Project 3. Roll your own statistical study. Collect your own data on two categorical variables whose relationship seems interesting. A simple example is the gender of a student and his or her political party preference. A more elaborate example is the year in school of a college undergraduate and his or her plans following graduation (immediate employment, further study, take some time off, …). We won’t insist on a proper SRS.

Collect your data and make a two-way table. Do an analysis that includes comparing percentages to describe the relationship between your two variables and using the chi-square statistic to assess its significance. Write a description of your study and its findings. Was your sample so small that lack of significance may not be surprising?
