I need to do a final project for my statistics class. The project was assigned at the beginning of the semester and I haven't even thought about it yet. Which is bad because the semester is about half over and the professor wants to see what we've got done so far. But, before I can actually start working on the project, I need to come up with an idea for it first. I'm hoping that some of you guys here might have an idea for the project. It needs to be something where I can easily get the data I need, I'm not very social either so nothing crazy. And something thats not going to take me forever to do, something I can conduct in just an hour or two.
The only idea I can think of right now is this:
In several spots in my school there are halls that split into two paths and then come together again. So your walking down the hall and all of a sudden you have to either go left or right, but they both lead to the same place, which way do you go? So my idea is to wait for someone to choose and then ask them a few questions, like: their age, gender, education, major. And see if there is any connection between them, like if older males tend to go left or something like that. I'll take a sample of like 20 people and see what results I get.
Well, thats my only idea at the moment, its not the best so maybe you guys can come up with something better. The professor wants us to have a proposal ready so she can tell us if what were doing is ok or not. Some examples can be found at:
