    Experimental Design

    1. Design a survey. You are going to ask other students in the class four questions, 2 of which you will create:  

    What is your gender (Male, Female, Other Answer)?

    How many units are you currently taking?

    Question 3 ________________________________________________________________________

    Responses to Question 3 _____________________________________________________________

    Question 4 ________________________________________________________________________

    Responses to Question 4 _____________________________________________________________

    1. Collect Data from Students in class ‐ ask as many students as possible the 4 questions. Put the responses here.

    1. Is this an observational study or an experiment? Explain?
    2. What type of sampling method did you use?
    3. Now, enter the data in the Minitab worksheet lab03.mpj. There will be 4 columns: Gender, Units, Question3, Question4.
    4. Create a graph that shows the percentage of each gender in your sample.
    5. Create a graph that shows the distribution of Units.
    6. Create a graph that shows the distribution of Question 3.
    7. Create a graph that shows the distribution of Question 4.
    8. Create a graph that shows the distribution of Question 3 by Gender.
    9. Create a graph that shows the distribution of Question 4 by Units.
    10. Write a paragraph describing the graphs, pointing out anything you found of interest.
