In this assignment, you will need to first come up with your own question. E.g. I wanted to start a new logistics business servicing only Veterans in North Carolina. Where are my customers? Will there be enough demand so that my business will succeed? Your question can be a real problem that you face in your organization, or your personal life.
The second step is to find data that can potentially help you address your question. You can use publicly available sources such as https://www.data.gov/, or private data source that you have access to. Then describe what data you found by listing all the variables in the data source. E.g. I found data from Data.gov and the link to the file is https://www.va.gov/vetdata/docs/SpecialReports/State_Summaries_North_Carolina.pdf.
This file contains the number of veterans in different parts of North Carolina in a map format. Also it provides demographic information about veterans. Additionally, it summarizes the expenditures and benefits for veterans in North Carolina. This data can potentially help me to find where my customers are.
