September 2017 - December 2017

The myth is - that rubbing Testudo’s nose brings good luck to the person. The myth was operationalized into null and alternative hypothesis. The independent variable and dependent variable were measured on nominal scale and ordinal scale respectively. Surveys were used to collect data from UMD students and alumni. Assessed and determined that the two sample two-tailed t-test is the most fitting statistical analysis for the myth and implemented it using R on the survey data. As the p-value was less than alpha, the null hypothesis was rejected, and myth confirmed. Click here for full report. Click here for video.
