Is the Mean Starting Salary for a Bachelor’s Student

Will there be bias?

• The data collected will have a bias because bachelor’s students tend to indicate that they earn more salary than their actual salary for they want prestige. Therefore, the bias may lead to an inaccurate finding that the mean starting salary for a bachelor’s student is more than the actual mean.

What are my goals?

• My goals are to determine the mean starting salary for a bachelor’s student, undertake descriptive statistics, depict the distribution of salary, and test the hypothesis. Since salaries that bachelor’s students earn vary, I want to determine the mean starting salaries for bachelor’s students in the university and undertake descriptive statistics. Moreover, I will explore and depict the distribution of starting salaries for bachelor’s students using graphs such as scatter plot, histogram, boxplot, and stem-and-leaf plot. Ultimately, I will test the hypothesis that the mean starting salary for a bachelor’s is $30,000.
