Your specific assignment for this week is to select a type of quantitative data to collect from your own life. Some examples of data to collect could be:

How long it takes to drive to work each day.

How many hours of TV shows you watch each day.

Number of phone calls you get each day.

In a brief paper, describe the data you are going to collect. Start collecting data today so you have can have at least 10 observations, preferably more.

Note: you only have to choose one variable, and then collect 10 days worth of data on that one variable. For example, if your variable is how long it takes you to drive to work each day, simply record how long it takes you to get to work for 10 days. Save this date for use in remaining SLP assignments.

Submit your paper to CourseNet for grading containing the above information by the end of this module.
