Write a survey with at least six (6) questions.The survey needs to include at least three (3) questions that are quantitative and at least three (3) questions that are qualitative. You can have more if you would like and they can be either quantitative or qualitative. (Please see the 'Sample of Surveys' link at the bottom of this page to see past examples from students.)

For the two quantitative questions, think about something that may have a relationship that can be shown on a scatter plot (see step 5 below).
Pick a topic that is of interest to you.
If you do not feel comfortable talking to people, you can use Facebook, or I have had students conduct surveys of their CDS, library books, bills at a restaurant where they work, ....
Collect the data.

Collect the data from at least 30 people or about 30 things.
Enter the data into Excel.

Let the first column in Excel be your subjects (numbered 1 – 30) and each column in Excel represent a question that you asked. Enter the answers into the corresponding cells.
Summary Statistics

For EACH question that is quantitative you need to find the following summary statistics by hand, using your calculator or using Excel.
Summary Statistics: Mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation and five number summary.
Create Graphs

Create a pie chart for one set of qualitative data.
Create a bar chart for a different set of qualitative data.
Create a graph for one set of quantitative data. This can include a histogram, ogive, frequency polygon, or box and whisker plot (box plot). The easiest, in my opinion, is to do a box and whisker by hand and scan it in.
Create a scatter plot for two of your quantitative data sets.
Write a paper that includes all of the above.The paper should be double spaced and size 12 font. Your paper should specifically include and address the following:
