Essay Data Collection and Analysis and Professional Context – Statistics Assignment Help

Assignment Task :

1) Data collection, analysis and write-up

You will collect and analyse some biological data in order to answer a biological question. These data may be in the form of observations or experimental measurements that you yourself have collected, or else taken from internet resources. DO NOT simply copy an analysis from another source, or from a previous assignment you have done for another unit. 

We strongly encourage you to formulate your own question that you wish to test and the practicals from Week 5 onwards are there to help you achieve this and provide feedback for you. However, on the SLE251 unit site we have suggested some experiments or online data sets, and relevant questions, that you may wish to test if you cannot think of an appropriate thing to measure and test yourself. 

2) Professional context 

As the SLE251 unit also forms part of your career education, we require you to identify the professional context in which your work and the skills learnt are relevant and valued, and articulate how the project has helped provide you with evidence of some fundamental transferable skills: critical thinking, problem solving, communication, research skills and discipline specific knowledge; for inclusion in your resumé or in job applications and interviews. You will also find 2 jobs currently being advertised (one science-based, one non-science) and get you to address 4 relevant selection criteria from the job ads (2 for each job) using the STAR technique you will learn about in classes. 

Either by yourself, or with your group, plan a simple experiment or set of observations. 

Your study will take one of two forms: either 

a) examine the difference between the mean measurements taken from two or more groups/samples. 

b) examine whether two sets of continuous (scale) measurements are related to each other In the type a) study ideally you should collect at least 20 measurements from each
