper of two to three double spaced pages, you will locate three studies, based on the three techniques listed in the Final Paper instructions. Then, address the following items for each of the three research studies you selected:

State the research question being asked.
State which of the three statistical tools the study represents.
Note: There is no need to discuss how the tool is used in the study, as some of the techniques have not yet been covered. No conclusion is needed for this introductory paper.

Week 6 – Final Paper
Final paper overview

Over the past few weeks, you have explored a variety of statistical techniques that each play an important role in conducting research. For this Final Paper, you will evaluate the application, interpretations, and presentation of statistics in formal and informal research studies.

Begin by locating three research studies to analyze for your Final Paper, based on the three statistical techniques below:

At least one study should display data through graphs, tables, and/or charts.
At least one study should describe the hypothesis testing procedure that was used (either explicitly /specifically, or implicitly/generally).
At least one study should use inferential statistical analysis tests or correlation/regression approaches.
Once you have selected your three research studies, develop a paper using the format below as a guide.

Final Paper Structure

Opening: State which three specific statistical procedures you will be evaluating.
Thesis: Describe how these statistical procedures been used to answer research questions.
Literature Review: For each study presented, state the research question being asked.
Explain how the illustrated statistical procedure helped to answer each research question.
Statistical Discussion: Analyze the value, strengths, and weaknesses of each statistical technique in answering formal and informal research questions.
Conclusion: Summarize the general use of statistical tools in quantitative research studies.
