Details

Students answered 50 questions to generate data for a project in an introductory statistics class at the University of Tennessee in the Fall of 2010. The data here represent a selection of the questions. The responses have been somewhat cleaned (unlike SURVEY09) where obviously bogus responses have been omitted, but there may still be issue.

The selected questions were:

Gender Gender [Male, Female] Height Your height (in inches) [48 to 96] Weight Your weight (in pounds) [0 to 500] DesiredWeight What is your desired weight (in pounds)? [0 to 1000] GPA Thus far, what is your GPA (look up on CPO if you need to)? [0 to 4] TxtPerDay How many text messages do you typically send on any given day? Type 0 if you never send text messages.
