We are bombarded by statistical information from a wide variety of sources. Much of the statistical research performed in the world is conducted with a great deal of integrity, validity, and reliability. However, there are many statistical studies that are conducted that are\u2014whether intentionally or unintentionally\u2014plagued by bias.<\/p>\n

As a member of society, and as a consumer, it is prudent to develop the skills necessary to critically examine reported statistical claims. Determining whether the report contains bias is a great way to determine the reliability of study results and make a better informed decision.<\/p>\n

In this assignment, you will apply the guidelines found in the textbook Unit 5B \u201cShould You Believe a Statistical Study?\u201d<\/em> in order to critically analyze the content, design, and reported results of a statistical study.<\/p>\n

Conduct an Internet search to find a study whose statistical results have been published in the news or any other public forum. Applying the following guidelines, critically analyze the study\u2019s reported content and results.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Identify the goal, population, and type of study.<\/li>\n
  2. Who conducted the study? Is there bias here?<\/li>\n
  3. Is there bias in the sample used in the study?<\/li>\n
  4. Are there any problems in defining or measuring the variables of interest in the study?<\/li>\n
  5. Are there any confounding variables present in the study?<\/li>\n
  6. Are the results presented fairly?<\/li>\n
  7. Is the study\u2019s conclusion reasonable? Does it make sense?<\/li>\n
