Every data analysis has a beginning, middle, and end, often resulting in a final report to a client, supervisor, or class instructor. The humble beginning is no less important than the final deliverable. In the context of data analysis, this stage includes looking at the dataset, beginning exploratory data analysis, and creating data questions you intend to answer. In this discussion assignment, you will start at the beginning and share your initial ideas about the dataset you have selected for your independent data analysis.

Prompt

1. Describe and link to the dataset you selected for your Module 4 project. Describe three data questions you hope to answer with this dataset. What approaches will you take? What visualizations might you produce?
2. In two response posts, meaningfully engage with two of your peers' initial posts by doing the following:
   1. Query their questions: What else could you ask of their dataset?
   2. Brainstorm blindspots: What challenges might their dataset pose?
