ECON 351 BSU COVID 19 State Incidence T Test Comparison of Virginia & Florida Report

Testing Difference in COVID-19 Incidences Across States

Project Goals

The main goal of this project is to help students to build skills in statistical analysis by applying the descriptive statistics tools to estimate the mean COVID-19 Cases per 100,000 people (C19CP100000) and the mean COVID-19 Proportion of Total Deaths in Total Cases (C19PTDITC) for each of your two selected US selected states, and then use those estimates and the inferential statistics to test the difference in COVID-19 incidences across the two selected states. Students are expected to write their final research report which must describe the population of interest to the analysis, the data collection procedure, the implementation of the statistical procedure to estimate the population parameters (mean C19CP100000 and the mean C19PTDITC) using the sample data, the interpretation of the results, and the policy recommendations.
