Look at one of the suggested data sets, or
collect your own data. Analyze the data using the following outline:
State the Research question, e.g. "What do students think about an
all freshmen East Campus?"
Formalize it, e.g.:
Do students prefer an all fresh East?
Are there any differences betw freshm, soph, juniors & seniors?
Any diff's across majors?
Are sex and east campus pref related?
Describe how you collected your data or which exisiting data
you will use.
For example,
randomly sample n=100 students (best randomization practicable was

Ask each student for:
want all fresh east? (0: no, 1: yes)
year (1: fresh, 2: soph, 3: junior, 4: senior)
major (ENGL,STAT,...)
sex (0: male, 1: female)
