HW - 2/15/13

This weekend's homework is to complete Assignment 2 and analyze the results of your survey.

Look over your survey and for each relevant question:

• -        Code the responses
• -        Run a basic statistical analysis – determine the most useful statistics that you can like mean, mode, median, standard deviation, frequencies, range, maximum, minimum, Q1 and Q3
• -        Make inferences based on your analysis – ie. what is the data telling you?

Based on your analyses of the class surveys, carry out the following:

• -        create visual representations of the data from the question you studied (ex. a graph)
• -        draw conclusions about the food choices or eating behaviors of your subjects
• osupport this conclusion by referring to specific pieces of data, calculations, statistical analyses, etc.

Think about how your methods of investigation influenced your results?

• -        Are there examples where you feel the way that you asked a question have a meaningful influence on the responses? Support your answer.
• -        Are there examples where who you asked had a meaningful influence on the responses? Support your answer.
