MATH 211 Week 5 Discussion | Embry Riddle Aeronautical University | Assignment Help
Module 5 - Discussion:
Formulating Research Questions
This
activity is a lead-in to the course project that comes in Modules 8 and 9. You
will be asked to do something similar to this in another upcoming discussion
and then in the course project at the end of the course.
In a research project, the researcher normally
has a research question in mind and then develops a research methodology that
includes such things as determining the type of data that will be needed to
address the question, how the data will be collected, and how the data will be
analyzed. Due to time constraints, you will take a different approach to
developing a research question. You will be given data that has already been
collected and asked to develop a possible research question from the data.
For this discussion,
open the Stat Crunch file Housing_Prices_Categorical_Factors. The
variables in the file are explained in the file description in Stat Crunch. The
following file tells you how to enroll in the course Stat Crunch Group and retrieve
group files. You will need to do that in order to view the Housing Prices file
for this discussion activity.
Look at the
description of the variables in the file and the variables themselves and
develop a “research question” that might be interesting to explore using this
data set. Some examples are:
·
Is there a difference in average selling price based on whether
the house is on the water front or not?
·
Do new houses sell for more than old houses? NOTE: For something
like this, you would have to define what you mean by new and old.
Develop your own
research question and post it in the discussion. Be Creative! Don’t use one of
the questions above and don't use one someone else has already posted. Instead,
try to find something that might be interesting to you. In addition to posting
your question, also tell what method or methods you would use to answer your question
(of those studied so far).
You should post your
initial response no later than the 4th day of the week. By the end of the week,
return to the discussion forum and review your classmates' postings. Comment on
at least two of them.
