Briefly describe the context (What about your literature review led you to ask this question?).

EXPLANATION: This part of the project is more closely related to your traditional research paper. Just not as long. It will serve as the “Background” or “Introduction” to your overall project. Review literature about your chosen topic. Use Google Scholar, Lynn Library resources, business websites, or peer reviewed sources to explore information about your topic. What have other researchers studied about this topic? What have they concluded about this topic? What still needs to be explored? This section needs to be 3-5 pages and include at least 2 scholarly articles. Formulate hypotheses based on your research. Develop null and research hypotheses that you plan to test with your T-Test This paper should have 3 sections: BACKGROUND. This section details the research that you have performed about your topic. This is called a “Literature Review” – your review of the literature you have found about your topic. Use Google Scholar, Lynn Library resources, business websites, or peer reviewed sources to explore information about your topic. Give a basic description of the topic and things that the reader should know about the topic to introduce it. What have other researchers studied about this topic? What have they concluded about this topic? What still needs to be explored? How does this lead to the question you want to answer? Use as much detail as possible to show that you understood the issue completely. Write at least 3-5 pages double spaced. This section MUST be in APA format. Use citations for any information retrieved from outside sources. RESEARCH QUESTION. In this section, discuss what you aim to achieve through this report. Briefly describe the context (What about your literature review led you to ask this question?). Describe the issue or problem to be explored or answered. State the specific research question your report will answer. E.g. “How do _____ and _____ differ in their levels of _____?” What is the scope of the report? (How much can this question answer based on the data you have collected? Can it be generalized to a larger population?) What are the assumptions of your analysis? (That the data are normally distributed? That the sample is representative of the population? That people are being honest with their responses? That this is a random sample?) HYPOTHESES. State your null and research hypotheses.
