This assignment requires you to measure something with interval or ratio scale. This does not need to be difficult: Do not come up with a full blown experiment. Examples: Outcome of 12 dice rolls, Points scored by NFL home teams this season, number of minutes spent on a particular phone app over each of the last 12 days, Number of "juggles" you can complete with three apples twelve times, 12 scores on your favorite video game, etc. Do not overthink this and turn in a full blown experiment. There should not be an independent variable. You are encouraged to use the Descriptive Statistics Tool found in the Excel Templates to assist in your computing. You must collect a minimum sample size of 12.
Construct, operational definition, collecting and reporting data
A) Construct (10 points)
Remember, a construct is an internal trait or attribute that cannot be directly observed or measured.
B) Operational Definition (15 points)
Your operational definition explains a procedure for measuring something that you choose to believe is sensitive to, or indirectly indexes, your construct of interest. It must be comprehensive enough to be carried out by someone other than you. Think of the operational definition as the bridge between your construct (what you are really interested in) and your dependent variable (what you actually measure).
C) Data Collection (10 points)
Report the twelve values you obtain here.
D) Descriptive Statistics (15 points)
For your sample dataset, report the mean, median, n, sample variance, and s
