Data Collection

For the statistics project you are completing in this course, you will need to select a relevant topic that will allow you to gather both qualitative and quantitative data. You may gather data from a group of your choice using a data collection instrument (survey or data mining) that you design. Using the results of that collection instrument, you will create a data set, analyze the data, and create a professional report showing the results of the data that you collected.

For this assignment you will choose a topic and create a data collection instrument. When selecting a topic, remember you need to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. Data collection could be done in the form of a survey via a medium such as Survey Monkey or Facebook or through available workplace content such as sales orders. You will want to collect data from approximately 30 observations. This means you will want to survey at least 30 people or select data from 30 different sales orders.

Submit the topic of the study, a rationale (one or two paragraphs) outlining the purpose of the study, and the data collection instrument you created as a Word document. Include relevant survey links if the data is being collected digitally.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Review Group Problems G11-1: Exchange Rate Effect on Industry and G11-2: Exchange Rate Effects on Your Firm, located at the end of Chapter 11 in Managerial Economics: A Problem Solving Approach. Select one problem that relates to you and your current position in the work environment. Complete your response in 750-1,000 words. Support your response with personal experiences or examples.

Alternate Scenario: If you are in an industry that does not deal with any foreign exchange transactions, use the petroleum industry for this assignment. Imagine that you work for a domestic oil refinery, and answer either question G11-1 or G11-2. You do not work for an oil producer, but rather for a refinery, which turns crude oil into many different petroleum products, from jet fuel to gasoline, which are then sold to world markets. You have the option of purchasing crude oil from U.S. sources or from various foreign countries. You must purchase crude oil in order to make products that you can sell in the United States or in other countries.
