Week 8

Image
    Hi all, hope everyone had a great spring break and is ready for the final half of the semester. Unfortunately, I was not able to make it to this week's team meeting as I had a Doctors appointment that ran long. At this point we are still in the process of analyzing the data we collected last year. After checking the 95% confidence interval of our data, we did find that our data landed within the range where can confidently say that our data is statistically meaningful. Meaning, our data did not fall within the range where it could simply be attributed to a mere coincidence.   For our next meeting, we will be going into further detail on the paper we are going to be writing. So it should be fun to start to bring everything back full circle now that we have looked at the numbers and try to put together our findings.     

Week 6

    Hi all, Over the past week, I wrapped up the statistical calculations for the data collected last semester. Additionally, I decided to invest some time in deepening my comprehension of the statistical elements associated with our research. This involved watching lots of YouTube videos on statistics and exploring topics such as normal distribution, binomial distribution, standard deviation, and the 68-95-99.7 rule, among others. Apart from my research commitments, I've been busy preparing for midterms. I hope everyone is making good progress with their research projects, and I wish you all the best of luck as we approach midterms.

Week 5

  Hi all, Throughout this past week, my focus has been on delving into the statistical analysis phase of our project. Given that so much of the previous semester was dedicated to data collection, I'm thrilled about transitioning into the mathematical aspects of our work. Since I haven't taken a statistics course yet, I am enjoying this hands-on learning of topics such as confidence interval through our research. This week's meeting has been rescheduled to the next, so I'm looking forward to reconnecting with the rest of the team next week to discuss our findings and transition to the next phase of our research.
