MATH 211 Week 5 Discussion | Assignment Help | ERAU
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.
