I want to see if I can find data from animal shelters by month, of maybe for two months of the year. I'll call an animal shelter (like Yolo) and see if there is data, or search the internet for it.

I can use the data on animals in the shelters as a single average, and I can compare data for two different months as an independent averages example (like December/January maybe there are more animals in the shelter because of unwanted holiday gifts).

2023-07-02 19:09:38 UTC

I have a couple ideas of what data observations I am interested in. I am thinking of tracking my heart rate of when I wake up to when I go to sleep to see if there are any differences or even similarities. Also I'm interested in watching my heart rate before I do an activity and after doing an activity (walking/gym/etc.).

Then, I want to look online at the first 50-100 pictures of female vs males being active and compare it with race or body size. For the other ideas I would be comparing gender and race as far as being in a work environment.

I want to compare it to my sister's heart rate whenever she is active or at work to compare these results.

Christy G's Ideas

2023-07-03 19:02:47 UTC

For a single average data collection idea, I can recording the number of hours I spend studying each day over the course of a week. I can determine my average weekly study hours by adding up the study hours from each day and dividing by the number of days.

For a two independent averages idea, I can compare the average daily # of steps between two different pairs of athletic shoes (Shoe A and Shoe B). I can wear Shoe A for a certain number of days and track the number of steps with an app on my phone, and do the same with Shoe B. Calculate the average daily step count for Shoe A/Shoe B by adding up the total number of steps and dividing by the number of days.

For a paired comparison idea, I can measure my heart rate before going to work and after I get off work, over the course of a week. I can calculate my average heart rate by adding up the heart rate readings taken before/after work, and divide by the total number of readings for each.

I will create a survey to analyze social media usage patterns. Explore questions related to platform preferences, time spent on social media, content consumption habits, and the impact of social media on well-being.

In this case, the numerical variable could be the average time spent on social media per day. Participants can be asked to estimate the number of hours or minutes they spend on different social media platforms each day or week.

A statistical hypothesis for this project could be: "There is a significant difference in social media usage time among different age groups." This hypothesis suggests that social media usage varies significantly across different age demographics.

I am going to do a single average data collection based on the chart below.

Independent

Variables: Drawings, how many do I do in a day

Numerical Values: Average draws a day

Independent groups: Hours in the day

Dependent groups: how detailed the drawing is, how long each piece takes.

I will collect date to find my average drawings daily. I will collect date from the past two weeks and collect date from this week meaning 21 days in today. I will be focusing on if my average for drawing is at least 2 drawings a day.

1. Single Average Data Collection Idea:

For this one I want to gather data on the average time people spend on social media each day. I can ask the participants to input the amount of time they spend on different social media platforms from their screen time weekly breakdown on a google forms survey.

2. Two Independent Averages Data Collection Idea:

For this one I want to compare the average daily steps taken by the participants in my google forms survey who commute by public transportation versus those who drive. Participants will need to track their steps for a week and submit it to the survey at the end of the week so that I can average out of the participants who drive vs the ones who take public transportation.

3. Paired Comparisons/Matched Pairs Data Collection Idea:

For this one I can try evaluate the effectiveness of two different productivity techniques for my coworkers. I can ask them to use Technique ‘A’ for a week and Technique ‘B’ for another week. They will track their daily productivity or task completion rates using a journal or google forms. Then I will calculate the difference in productivity between the two techniques for each individual and then find the average difference across participants.

Collecting: How many people own a cat?

Description: I work at a clinic and i have asked all patients do they own a cat ?
How many of these patients were female patients or Male patients. Do they own more than 1?

After asking about 40 people. The majority were female patients who owned cats than males. The average was each person owned 2 cats. So they aren’t alone. After asking these patients about cats.

I collected. That 80% of females own cats than males. Which I’m not surprised. I love cats. I’ve owned a cats in my life time including fostering . I own 2 of my own. My parents have 4. Cats are beautiful and very smart animals being able to defend and care for themselves along with not needing someone to care for them which is really cool.

Paired comparisons/matched pairs data collection: To compare the difference to heart beats (BPM) per minute in relation to coffee. 2 participants will measure their BPM before drinking a cup of coffee, and then measure their BPM 30 minutes after drinking their cup of coffee (30 minutes is on average how long it takes caffeine to impact the brain and body).

Emily's (C.) Ideas

2023-07-06 22:39:14 UTC

Single Average:

For my single average I will track my heart rate during the peak of my workout session. I will collect this data by looking at the health app on my phone which records my heart beat via bluetooth from my watch. (Crazy how technology works!) I would then determine my average heart rate by adding up my BPM from each day and dividing it by the number of days I collected data from.

Two Independent Averages:

For my two independent averages I will be comparing the hours spent on instagram vs twitter. Currently, these are my two favorite apps that I bounce back and forth from so to collect this data I would review the “account activity analytics.” I would then add both of the averages from each app and divide them by the number of days.

Paired Comparisons:

For my paired comparison idea, I’d look at my BPM at the time I put on my watch, which is around 7am (only 30 minutes after I wake up) to the time I’m going to bed, which is around 12:30am. I’d look collect a week’s worth of data for this and then calculate the average by adding up the heart rate readings and divide by the number of days (7 days).

Single Average

I would love to find out the average amount of time teenagers spend on their phone. I could do it by creating a survey and asking teenagers to fill it out. Or by selecting an observational unit and looking at their average screen time over a period of time. If I had the means I would take research further and do MRI of their brain before they received their phone and after they had it for the year to see if there are any brain changes such as shrinkage in frontal cortex. And then limit amount of time spend on their phone to an hour a day and encourage daily walks with parents to see what will happen to the brain .

Two Independant Averages

Compare how long on average it takes a male nurse to get the job versus female nurse.

Paired/Comparison

Measure blood pressure of observational unit before and after caffeine intake to see if caffeine would cause spike in blood pressure and if it does, on average how many people would have the pike.

Diana's Ideas

2023-11-06 03:19:55 UTC

1) Single Average Collection Idea: Conducting a survey to determine the average time spent by individuals on social media platforms per day. This information could be insightful for understanding digital habits and their potential impact on various aspects of life, such as mental health, productivity, and social interactions.

The data collection process could involve creating a survey with questions regarding:

Age, gender, and location of the participants.
Specific social media platforms they use.
The average time spent on each platform per day.
How they perceive this time spent in terms of its impact on their daily life, productivity, and mental well-being.

2) Two independent averages data collection idea: Average Commuting Times: Gather data on the average commuting times of individuals in a specific city. This could involve surveying or collecting data from various modes of transportation and routes. For example, you could:

Survey Commuters: Ask individuals about their daily commute times, including the mode of transport used and distance traveled.
Analyze Traffic Data: Gather data from traffic monitoring systems or apps that track commute times in different areas of the city.
Public Transport Data: Collect average commuting times by analyzing public transport schedules and historical data.

The goal is to compile average commuting times for different transport modes (car, bus, subway, walking, etc.) and various routes within the city. Understanding these averages can assist urban planners, policymakers, and transportation authorities in improving infrastructure, identifying congested areas, and implementing measures to reduce Commuting times

3) Paired comparisons/matched pairs data collection idea: Comparing Teaching Methods in Education:

Selection of Participants:
- Identify a group of students within the same grade level or educational setting.
- Split the group into pairs based on similar academic performance or background.
Teaching Method A vs. Teaching Method B:
- Assign each pair of students to two different teaching methods (A and B).
- Ensure that each pair experiences both teaching methods to eliminate biases related to student capabilities or other external factors.
Data Collection:
- Conduct assessments or quizzes to measure the students' learning outcomes after each teaching method session.
- Collect feedback from both students in the pair about their understanding, engagement, and preference for each method.
- Record any observable differences in their comprehension or interaction during lessons.
Analysis:
- Compare the performance of each pair of students between the two teaching methods.
- Analyze the feedback and preferences expressed by the students regarding the teaching methods.

Single average: I like to workout out everyday. Each day I try to workout between 1-2 hours. I’ll collect my data over the next two weeks to see the average of how much time I spend working out.

Double average: I’ll see how much sleep and the amount of homework I get over the next two weeks.

Combined: I’ll see how the lack or added sleep and time spent on homework impacts how long I work out per day.

2025-04-16 03:20:30 UTC

Single Average:
I want to know for my first research idea, what is the average number of study hours per week that college students study? In this study, I will examine one group, all college students. I will collect data by creating a short survey with one simple question: "How many hours do you normally study per week?" I will administer this survey either in person on campus or email and administer the survey to attempt to gather a random sample of 20 to 30 students. The numerical variable that I will measure will be the number of hours each student studies each week. My statistical hypothesis for this study, will test if the true average is equal to 10 study hours. The null hypothesis (H₀) will state that the average study hours per week, is 10. The alternative hypothesis (H₁) will state that average study hours per week, is not 10
Two Independent Averages Data Collection Idea:
For my second research idea, I would like to investigate if students with part-time jobs study for fewer hours per week than students without part-time jobs. Studies would consist of two independent groups: one group made up of college students who have a part-time job currently, and one group made up of college students who do not work any part-time job. I plan to use a survey to collect data from students by asking them two important questions: do you have a part-time job currently, and how many hours do you study each week. My goal is to collect data from no less than 20 students in each group. The numerical variable will again be the number of study hours weekly. The statistical hypothesis for this comparison is concerned with whether job status impacts studying time. Null hypothesis states no difference exists between the two groups and the average study hours are the same. The alternative hypothesis is students that have part-time jobs study for fewer hours per week than students who do not have jobs.
Paired Comparisons / Matched Pairs Data Collection Idea:
For my third research idea, I will determine whether or not using a planner or to-do list can increase the number of hours of study on any single day. Note that this is a paired comparison study that will collect data from the same group of students across two conditions. On the first day, students will study the way they normally do without using any type of planner or to-do list. On the second day, students will use a planner or write a to-do list before studying and measure the number of hours that they study that day. This design will allow me to compare each students' study time across two different conditions. The numeric variable in this study is the number of hours studied per day. The null hypothesis is that the use of a planner or to-do list will not have an affect on the number of hours students study, the average difference is zero. The alternative hypothesis is that a planner or to-do list will increase study hours.

1. Single Average

Sierra and I wanted to see what the average amount of video game time spent per week based on gender. We are both avid video gamers but play on different consoles and different types of games. We made a survey asking gender, how many average hours played during the week, what type of console, and during what time during the day does one play. I asked my Diablo clan, it has about 500 active people, and 163 people responded.

Two Independent Averages

I want to collect data on my dogs. I want to see if I walk my dogs for 45 minutes (3.5-4miles) or take my dogs to a dog park to play for 45 minutes, which would tire my dogs out faster. I would walk my dogs every day at the same time for 45 minutes for 1 week. I would then take my dogs to a dog park at the same time of day I would be walking them for 45 minutes. I would then time how long it takes my dogs to lay down and fall asleep.

Paired Comparison

I would want to collect data on how sleepy I get and how much sleep I get when working out before bed. I would track when I get sleepy and how many hours of sleep for 1-2 weeks with not working out at night. Then, I would work out at the same time in the evening for 1-2 weeks and track how long after the workout, I got sleepy and then, on average how many hours of sleep. I would try and make my routine the same for the days I wasn't working out and keep workouts the same consistency of activities on the days I do.
