Instructions for the Research Question Demos 1

You have 3 minutes to present – be ready to share your screen, practice first. We can only offer you one
opportunity to present so please make the most of it.

Research Questions are dependent on the variables and datatypes you have in your chosen dataset. Before
going ahead with defining your Research Question, your dataset DSXXXX must match your assigned Dataset,
I.e., did you check the dataset assignment list on Slack (Announcements)? Your group number must be
assigned to the dataset you are referencing here.

The next few slides give you three alternatives for how to define your research question and hypotheses. You
will select only one type of research question. Before presenting DELETE all the texts that are either
instructions or options you do not use (including this slide). You can then enlarge your selection.
We will send you instructions as to how to sign up. Sign up early. When the space runs out, we cannot issue
any further. DO NOT SIGN UP unless you can attend. All the group members should attend but select one
person to present.
We look forward to giving you feedback. You will not be graded on this presentation but if you do not
attend and you booked a space you are preventing someone else presenting and are going against our
module values. This will be reflected in your peer evaluation.

PRESENTATION TITLE (ADD VIA INSERT, HEADER & FOOTER) 3

Include a snippet of your dataset, to include


1. The columns/variables you are using in
your research question
2. At least 5 rows of the data
3. Tell us how many rows your dataset has.

7COM1079-2024 Student Group No: Names of Student Group Attendees:

Dataset ID: (replace this text with your DSXXX number and filename)
This dataset is interesting to us because (one sentence):

From the column headings in your dataset choose ONE independent * and ONE dependent variable .
Our Independent variable is: (the variable that remains constant /could cause an effect on dep var)
This Independent variable datatype is (select one): Nominal/categorial OR Ordinal OR
Interval/measurement data.
Our Dependent variable is: (your outcome variable that answers your RQ)
This Dependent variable datatype is (select one): Nominal/categorial OR Ordinal OR
Interval/measurement data

*For comparison of two nominal


variables and for comparison of
proportions you use two (or more)
independent variables (see next slide)
PRE 7COM1079-2024 Student Group No: ????? 3

Our Research Question is Choose ONE of the three templates below


replacing the blue text with your variables – then add hypotheses as shown in next slide:
Template 1: Interval/Ordinal vs Interval/Ordinal: “Is there a correlation between [dependent interval or
ordinal variable] and [independent interval or ordinal variable?]”.

Template2 :Interval/Ordinal vs Nominal. data “Is there a difference in the mean of [dependent interval
variable or dependent ordinal variable] between [independent nominal variable] and [independent
nominal variable?]”.

Template 3: Nominal vs Nominal data (frequencies): “Is there a difference in proportions of [dependent
nominal variable] between [independent nominal variable] and [independent nominal variable]?”
1
Correlation (Analysis of how ordinal/interval dependent var correlates to an ordinal/interval independent variable)
2
Comparison of means (or medians): Analysis of the difference between the mean (or median) value of a characteristic
shared by members of two different populations.
3
Comparison of proportions: Analysis of the difference in proportions of a characteristic shared by members of two
different populations.
Add your Hypotheses to the previous RQ Slide (both the Null and Alternative Hypotheses). 4

Here are definitions and examples. Your wording will come directly from your RQ. This is the
formal way of reporting the results of your inferential test statistics, in which we report the
effect the independent variable has on the dependent variable –
1. Null hypothesis (H0): There is no effect on the population – so you write one of the following:
Null hypothesis (H0): There is no difference in the mean/median of the [dependent variable]
between/among [subsets of the independent variable]. or
Null hypothesis (H0): There is no difference in the proportions(s)of [subset(s) of dependent variable]
between/among [subsets of independent variable]. or
Null hypothesis (H0): There is no correlation between [dependent variable] and [independent variable].
2. Alternative hypothesis (H1): There appears to be an effect on the population – so you copy what you
wrote for the Null hypothesis but remove the ‘no’ and replace with ‘a’ For example:
Alt hypothesis (H1): There is a correlation between [dependent variable] and [independent variable].
Leave the hypotheses as two statements for now – after your statistical
analysis test, you will choose one or the other. (You will report: "We fail to
reject the null hypothesis" with no significant result, or if you do have
significance [p-value = < 0.05] you can state "We reject the null
hypothesis". More guidance on hypothesis testing is given in the lectures.)
