 Data Collection

We collected some data from most of you, and it's here in a tab-delimited file. To view it, start of Fathom and, while connected to the internet, select "File --> Import from URL" and type

http://inspire.stat.ucla.edu/unit_01/classdata.txt

into the dialog box.

There are a variety of quantitative and qualitative variables for you to explore. Your goal is to describe your class to an outside who wonders "Just who are these INSPIRE people anyways?"
