Discussion - Formulating Research Questions
In a research project, the researcher normally has a research question in mind and then develops a research methodology that includes such things as determining the type of data that will be needed to address the question, how the data will be collected, and how the data will be analyzed. Due to time constraints, you will take a different approach to developing a research question. You will be given data that has already been collected and asked to develop a possible research question from the data.
For this discussion, open the StatCrunch file Housing_Prices_Categorical_Factors.
Look at the description of the variables in the file and the variables themselves and develop a "research question" that might be interesting to explore using this data set. Some examples are:
- Is there a difference in average selling price based on whether the house is on the waterfront or not?
- Do new houses sell for more than old houses? NOTE: For something like this, you would have to define what you mean by new and old.
Develop your own research question and post it in the discussion. Don't use one of the questions above and don't use one someone else has already posted. Instead, try to find something that might be interesting to you. In addition to posting your question, also tell what method or methods you would use to answer your question (of those studied so far).
