Reflective Writing
The process my classmates and I went through to accomplish the requirements for this assignment was not excessively strenuous or challenging by any means. We had this intention from the very beginning. We chose variables that would aid help us in our data collection, which was entirely made up of asking random people we came in contact with. We found that many people already had the information we were looking for on the top of our head and this eliminated most challenges we would have had to face otherwise.
However, we still had some minor challenges such as: What we defined a “video game console” as and if we made the mistake of asking multiple people from the same household. We clarified the housing issue with the person we asked and defined video game consoles as any console excluding handhelds. After clarifying these things, our data collection went very well.
This project did have an effect on my understanding of statistics. It was very interesting to learn that even if you randomly choose variables, there may still be a small correlation between them. There are a lot of interesting connections in life and statistics is a mathematical approach to understanding them. I enjoy that. Also, this project gave me a small insight as to what researchers and statisticians go through. It gives me an appreciation for the work they do and the information they try to bring to light.
