Describe the data you have collected or will collect.

This is a different kind of discussion assignment in that the goal is to discuss your project with me and plan ahead about how you will use a simple statistical test to analyze your data (rather than discuss a topic with your peers). However, it will involve a back and forth discussion with me, with the goal being to leave you confident on how to analyze your data and prepared to do that successfully.
I have set this up as an assignment so you will submit to me only but it will go in the discussion category for this week’s lab for grading purposes. The goal is for you to share with me what type of data you have collected or, in the case you have not finished, will collect. We can do this even if you have not collected all your data yet since you will already know the general form that your data will take.
In general, you will be using very simple statistical tests. If one of you happens to be a statistics or math major or just know a lot about statistical testing from your job or background and you want to choose a more complex type of analysis, that is, of course, fine.
For your assignment,
Describe the data you have collected or will collect.
What is your independent variable? Is it quantitative (such as # hours of sunlight) or categorical (color of food item offered = red, green, or blue)? If categorical, how many categories did you have?
What is your dependent variable? Is it quantitative (such as plant height) or categorical (response was to run or stay – 2 categories)? If categorical, how many categories did you have?
Did you have more that one dependent variable? If so, answer the dependent variable questions for all of your dependent variables.
What were the groups in your study? What was the sample size for each group?
Do you have any ideas on how you might analyze your data?
remember go back to your project proposal and think of what you said you wating to do as your project and now that it is going what happended, happening explain.
