Default I'm doing a simple correlational study...I need YOUR help!

INITIAL RESULTS POSTED!!! on page 2.

I just thought it would be insteresting to see some data from the members of this board, and see how it correlates with ETs and MPH. I will probubly need about 100 people to make this information relevant!

What I need from you: (you can PM me if your afraid to publicly show this... )

1. Best Quater mile time.
2. Best Quater mile MPH.
3. High school GPA.
4. How many credit hours of college have you completed?
5. How many hours a week do you spend working on your car?
6. Age?
7. Yearly income.

You don't have to provide me with all of that information, but the more I can get the better.

I will be using this data in the statistical software called Minitab. I will then post up the results once I have enough data.

PS, any reccomendations for data would be appreciated. If you post up what you want to see, I might add it too the list.

Thanks guys!
Bryson

All I meant was that you seem to have gotten pretty far, but your info doesn't suggest that. I never said you were lying.

An outlier is just an extreme data point...

Well, were up too about 17 people. Still not enough people for it to be a very accurate representation of the forum's population, but I can tell you that so far, it seems like income is not a very good predictor of ETs or MPH.
