From 13cc9301f9e0f2dbfb903ce91d091628b5c837e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mbhatti4 Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2025 19:42:01 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] I wrote out my proposal for the project. I had a hard time starting. I do not find this class too challenging but I get very nerovus for projects and end up delaying them till I cant. Once i start, I realize its not that difficult and I have enough information to begin on my own. I was able to look through my data and find some researhc questions I want to ask. I look forward to begining the project! --- proposal.md | 46 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 38 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/proposal.md b/proposal.md index 2586c0c..e34b3af 100644 --- a/proposal.md +++ b/proposal.md @@ -1,39 +1,69 @@ # Project proposal -This planning document will also form the introduction of your -argument. +This planning document will also form the introduction of your argument. -## Overarching Question +## Overaching question + +Which lifestyle factors most strongly influence sleep quality? ### 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.* +Which lifestyle factors most strongly influence sleep quality? I want to see if the self reported factors (such as occupation or physical activity) influence sleep more, or if it is more so things that the person doesn't have control over, such as stress level or BMI. Although the rating for stress is subjective, I think I can compare all the different reports to see how heavily they affect sleep. I am interested in this because I have some sleep issues, and want to know what could be a cause of it, from this specefic data set. It will of course not be concrete and will differ with different data set, but It will help me understand. ### What specific research questions will you investigate? *List 2-4 specific research questions. Each should be answerable using your data set.* +Who has more effect on sleep duration: stress and blood pressure or physical activity? +Which occupation gets the most sleep? least? +Does BMI effect the quality of sleep? duration of sleep? +Which combination of age, gender and occupation gets the best qualtiy of sleep? + ## Data source ### What data set will you use to answer your overarching question? -*Give the title of your data set and provide a link to your data.* +Sleep Health and Lifestyle Dataset +https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/uom190346a/sleep-health-and-lifestyle-dataset ### Where is this data from? -*Describe the source of the data set--not just where you downloaded it, but -the person or organization who gathered the data.

Explain why you trust them.* + +I am using Kaggle to get the data set. I trust this because it was a reccomendation from the proffesor. I also looked up review at how legit kaggle is, and i was shown mostly postive sites that stated it is a good site to use as it is well regarded with data scientists. +Due to this, I feel comfortable using the data that is provided on this site to use for my project. ### What is this data about? *Describe the nature of the data in the dataset, including the number of rows and some of the columns which will be important to you.* +There are 374 rows of data, and and 9 columns with information. The qualtiy of sleep, duration, occupation, and BMI columns will be most important to me. Overall, all of it will help me answer my questions. + + ## 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).* + +Who has more effect on sleep duration: stress and blood pressure or physical activity? + +I will find the average hours of sleep for each of hte cetagories.

I will have to find the best qualtiy of sleep for each caterogry. I will then have to find a way to visually look at this data and find some intersection that could show me the best age, gender and occouaption. +If this ends up being too difficult, I will switch it to just age and gender to make it easier. \ No newline at end of file
