Mini Research Proposal
This written assignment is based on the work conducted in the Z, T,  or Chi-Square Test Study discussion forum from last week. Based on this  initial work, feedback received, and additional research, you should  submit a mini research proposal that calls for the use of a z test, t  test, or Chi-Square test.
Please include the following in the research proposal:

Introduction (1-2 paragraphs)

Present the research question of interest.
Explain how the chosen statistical test applies to this research question.
Provide the statistical notation and written explanations for the null and alternative hypotheses.
Explain the types of errors that can occur.

Methods

Participants (1 paragraph)

List how many participants will be selected.
Identify who will be the participants and their major demographic characteristics (e.g., sex, age, etc.).
Explain how participants will be selected for the study.

Procedures (1-2 paragraphs)

Identify the variables in the study.
Describe each variables scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal,  interval, or ratio) and characteristics (i.e., discrete vs. continuous,  qualitative vs. categorical, etc.).
Provide an operational definition for each variable, explaining how the variables will be measured.

Results (1-2 paragraphs)

Describe the statistical test that will be conducted. Be sure to  include why the test was chosen and why it is appropriate for this  study.
Identify the information that will be obtained from the results of  this test and what will be needed to draw conclusions regarding the  hypotheses.

Discussion (1 paragraph)

Identify any expected biases, assumptions, or faults with the proposed study and the use of the identified statistical test.
Explain what conclusions can and cannot be made for this study, and using this statistical test.
Describe the practical significance or importance of the results.

The paper should be APA formatted as a research proposal, and  approximately 1000 to 1350 words of content. Include a title page, and a  reference page that includes any resources utilized. Students should  submit their paper by Day 7.
