Phase 3

/in /by

Using the same data set and variables for your selected topic that you used for phases 1 and 2, add the following information to your analysis:

        Discuss the process for hypothesis testing.
            Explain the 8 steps of hypothesis testing
            When performing the 8 steps for hypothesis testing, which method do you prefer; P-Value method or Critical Value method? Why?
    Perform the hypothesis test.

If you selected Option 1 (Salaries):

Claim: The average salary for all jobs in Georgia is less than $65,000. Test the claim using = 0.05 and assume your data is normally distributed and is unknown.

Based on your selected topic, perform and document the following steps:

        Write the null and alternative hypothesis symbolically and identify which hypothesis is the claim.
        Is the test two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed? Explain.
        Which test statistic will you use for your hypothesis test; z-test or t-test? Explain.
        What is the value of the test-statistic? Show your calculation
        What is the P-value? Explain how you determined it
        What is the critical value? Explain how you calculated it
        What is your decision? Reject the null or do not reject the null? Explain why you made your decision including the results for your p-value and the critical value.
        State the final conclusion in non-technical terms.

Please show your work for the construction of the test-statistic and explain your process for finding the        p-value and critical value. You may use the Equation Editor to format your calculation steps on the Word document or attach an Excel spreadsheet clearly showing each calculation for #B4 and #B5, but your answers still need to appear on the Word document. Also, be sure to number each response in your paper using the same numbers as above

Censorship In Television

/in /by

Write a 1500 to 1600 ( 1500 word minimum) word persuasive research paper (about six pages) on one of the following topics listed below. Your research must include citations from three peer-reviewed journals. These journals are available in hard copy or the internet. Other than the journals, sources can come from wherever you choose: books, internet, newspapers, film. Also, when establishing narrative viewpoint, use third-person. No first person allowed. Please follow MLA guidelines, including a properly formatted Works Cited page.

This paper is due on Tuesday, March 19th, both a hard-copy and an electronic submission to Turnitin. Remember, Turnitin expires at the start of classnot midnight.

Note: It is important that students carefully read the research and then assimilate that information into the research paper. It is not uncommon for students to list several sources on their Cited Page, but none of these sources appear in their research essay. This will earn students a very low grade.

Research the relationship between television and censorship over the past sixty years. Your thesis may want to consider the following questions: Was censorship more vigorous sixty years ago than today? If so, what cultural factors influenced that censorship? How have those cultural factors changed over six decades?
