Signature Assignment Presentation

The purpose of this assignment is to use skills you have learned throughout all five weeks of the course.

Create a four- to five-minute PowerPoint^® presentation, including:

• One slide on you topic and question (approximately one minute):
  • Which topic/question did you choose?
  • Why does it interest you?
• One to two slides of visuals (approximately two to three minutes).
  • These should be clear, neat, organized, and labeled.
  • Explain why you chose to create these and what you can conclude from the visuals.
  • How do these visuals support your conclusion?
• One slide for a conclusion (approximately one minute).
  • Restate your topic and question, and give your answer to the question.
  • Discuss how your topic and question relate to your degree program.
  • Discuss what you learned from this project.
• Include detailed speaker notes for each slide.

Consider the following questions when creating your speaker notes:

• How did the outliers impact the mean and median? How did they impact the histogram?
• How would you describe the shape of your histogram? Is it skewed?
• Which do you think is a better measure of central tendency, median or mean? Why?
• How would you describe how spread out your data is? What did you calculate or which visual supports your conclusion on how spread out the data is?
