b.  Then develop a table that shows the differences  between  the  methods  of data  collection  and  then  write  another  paragraph  to  critically  evaluate  the differences before arriving at a conclusion, which discusses and provides  a reason for the BEST way to collect the data in the scenario.
c. Once you have selected a better way of collecting the data (and justified your choice).  Write about two pages to explain the differences (between the method in the scenario and the method you have selected as being best). The differences should include; data collection procedures, differences in sampling methods, differences in data analysis techniques, differences in research output, outcomes and ways of addressing the BRO.

    Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
