Research Question
Data Tables
Graphs
Analysis
Things to consider:
☐Did you include statistical analysis include the null and alternative hypothesis?
☐Did you related your statistical analysis to your data?
☐ Is there a paragraph that interprets the processed data so that a detailed conclusion can be deduced?
☐Does your interpretation (which is the process of making sense of the data so that you can make a conclusion) include a description of your data, standard deviation and stats in your interpretation? And it should include some of the following:
☐a description of trends
☐comparisons
☐correlations
☐plateau
☐the correct interpretation of the results of statistical calculations.
☐ Description of data as linearly proportional, inversely proportional, exponentially proportional, etc. If appropriate
☐ Does your interpretation set up your reader for the conclusion.
