Here's an email I just sent to one of your peers regarding your homework--maybe it'll help recap what we talked about in class.

Also, I've uploaded a pdf file of the homework, just in case you can't find yours.

You have two jobs for each of the circled scenarios. First, identify the variables that were recorded and whether you think they're quantitative (a measurement of some type, with units) or categorical (results separated into groups/categories). Then, try to identify the context:

Who is the study about? (Who (or what) provided the data/information?)

What is being recorded? (This will be the same as your variables list, no need to write this twice)

Where is this study done? And when?

Why is this information being collected?

How is it being collected?

We did talk about this some in class, so just do your best. We'll be discussing our responses tomorrow in class. I can't wait!

Enjoy the rest of your labor day!
