Library handout with tips and sources for your project – Data ISP Research-feb2011FINAL

In this assignment you will be looking at the relationship between 2 variables (or characteristics) in a population of 50: items, people, or geographic regions. You will hypothesize about the relationship between the 2 variables and perform a series of statistical analysis to test the relationship and to draw some conclusions.

What relationship do you hypothesize there might be between:

  • height and shoe size?
  • the number of shoes vs the number of books owned?

Form a hypothesis and test it against the results found here http://bit.ly/fYCoKj
