The purpose of this assignment is to get you to think about what types of problems you will be solving in your career using data. In this assignment, you choose a topic and the associated problem to solve. You will solve the problem throughout the rest of this course.

Selecta topic with your data set from theSignature Assignment Topics and Scenarios.You have six topics to choose from that align to various career disciplines.

Reviewthedata sets helpif you are struggling to locate all of the data sets.

Answerthe following questions using at least 175 words:

• What topic did you choose?
• Why does it interest you?
• What do you hope to discover in your analysis?

Createat least three visuals.

• One visual must be a scatterplot with trend line, equation and R²value.
• Two of the remaining required visuals can be a histogram, box and whisker plot, or pie chart.
• Please note that the data sets include data that will not be needed to create your visuals. Quantitative reasoning requires critical thinking to decide what data is necessary.

Createa Word document that includes your three visuals and the following items:

• Title of your project and the scenario you are addressing
• Brief description of each visual (15 to 50 words)
• Consider including the following for each visual when applicable:A chart title that is appropriate for the data
• A descriptive x-axis label
• A descriptive y-axis label
• For your xy scatterplot,make at least one prediction using the trendline equation for some date into the future. How confident are you in this prediction? State your prediction and provide justification (50 to 150 words).
• If you created a box and whisker plot, describe the central tendency of the values. What does this tell you about the data and about your project?
• Calculate the mean of the sample data.
