Create a research hypothesis in your area of study (Health Information Management) that would be answered using either a z- or a t- test. Include the following:

Introduction: Brief description of the study including the purpose and importance of the research question being asked.

What is the null hypothesis? What is the research hypothesis?

Participants/Sampling Method: Describe your sampling method. What is your sample size? Who is your population of interest? How representative is the sample of the population under study?

Data Analysis: Describe the statistical analysis. What is your variable? What is its level of measurement? What is your alpha level?

Results & Discussion: Did you reject the null hypothesis? What information did you use to lead you to your conclusion? Was your p value greater than or less than your alpha?
