Question 1. Create one research question and select a data set to test your research question. Your research question should be one of the two types outlined in “Data and Research Questions.” Note that the data set should align with the research question and contains at least 20 observations.

Research question: Is the mean coral reef underwater temperatures in Florida continuing to rise year after year which is causing the coral species to die off.

Using Excel, calculate the descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, and five-number summary) of your data set. If your research question is to compare the mean of two groups, calculate the descriptive statistics for each group’s data set. (25%)
