you will complete a Course Project in this course that will span two weeks. The project is broken into two parts. You will complete Part I in Week 6 and Part II in Week 7. In Week 6, Confidence Intervals will be explored and in Week 7 Hypothesis testing will be explored. 

A confidence interval is a defined range of values such that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within the interval. 

In Part I of this project, you will analyze data, complete research and provide a write-up that includes calculations.  

Deliverables
