I'm in a stupid fuckin' Applied Statistics class and I need ideas for this project I have to do.
Anyway, the deal is I'm supposed to conduct some sort of data sampling. I need to pick a question with a quantitative answer (like numbers that can be averaged). The population can be whatever I want it to be, as long as I get a sample of at least 30 individuals. Also, the sample has to have two subgroups to compare (like men and women or something).
Anyway, I need ideas. The only idea I came up with on my own would take WAY too much work (seeing how many times the word "Iraq" is used in Newsweek and it's corresponding US News and World Report for so many weeks).
Anyway, yeah, HALP.
