Several of you have raised some good questions about the application project. Here are some of those questions, along with my answers. If you have other questions that are general in nature, feel free to leave them in the comments below. I’ll answer them as they come in.

1. Where can we read the application project assignment description? Here you go.
2. Where can we see the grading rubric for the application project? That’s available right here.
3. Should we include the results of our check of the normality assumption on the infographic? Yes, that’s where those results belong. However, you don’t have to make them a prominent part of your infographic.
4.  How should we cite our sources on the infographic? One good option is to use footnotes¹.
5. What goes in the “designer’s statement” that accompanies our infographic? See the assignment description for the three questions you should address in your 400-to-600-word designer’s statement.
6. Should we include our names in the infographic itself? Yes.
7. How do we submit our infographic? The member of your team with “contributor” status here on the blog should draft a new blog post and insert your infographic into that post. This means you’ll need to convert your infographic to a file format that’s Web-friendly, like a JPEG or PNG file. To insert an image in a post, click on the “Upload/Insert” icon near the top of the “Add New Post” editing interface.
8. Did you decide when on Monday the projects will be due? Yes, I’m sticking with the start-of-class deadline: Monday, April 23rd, 12:10 p.m. If you submit yours by 11am that day, you’ll be eligible for poster session prizes.
9. So… what’s up with the last-day-of-class poster session idea? I wasn’t able to find an adequate room for the usual kind of poster session, so we’re going to have a seated poster session. I’ll bring copies of your infographics (provided they’re submitted at least an hour before class) to pass around. You’ll get to vote on the infographics in the following categories: Most Interesting Application, Best Data Visualization, and Most Attractive Infographic. Winning teams in each category will receive a bit of extra credit on their projects.
10. NEW: How much of our computations should we show on the infographic? I need answers and enough info about the hypothesis test itself to know you chose the right test and used it correctly. So, for instance, did you do a one-sample or two-sample test? Did you test for a population mean or population proportion? Did you use a z-test or a t-test? What I don’t need are all the intermediate calculations.
