Survey Sample

I'm not exactly sure how data-collection works- as I understand it we're expected to collect data on our own. This already violates a significant principle in surveying- random sampling, and this is just an entry level stats course and for most of us our first conducted survey. I don't see a problem with recognizing geographical limitations such as focusing ourselves on the Lower Mainland.

@Min, I don't think sticking to UBC students is a bad thing. If you wanted to study specifically how say, international student or new immigrant student's wealth correlates with their family's wealth etc. then using UBC students would be a very good way to accomplish such a thing. We could also expand it to include SFU students, Langara etc. However, no suggestions have yet been made to focus on students, so this is largely irrelevant.. but it all depends on exactly what we're trying to look at!
