Identify which two quantitative questions you will use for your scatter plot.
Please look in the Project section in Content, under Unit 2, for the instructions, rubric, and other materials for the Project before starting this discussion.
Post your theme, six (6) survey questions, and the two quantitative questions you will use for your scatter plot. Do not duplicate surveys. As a reminder, at least 3 questions should be qualitative and at least 3 questions should be quantitative. Copy and paste the following for your post. You are required to provide feedback for at least one other person’s survey. When providing feedback, here are some things to consider: can you answer the question easily/quickly, can you answer the question accurately, are there questions that you are not sure what is being asked, etc. I will provide feedback if needed and reply “Approved” to indicate you have received the points for the project survey check (1 point per question, on a common theme, 1 point identifying which two quantitative questions you will use for the scatter plot, 1 point for describing the expected association for a total of 8 points) and you are good to go to begin collecting data. Please see tips for creating your survey questions below. If you are required to update and resubmit, please DO NOT edit your original post. Respond to the thread with a new post so that the history of the changes can be tracked.

Tips for Survey Questions:
1. Do not offer choices for your quantitative questions because you will not be able to calculate all summary statistics.
2. For qualitative questions if there are many possible responses, provide choices (no more than 6 to 8). Make sure you include your options when stating your questions. You may want to include a “other” option.
3. Include units of measures for quantitative questions. As an example, instead of asking how long do you exercise for, ask how many minutes do you exercise at a time?
4. Avoid questions that people will have to approximate their response on (i.e. how many texts have you sent in the last month?).

Sample Post
Theme: Books
What is your population? All Books
What is your sample and how will you get it? I will sample 30 books from my personal library.
Quantitative Question 1: How many years ago were you published? (Note: this is a better way to ask “In what year were you published” for making it quantitative)
Quantitative Question 2: How long are you, in pages?
Quantitative Question 3: What edition are you?
The two questions that will be used for my scatter plot “How many years ago were you published?” and “How long are you, in pages?” I believe there will be positive association because I think that newer (younger) books will be longer.
Qualitative Question 1: Are you hardback, paperback, or eBook?
Qualitative Question 2: What is your genre? Choices: mystery, sci-fi, drama, romance, comedy, fantasy, other
Qualitative Question 3: Are you fiction or non-fiction?
