Question: Conduct your own simple observational study as follows:

1. Come up with a research question. For the purposes of this assignment, keep it simple! For example, you could ask, "Are large dog breeds or small dog breeds more popular than small dogs in Dallas, Texas ?" or "Are students more likely to wear shorts or long pants on campus in April?"

2. Outline your data collection strategy. Include location, date, time, duration of collection, and how you recorded your data. For example: "I sat on front campus near the rock on Wed 26 April from 2-3pm. Using my iPhone to record information."

3. Report your results. Be sure to include your n-value. For example: "I observed 15 students walk past. Five were wearing shorts and 10 wore pants."

4. Report any study limitations. What factors could be present that would make your data collection or conclusions inaccurate? For example: "The weather probably confounded my findings because it was colder than usual the day of my observations."
