Question 488988: Your specific assignment for this week is to select a type of quantitative data to collect from your own life. Some examples of data to collect could be:
The number of people you see at your work place each half day.
The number of phone calls you get in each morning and in each afternoon.
Any other numeric type of data that are relevant to you and that typically vary between the earlier part of the day and the later part of the day.
Please divide the day into two parts: AM and PM and get the data on one of these items for each part.
In a brief paper, describe the data you are going to collect. Collect data starting today so you can have at least 20 observations (two for each day), preferably more.

"quantitative data to collect" is a wordy way to say "count", although it could also include fractions. Stick to "count".
E.g., you could count the times "I can't understand clearly" when you hear or read something. Not a great choice.
Or count the number of times you hear "whatever".
Just pick something that can be counted.
Each day start the AM count from 0. At noon, freeze that count and start the PM count at 0. This will give you 2 counts (data points) every day, for 10 days it appears.
