DATA SETS
The Data Sets on the Data Set Tab will be used for the Project Parts and the Semester Project. You will choose one Data Set to work with in Project Part 1 and create your own Systematic Sample. This sample will then be used in the following Project Parts assignments and the Semester Project as listed in those assignments. These Data Sets are only used in creating the Sample needed for those other assignments.
Each Set contains values from various states, male or female, and some other subcategories, just to ensure there were enough values with which to work.
When making your Systematic Sample, you will only work with the set you choose, if you need to start again from the beginning, do so. There is a detailed example and video on the Example Tab to help you create your sample. The first row and column of numbers in the Data Set are to help you keep count when making your sample.

EXAMPLE of collecting the Systematic Sample
To create your Systematic Sample, you will use your Birth Month Number as your starting place in the set you choose, and your Birth Date as your nth value.
For example:
If Quinn was born on June 23rd.
They would use 6 for the value to start on and then pick every 23rd item from there.
If they had chosen the 2015 Average Annual Number Melanoma, mortality Data Set, the first number would be 101 (Column 6, Row 1), then the next value would be the 23rd one after that (Column 5, Row 3), which would be 11.
If Quinn does not get the 35 required but runs out of data, they will ‘wrap around’. So if the last number used was 49 (Column 2, Row 9), the next value to use would be 220 (Column 9, Row 2).
After you collect your sample, you do not need the Data Sets anymore. It is recommended that you download the Template for the Semester Project and enter the needed information as you do the work each week.
Remember to work with just one set of data.

2015 Average Annual Number Cancer of the colon and rectum (colorectal), mortality
2017 Average Annual Number Cancer of the colon and rectum (colorectal), mortality
2013 Average Annual Number Melanoma, mortality
2015 Average Annual Number Melanoma, mortality
2017 Average Annual Number Melanoma, mortality
