See attached assignment for details about these memos! You should choose a different data set and question from what you chose in Memo #1.
Your memo should be 400-500 words, and include the following:
Provide an interesting and informative title to draw in readers.
State a question that you are going to try to answer with the data. This should be a meaningful question that you can attempt to answer with your analysis, not simply “what is the distribution of [some variable].”
Provide a brief overview of the data set. This should tell the reader where the data set comes from (i.e., the primary source, not Blackboard!), who is included in the data set, and what type of information the data include.
Develop at least 3 exhibits (frequency tables, graphs, charts, tables with summary statistics, etc.) to try to answer your posed question. Each exhibit should summarize your data and provide different information about the question you are trying to answer. For example, a frequency distribution and histogram for the same variable provide the same information and are therefore redundant.
You must aggregate the data in some way before putting it into a table or figure Include your exhibits at the end of the text. Figures that simply plot the raw data will count against your grade.
Label exhibits 1, 2, 3, etc., and refer to the exhibits by number in your text.
Each exhibit should have a title and all elements (axes, etc.) should be clearly labeled.
Summarize (in words) some key takeaways from the data presented in the exhibits that help to answer your question.
Describe conclusions you can draw from your statistical analysis, supported by the information presented in your exhibits.
Discuss any potential shortcomings or biases associated with your data. For example, who may not be represented in the data? What other data would you ideally use to answer your question?
