Introduction: In statistics you must understand the purpose of the research and the greater impact this research has on specific populations. When we read an article, we are reading with a purpose. What that means is that we are looking for key attributes that stand out. This assignment has two parts.
Part 1: To introduce to you how to read with purpose, please read “The House”.
A. Choose to be one of the following: a burglar, a realtor, or a landscaper. Read the following passage as if you were that person and underline key words that stick out to you.
B. Do it again, that is, read “The House” again…but choose to be a different person than you chose in Part 1:A and choose from one of the following: a burglar, a realtor, or a landscaper. Read the following passage as if you were that person and underline key words that stick out to you (I recommend to use a different color to highlight or underline the words that stick out to you).
