 ## Overarching Question

 ### What central question are you interested in exploring? Why are you interested in exploring this question?
 
-*This should be the big picture question that you ask; use at least 5
-sentences to describe why you are interested in it.*
+Friday the 13th is always seen as an unlucky day. Many parents may be hesitant to
+schedule a C-section or induction on this date due to the superstition of it. 
+I was born on Friday the 13th and it has always been an interesting fact about myself.
+I never thought about the fact that this may be an uncommon birth date until I came across 
+this data set on fivethirtyeight
 
 ### What specific research questions will you investigate?
 
-*List 2-4 specific research questions. Each should be answerable 
-using your data set.*
+How does the 13th of the month impact birth rates?
+How does the date of Friday the 13th impact birth rates?

+
 ### What data set will you use to answer your overarching question?

-and some of the columns which will be important to you.*
+There are 5480 rows of the data. The columns that will be important to me are 
+date_of_the_month, day_of_the_week, and births.
 
 ## Methods 
 
 ### How will you use your data set to answer your quantitative questions?
 
-*For each research question, explain what you will do with the data set 
-to answer the question, and how you will present your answer (e.g. a chart or a table).*
+First I will compare the average of the 13th of each month to each other day of the month.
+I will show this in a graph.
+Then I will compare the day of the week that falls on the 13th with each other. I will
+show this on a graph as well.
