You will identify a variable then collect, organize, summarize, and analyze a set of data. You
will then prepare a report of your study. Since you will be performing calculations on the data,
your variable should be in the appropriate format. Your variable should be quantitative and
preferably ratio level of measurement. An example of an acceptable variable would be my pulse
upon waking. You should have at least 20 observations in your data set. NOTE: This is an
individual project. You may seek help for proofing the final report, but you must do all the
planning, statistics-related work, and the report by yourself. If you have any questions, please
contact me.
