You will need to select a relevant topic that will allow you to gather both qualitative and quantitative data. You may gather data from a group of your choice using a data collection instrument (survey or data mining) that you design. Using the results of that collection instrument, you will develop a data set, analyze the data, and develop a professional report showing the results of the data that you collected.

Decide on a topic and develop a data collection instrument. When selecting a topic, remember you need to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. Data collection could be done in the form of a survey via a medium such as Survey Monkey or Facebook or through available workplace content such as sales orders. You will want to collect data from approximately 30 observations. This means you will want to survey at least 30 people or select data from 30 different sales orders.

Develop the topic of the study, a rationale (one or two paragraphs) outlining the purpose of the study, and the data collection instrument in a Word document.Include relevant survey links if the data is being collected digitally.
