Statistical and Predictive Modeling I (DATA 1204)

Assignment #2 – Hypothesis Testing (15% of Total Grade)


Professor: Fatma Tetikoglu

Recently a cholesterol level experiment was conducted on 150 individuals. The results can be
found in the CholestrolLevel.xlsx database.

Goal of Analysis
The research team is trying to determine whether an individual’s cholesterol level has changed
or not after applying a certain diet program properly for the past 6 months.
Questions:
1. State the Hypothesis Statement (by using an ‘if’ statement) that helps solve the research
question. (1%)
2. Provide a written step-by-step outline (in a total of 5 steps) on how you would prove (or
dis-prove) your hypothesis statements that you developed above. (8%)
3. Conduct the analysis you outlined in #2 in R. (4%)
4. Create a “Summary of Findings and Conclusion” section for your analysis. (2%)

Hint: Leverage the Week #5 – Exercise

Important Note: To use the dataset, we need to import it to R. To do that:


1. Please copy CholestrolLevel.xlsx dataset into your RData1204 directory. Please ensure
that the file is called CholestrolLevel.xlsx.
2. Using the top right box click the “Environment” tab.
3. Now click “Import Dataset”.
4. Select “From Excel” since it’s an .xlsx file.
5. Click “Browse” on the right top of the pop-up page.
6. Find the CholestrolLevel.xlsx file that you downloaded.
7. Click “Open”
8. Click “Import”

Please post your Word Document (.doc or .docx) including


your R script via assignments under Assignment #2
by 11:59 pm on Friday, June 2nd, 2023.

Remember that DC Connect doesn't accept R script files. All you need to do is
to copy the code from your top left panel in R and paste it at the bottom of
your word document.
