LESS THAN 200 DAYS

until we walk at graduation

How many of us know what were

doing after that ?

What was our goal?

Our purpose was to survey students
to determine if they wanted to go to
college, and if they did, why and
where they wanted to go.

How did we do this?

CREATE A SURVEY
we chose the topic of colleges, and wanted to find out a general layout of the plans of our
classmates

COLLECT DATA

we first started with peers within the school (stratified sampling), then
expanded to social media

ANALYZE RESULTS

using our 32 responses collected, we organized the data into a purposeful

representation

WHO DID WE SAMPLE?

Although we used stratified

sampling open to both males
and females, but we received
a majority of females

Our survey showed that 100%

of peoples answers indicated
they had no interest in
enlisting in the military, which
may be related to the
overwhelming majority of
females

that they did want to go to a college or
technical school after graduation

THERE IS NO CORRELATION AMONG SIBLINGS,

PREFERRED SIZE, AND LOCATION OF COLLEGE

While there was not a wide variety of

answers from students, there was no
predictable trend between the number of
siblings in college, the size of a college
desired, or an in-state/out-of-state
education
