Collecting Quantitative Data for Statistical Analysis

This SLP assignment requires students to collect quantitative data for a minimum of 10 days from one of their daily activities, such as studying time, cooking time, phone usage, or driving time. Students need to describe the data they will collect and how they will keep track of the time, incorporating concepts learned in the module like probability theory, independent and dependent variables, and theoretical and experimental probability. They must also discuss predictions, potential skewing events, and whether the data provides a valid representation of these activities.

MAT301 Basics Statistics SLP 1
Order # 17011727357936
The assignment this week is to collect quantitative data for a minimum of
10 days from ONE of your daily activities. Some examples of data
collection include:
 The number of minutes you spend studying every day.
 The time it takes to cook meals each day.
 The amount of daily time spent talking on the phone.
 The amount of time you drive each day.
In a paper (1–3 pages), describe the data you are going to collect and how
you are going to keep track of the time. Within the paper, incorporate the
concepts we are learning in the module, including (but not limited to)
probability theory, independent and dependent variables, and theoretical
and experimental probability. Discuss your predictions of what you
anticipate the data to look like and events that can skew the data. Collect
data for at least 10 days. Include at least 3-5 days of data with your
SLP 1 submission. Continue collecting data for the remaining days for
use in SLP 2. Do you think the data will provide a valid representation of
these activities? Explain why or why not.
Submit your paper at the end of Module 1. Future SLP assignments depend
on this data and thus this assignment needs to be completed early in the
session.
SLP Assignment Expectations
Answer all questions posted in the instructions. Use information from the
modular background readings and videos as well as any good-quality
resource you can find. Cite all sources in APA style and include a
reference list at the end of your paper.
Note about page length: Your ability to clearly articulate and explain these
concepts is being assessed. The page length is a general guideline. A 3- or
4-page paper does not necessarily guarantee a grade of “A.” An “A” paper
would include detailed information and explanations of all the assignment
requirements listed above. The letter grade will be based upon
demonstrated mastery of the content and ability to articulate and apply the
concepts in the assignment. Keep this in mind while writing your paper.
