TEAM 1 Ø JILL PINKNEY Ø KEELEY MORRICAL Ø MICHELLE JOHANSON Ø MICHELLE RIDDLE

RESEARCH QUESTION Ø Does the number of credit hours taken have a direct correlation with the number of hours worked per week? Ø To elaborate, a person working more hours in a week will take less credit hours, and a person taking more credit hours will work less hours in a week

STUDY DESIGN SURVEY – (DATA COLLECTION) ØPerformed sample ØSurveyed a simple random 50 college students

Questions to students for 1040 Term Project Please tell us the number of credit hours that you are taking Please tell us the number of hours that you work each week ANSWER

ANALYSIS

Correlation Coefficient Ø Ø Ø Our correlation coefficient is 0. 90136048 We determined that there is not a strong correlation between the number of credit hours taken and the number of hours worked Our suspicion: students taking more credit hours would work less and vice versa

DIFFICULTIES / SURPRISES

DIFFICULTIES Ø Finding surveys students to answer Ø Drawing the boxplot & histogram Ultimately, we figured it out!

SURPRISES Ø Average hours worked was 31. 52 Ø Average credit hours was 9. 3 Ø Outlier of 75 hours of work per week and 21 credit hours of school

INTERPRETATION & CONCLUSIONS

INTERPRETATION & CONCLUSIONS Ø It appears that the hours worked per week are irrelevant to credit hours taken.
