Writing Assignment II MATH 155
R.M. Tardiff
The assignment: Many arguments in various academic disciplines are based on analysis of statistical studies. Find an article in an area of interest to you which uses formal statistical inference; e.g. confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, p-values, etc.
Write a 500 word essay that addresses the appropriateness and effectiveness of the formal statistical inference. You should consider what conditions need to present in order for the inference to be germane (e.g. random sample, constant variance, the population being sampled versus the population about which the inference is made, etc.)
Purpose: To come to a conclusion about the effectiveness of a formal statistical argument in the context of the article you have selected.
Audience: Your student peers
Length & Format: ONE page, typed, double spaced (about 500 words). Of course, any works that you use must be referenced. The lead paragraph should be engaging and invite further reading by your peers.
Evaluation: I will be looking to see to see how well you have identified the critical issues in the formal statistical inference and how well you use this information to come to your conclusion on the effectiveness of the argument.
Timeline:
1. Within one week from today you will have submitted your article for review to me for approval. I will approve only articles that make use of formal statistical inference.
2. Two weeks from today you will have a lead paragraph ready for discussion in class. We will break up into groups in class where your peers can give you some feedback on the effectiveness of your paragraph.
3. Three weeks from today your final paper is due to me.
