Last updated 2015-11-03

Data “Description”
Note: This data was simulated using random number generation. Certain effects were built into the simulated data in
order to create useful example cases. While care has been taken to make the data “look” real, it does NOT represent an
actual study, and should not be used for any purpose outside of learning to use statistical software.

This dataset contains survey results from 435 students enrolled at a university in the United States. The survey was
conducted during the Spring 2014 semester.
