2 ) (Clearly identify your research objective . The research objective should identify a quantitative*variable that you would like to estimate the population mean for and clearly identify the populationof interest . The data you collect will be a single numeric response .( ex : Estimate the mean number of text messages sent per day by\students . Estimate theThean diameter of the trees in Cummings Nature Center . )b) Determine how you will collect your sample data .What sampling method will you use ? Your sampling method should not be strictly aconvenience sample .

Optionsinclude using data from another class , a job , or the internet , conducting an experiment ,distributing paper surveys , using the survey function in Stal Crunch , etc .If appropriate , what wording would you use to ask your question ?C ) If you had 6 months and a research grant to collect data to answer your research objective , describein detail how you would modify your data collection process described in ( b ) . Would you stillneed to make an estimate , or could you collect data from every unit in your population ?!. Research Question : Estimate the mean daily spending of a college student on weekdays !.Enter your data into StatCrunch .Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the population mean for your variable .Remember to define the research objective , the population , and the parameter to estimate , and toshow your work for all 4 steps . Clearly state how the conditions are met ( or not ) . If all conditionsare not met , continue the process in order to complete the assignment and comment in yourinterpretation how this may have influenced your confidence interval .
