The student will design and carry out a survey.The student will analyze and graphically display the results of the survey.Instructions: As you complete each task below, check it off. Answer all questions in your summary.____Decide what data you are going to study. EXAMPLES: Here are two examples, but you may NOT use them: number of M&M’s per small bag, number of pencils students have in their backpacks.____Are your data discrete or continuous? How do you know?____Decide how you are going to collect the data (for instance, buy 30 bags of M&M’s; collect data from the World Wide Web).____Describe your sampling technique in detail. Use cluster, stratified, systematic, or simple random (using a random number generator) sampling. Do not use convenience sampling. What method did you use? Why did you pick that method?____Conduct your survey. Your data size must be at least 30.____ Summarize your data in a chart with columns showing data value, frequency, relative frequency and…
