Integrated Project Write-up
You can find this assignment on Canvas (on the EWRT homepage or in the Assignments).
Integrated Project Presentation
 Due in our final exam period: Monday, June 25, 11:30 AM.
 You will have three minutes to present to us what you learned from your data
collection and analysis project. Your presentation should cover the following things:
 1. What question(s) did you ask in your survey?
 2. Who did you sample? How did you find them?
 3. What were your results? Consider reporting relevant stats: mean(s), percentage(s),
correlation.
 4. How did your results compare to the results that you found online? Were your results
significantly different from the online results? Consider reporting the confidence interval
that you calculated.
 5. What is your conclusion from these data?
 If your results were as expected, what does this tell us?
 If your results are different than expected, why do you think this is?
 6. What did you learn about collecting data and/or doing research from this project?
 On the next slide, I’ll talk about what kind of slide you should have to accompany
your presentation
Slide for Integrated Project Presentation
 You should prepare ONE SLIDE. I recommend you use Google Slides
or Powerpoint. If you want to join the group slideshow on Google
Slides, look for the link in the email that I send to you (and or in
the Canvas Announcements).
 Whatever you use, you need to be able to load it on this computer in
less than ten seconds. We will not have time for technical difficulties.
 Your slide should probably include:
 A title.
 The question(s) you asked.
 A brief description of your sample.
 The most relevant stats (mean, percentage, correlation).
 The comparison between your results and the results of the online
research you did.
 A question or questions about your results that you want to answer or
explain.
 You may also want to include some kind of picture or illustration to
capture your audience’s interest.
 See the next slide for an example.
Do adults believe in Santa Claus?
 My question:
“Do you believe in Santa Claus, or not?”
 I also asked their age.
 Sample: convenience sample of 56 adults
surveyed on the De Anza campus.
 Age of sample
 Mean: 21.7
 Range: 18-29
 Percentage belief in Santa Claus in my sample:
 Yes: 58%
 No: 32%
 Not sure: 10%
 According to [statistical analysis], there is no
relation between age and belief in Santa Claus
in my sample.
 In an original poll by Public Policy Polling, 31% of
respondents said they believe in Santa Claus.
 A 95% confidence interval around my sample ”yes”
percent (58%) does not include 31%. This suggests that
my sample percentage differs significantly from the
sample in the poll.
 Questions raised by my results:
 Why do so many adults believe in Santa Claus?
 Why might my sample be different? Why might De Anza
students believe more strongly in Santa Claus?
[NOTE: this is a sample. Not all parts of this slide may be
relevant to your project or results.]
Check-in
 First, I want to briefly talk to everyone
who brought a FULL draft today (at least 6
pages).
 Then, I want to briefly check-in with
everyone else.
 I’m going to ask you two questions:
 1. Where are you at with your draft?
 2. What do you need from me?
 Then I will do what I can.
 While I’m checking in, please work quietly
on your paper.
