Some common mistakes when doing this project. They are as follows:

1. Some students do not explain/interpret ALL the metrics from the descriptive statistics table. Show your work, no pics of your work on paper.

2. Providing definitions is not the same as interpretation.

3. The goal of the question is to go beyond the mean to assess the performance.

More:

1. In question 3, you are comparing the ratings of the two groups.  Sometimes the averages that are seen are 12.6 vs 0.8. This means you are highlighting the wrong column. Don’t take the average of the “does it have stars” column.

2. Some students do not understand the meaning of the metrics in the regression output table and base their answers on the wrong figures. 

Use the rubric to check yourself. This is a big part of your grade, so do not skip anything in your rubric. This is attached below.
