Document Content and Description Below

University of Maryland University College STAT200 - Assignment 1: Descriptive Statistics Data Analysis Plan Identifying Information Student (Full Name): Class: STAT 200 Instructor: Date: ... Scenario: Please write a few lines describing your scenario and the four variables (in addition to income) you have selected. I am a 35 year old, married man with two children. My income is $50,000 per year. In addition to income, four variables include: SE-Marital status, SE-Family size, USD-Food, and USD-Meat. Use Table 1 to report the variables selected for this assignment. Note: The information for the required variable, “Income,” has already been completed and can be used as a guide for completing information on the remaining variables. Table 1. Variables Selected for the Analysis Variable Name in the Data Set Description (See the data dictionary for describing the variables.) Type of Variable (Qualitative or Quantitative) Variable 1: Income Annual household income in USD. Quantitative Variable 2: Marital Status Marital status of Head of Household Qualitative Variable 3: Family Size Total number of people in family. Quantitative Variable 4: Food Total amount of annual expenditures on food. Quantitative Variable 5: Meat Total amount of annual expenditures on meat. Quantitative Reason(s) for Selecting the Variables and Expected Outcome(s): 1. Variable 1: “Income” - The income I chose is the average income that an E5 makes in the Navy. I am interested in seeing this type of scenario play out for the “average” military family. 2. Variable 2: “Marital Status“ – I chose this because the majority of active military personnel are married and it seemed to be a realistic variable for the average E5. 3. Variable 3: “Family Size“ - Chosen because most families that I know in the military have at least 2 children. 4. Variable 4: “Food“ - I would assume that a majority of families categorize most of their groceries as food. Considering the largest section of grocery stores are premade, boxed, and canned food and the produce and meat section are smaller. 5. Variable 5: “Meat“ - I chose to use meat because I’ve selected “average” or “common” variables for this assignment, and there is a bigger number of meat eaters than vegetarians. [Show More]
