State the significance of your question
Writing your final introduction and conclusion
Part I. Research and writing: from planning to production

Now you must show your readers the significance of answering your research question. Imagine a reader asking that most vexing question, So what?, then answer it. Frame your response as a larger cost of not knowing the answer to your research question:

Ever since Girolamo Cardano . . . mathematical perspective.context But risk communicators have discovered that. . . . What is not understood is whether such nonexpert risk assessment is based on random guesses or whether it has systematic properties.question restated [So what?] Until we understand how risk is understood by nonexperts, an important aspect of human reasoning will remain a puzzle: the kind of cognitive processing that seems systematic but lies outside the range of what is called “rational thinking.”significance

Alternatively, you can phrase the cost as a benefit:

Ever since Girolamo Cardano . . . mathematical perspective.context But risk communicators have discovered that. . . . What is not understood is whether such nonexpert risk assessment is based on random guesses or whether it has systematic properties.question restated [So what?] If we could understand how ordinary people make decisions about risks in their daily lives, we could better understand a kind of cognitive processing that seems systematic but lies outside the range of what is called “rational thinking.”significance

You may struggle to answer that So what? It is a problem that only experience can solve, but the fact is, even experienced researchers can be vexed by it.
