  1. Give a brief description of a study that you would like to do where you would collect sample data. What would your population be? How would you go about collecting your information from this population? What type of sampling technique would you be using and why is this appropriate for what you want to study?

 

  1. Complete either the tattoo example or the rank in college example from the SPSS workbook. Paste the descriptive output into your posting (this must be included to show you did it).
