For the final project you will determine whether there is sufficient evidence of difference between two variables. For part 1, you will develop a research question and select bivariate data for analysis. Your research question and data selection must be approved by the instructor.

1. Research question:

To develop your research question, consider things that you are interested in or wondering about that may be answered with bivariate (two sets of) data.
