Your Task Think of an area that interests you: sports, arts, entertainment, international relief efforts, government, careers, or the weather.

Think of a question you would like to answer. Is it better to wait until the battery is low before you recharge your smartphone? How does a streaming service like Netflix or Hulu decide which shows to offer?

Look for a website where someone already collected a large quantity of data to answer that question. While commercial big data sets may have tens of thousands of values, for this project, look for a data set with at least 100 values.

You are not going to write a program to analyze these data because you have not yet covered how to read data files. You can describe how the researcher(s) who collected the data used them to answer your question.
