The Analysis of Two Related Variables The eventual goal of this assignment is to analyze two quantitative variables (that may be related to each other) to see if you can predict one from the other (part II). The data set should consist of a set of individual people or things (say, 30 or more) on which two variables have been measured. The data can either be from a sample, a survey, or an experiment. They may be real data you found in a published source (not the textbook, and not one that has already analyzed the data!) or may be data you gathered yourself. Both variables need to be continuous (or at least have a large number of different levels if discrete). For this preliminary part, you should describe in a brief paragraph: (1) the individuals or objects in your sample; (2) how you will obtain the data; and (3) which two NUMERICAL variables will be measured or observed for each individual or objects. Also, as a guide, please fill out the following table with a "hypothetical data set" for your chosen individuals and variables. These should not be the actual data that you will be working with! These are just values that you imagine your variables might take for the different individuals in your data set: Once you have filled in this hypothetical data table with fake data values, ask yourself: Are the data values all numerical? If not, reconsider the variables you will be using. Are both variables continuous? If so, good. If one or more variables are discrete, is there a large variety of different levels (values) for the variable(s) in the data set? If there are only a few levels, reconsider the variables you will be using. You may work individually or in a group of 2. When submitting your assignment through Harvey, both members of the group must submit the project. When working in groups, each member should contribute significantly to the project. Now, start thinking about your actual project: Answer the following Questions. Identify a population to study. Identify the sampling method to be utilized and why. How is the sample to be collected? (survey, in person questions, email, facebook, etc). Identify the Hypotheses to be tested. Identify the type of test (one population, two population). Identify the Parameter and Statistic to be tested (mean, proportion, etc). Which statistical software will you use?
