1 : Mathematics of Data Management The is a research assignment on statistics in which students will collect data, analyze the data and present a report on their findings. This is a very large project, and students must work on it for several months. While some class time will be allotted for the project throughout the semester, students will be spending the vast majority of their time working on it outside of class time. Components of the Project Collection of data on a topic of your choice Analysis of the data and related research Final Report Presentation of results Your Presentation should consist of the following components: o Introduction to topic and explanation of the issues and relevant research o Presentation of the data o Your analysis of the data combined with related findings from other research o Conclusion, limitations of your conclusion and avenues of further study Evaluation All categories will be evaluated during this project. There are three components to the evaluation: Research, Final Report and Presentation. Topic Students may choose their own topics, but they should be intrinsically interesting. No two students may have the same topic. The teacher has the right to turn down a student s choice of topic. Deadlines Throughout the semester, students will meet with the teacher to update him/her on the progress of the research. Progress Reports will be evaluated and will contribute to one s final Culminating Project mark. To Be Handed In Due Date Submit a topic Thursday, March 24 Progress Update #: Project Proposal Friday, April Progress Update #2: Presentation of Data Thursday, April 4 Progress Update #3: Data Analysis Tuesday, May 3 Progress Update #4: Presentation Plan Wednesday, May 25 Final Presentation May 30-June 3 **Note: Presentation schedule will be determined closer to the due date Final Report of Investigation Wednesday, June 8
2 Process ) Determine your topic First, develop a question or series of questions choose a topic that interests you and that you feel you will be able to collect data on. Once you choose your question or series of questions, you should come up with a hypothesis for what you think the answer to each question will be. Make sure you back up your hypothesis with reasoning relevant to the social context of your particular question 2) Progress Update #: Project Proposal (5% of mark) Clearly state your thesis question. If it helps, use the format: Is there a relationship between. Clearly state your hypothesis (i.e. what you predict the answer to your question will be) Cite the sources you have already found for your project. Your sources may be online or in printed form. You should include sources where you have found raw data for your project (i.e. Statistics Canada, Nationmaster, etc.) AND sources for related research (i.e. studies performed by someone else that relate to your research question/hypothesis). Use a recognized format to cite sources properly (i.e. APA, MLA, etc. Easybib.com is a helpful website to cite sources properly). Useful Internet Data Resources Websites that contain data on various attributes of the Canadian population: E-Stat Statistics Canada Websites that compare various attribute measurements between countries. NationMaster.com Central Intelligence Agency The World Factbook Sample Projects: 3) Progress Update #2: Presentation of Data (5% of mark) Collect data from a valid secondary source (i.e. educational books, magazines, or websites such as Statistics Canada). Primary data (i.e collected through your own, unbiased survey) may be included if you choose, but only to supplement your secondary sources. Aim for pieces of raw data (discuss with your teacher based on what your study is on) All of the data should be raw (i.e. just numbers). This means no charts, graphs, summary statistics or conclusions from another source. Organize your data using meaningful tables. 2
3 4) Progress Update #3: Data Analysis (5% of mark) Organize your data using a variety of graphs. Graphs and tables should be formatted so that they are easy to read and understand (i.e. label the axes, title the graph, remove any unnecessary legends, etc.) Look for trends in your data and confirm these trends using statistics. Your analysis should include one-variable statistics (studied in Chapter 2) AND two-variable statistics (studied in Chapter 3). (Include standard deviation, variance, line of best fit (linear regression), correlation coefficient or coefficient of determination, etc,) You should do your calculations using technology (i.e. Excel), so there is no need to show all of your calculation steps. You should, however, ensure that you are applying the correct kind of statistical analysis to your data (linear or exponential, etc.). 5) Progress Update #4: Summary of Findings and Presentation Plan (0% of mark) Study the results from your analysis and develop a conclusion with a logical argument. Your conclusion should be based on the statistics you calculated. Develop a written outline for your presentation. You should include a description of each graph you intend to show and what you will say about it, and a breakdown of which group member will discuss each topic. 6) Final Presentation (25% of mark) Create a Powerpoint presentation summarizing your research and findings. The presentation should outline your research question, data, statistical analysis and conclusions. Your presentation is expected to be 0-5 minutes long. 7) Final Report (50% of mark) Write a final report taking into account all your research, analysis and any feedback based on your presentation. See FINAL REPORT section for more information. REMEMBER!! This is a STATISTICS project your focus at every point should be on the NUMBER, GRAPHS and YOUR CALCULATIONS!!! 3

Includes information from two secondary sources but the descriptions are very difficult to understand or have not been put into their own words (must be referenced still) Results are organized, but little logic in method of organization is evident. All of the criteria are included, but two or more could have been improved. Conclusions are without adequate support from the data or the explanations are not clear. Analytical look at the analysis and discussion demonstrated some thought but no supporting research. Student suggests future steps that are not logical to furthering the study or misses a very logical next step, and includes no discussion of possible improvement of research. Conclusions are stated and an explanation of how they were is included but was not logical or easy to read. References are not properly sourced and tables of data used for analysis are included but not properly referenced OR tables are missing Summarizes the research of two secondary sources related to the thesis but more clarity is required in summary Results are clearly organized but it would have been easier to analyze if it had been done differently All of the criteria are included, but one of the items should have been improved. Conclusions are drawn without clear explanation. Analytical look at the analysis and discussion demonstrated considerable though but no supporting research. Student suggests future steps that are logical to furthering the study but misses a logical next step, and includes little discussion of possible improvement of research. Conclusions are stated and an explanation of how they were is included. Some clarification was required though. References are not properly sourced OR tables of data used for analysis are included but not properly referenced Accurately summarizes the research of two secondary sources related to the thesis Results are clearly organized so that the data can be analyzed and conclusion. All of the criteria are properly presented. Explanation of why data did or did not support the hypothesis is clear. Analytical look at the analysis and discussion demonstrated considerable thought and refers to other research. Student suggests future steps that are logical to furthering the study, and includes clear discussion of possible improvement of research. Conclusions are clearly stated and an explanation of how they were is included. References are properly sourced and tables of data used for analysis are included and properly referenced Target population is excellently chosen and described. Description of the sampling methods clearly show that student attempted to eliminate as much of the bias as possible. Accurately summarizes the research of more than two secondary sources related to the thesis. Organization of the results is excellent. It is clear and easy to see how it related to questions being addressed. All of the criteria are done thoroughly and more than three very applicable graphs/diagrams are included. Explanation of how the data did or did not support the hypothesis is excellent Analytical look at the analysis and discussion demonstrated a high degree of thought and refers to other sources.
