(Now for the fun one…) If you won an all expense paid trip, where would you go, what would you do there, and with whom would you go?
Design one survey question that your fellow classmates in this class could comfortably answer online. Your question could even require that your classmates calculate something from their lives from observation (e.g. counting the shoes in their closet) or that they have to do something (e.g. an experiment such as how many situps can you complete or how long does it take a cup of water to boil). For our purposes later this semester, design the question so that the responses are numerical (not yes/no type questions). Here are some examples: How many doors are in your residence? What is your height in inches?How many pets do you have in your household? How many years have you been working at your current job? Do not use the above questions. Try to select interesting survey questions as we will be working with these questions throughout the course. ) Do not use a survey question that somebody else in the class has already posted.
After the question, include what you think the average (mean) of the responses of your classmates will be. Give an exact value like 4 or 10.5, but do not give a range. This guess will be used in a discussion later in the course.
Now, copy the survey question that you have written for step 4 into the discussion labeled Survey Discussion. (Your survey question should now be in two places: (1) In the response to discussion 0 and (2) Survey Discussion.)
