Problem 1RQ1

Prepare a survey question designed to collect data for each variable.
Select 10 people to administer your two survey questions to (one for dependent and one for independent variable).
Reflect on your sample.
- Do you think your sample is a representative one?
- Is what you learn likely to hold true in the larger population, or might there be something about your sample that makes it different from the population as a whole?

Fill out a table that presents the data from your survey.
- Put the independent variable categories in the columns and the dependent variable categories in the rows. Count and enter the number of respondents for each table cell.
- You may want to create another table and calculate percentages within each column to help you compare groups.Table Template
  
  Independent Variable Category #1 Independent Variable Category #2
  
  Dependent Variable Category #1
  
  Dependent Variable Category #2
Analyze your results by comparing the responses in each cell of the table.
- What do the patterns you see tell you about your hypothesis? Is it supported or not?
- If your hypothesis is supported, are there any variables you should control for to ensure that the relationship between the independent and dependent variable is a causal one? How would you go about controlling for one of these variables?
