What Is It, And How Do You Know If You Are Normal?

normal distribution is not a naturally occurring phenomenon, but the assumption of normality is a basic premise for many statistical analyses. If your data is not normal, or approximately normal, certain statistical tests cannot be performed because the results obtained may not be valid. Researchers often go to great lengths to perform tests on their data to determine if their data approximates a normal distribution within certain parameters and reasonable limits. 

So, what is normality and how would you define normality? 

  1. First, do some research on your own and look up three different reputable sources that define normality from a statistical perspective and combine those definitions into one, reasonable, comprehensive definition of normality. You can use your textbook as one source, so you will need to find two additional sources that define normality from a statistical perspective. 
  2. Second, justify your definition by using the sources of information you’ve identified to support your definition of normality. Why is your definition better and more comprehensive than what is currently used in many textbooks?
  3. Finally, find an aviation-related research article that uses the assumption of normality, describe and summarize that study and the analyses used, and explain why the analyses may not be valid if the distribution was not assumed to be normal.

Take a virtual trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City! As you have already seen through the online articles, The Met has an extensive online catalog of its collections. For this week’s assignment, your job is to navigate their site and search for a piece of art in their online collection representing one of the artists or “-isms” represented in Unit 7.

Include in your essay your process in navigating the website, and what you thought of it.  Pretend you are on this virtual tour with a friend, and you are talking about a piece of art you have discovered based on what you have learned in this course.  

 

Requirements: 

 

 Read the assignment instructions and rubric carefully before beginning.  Use full sentences and appropriate academic language in all work.  Follow standard APA guidelines (proper margins, double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman, and cover page).  Use APA citation format and include a reference/work cited page when necessary.  Your essay should be approximately 2-3 pages in length.  You are required to submit an image of the art piece you selected.

Marketing Research Project

DescriptionYou will choose a business problem that you will conduct market research to solve. Make sure your problem is clear and detailed. Develop 2-3 research questions that flow directly from the marketing research problem.
2. Determine the type of data needed to solve the problem you identified in step 1 and the research tools to collect the necessary data. You will need to collect three types of data:
a. Exploratory (Most likely qualitative)
b. Secondary (Search secondary data sources for relevant background information)
c. Primary (Most likely a questionnaire)
3. Create questions for a survey or interview. Around 10 is a good number. If it is a survey please format it as if you were going to hand it out.
5. Design proper tools and procedures to collect data.
8. Write report answering all the questions above.

Report Format
