Senior Class of 2008 College Choice
      

The Study 

In our study, our population of interest is the senior class at North Olmsted High School. We are interested in studying the college choice of the North Olmsted High School Seniors of 2008. We sampled fifty senior students. To obtain these students for our sample we had a list of every North Olmsted Senior student enrolled in the high school and using Minitab, randomly selected fifty. We looked up their schedules and sent our surveys to their study hall or first available class. We placed all the surveys in the teacher’s mailboxes for them to distribute to the students.
