Give me ideas on two related “real world” variables?

I’m stumped as to what I can use. The assignment is use two real world variables and form a hypothesis concerning their relationship. Test the Hypothesis by gathering data..make a scatter plot..calculate correlation coefficient..find line of regression, that sort of thing.

The examples in the book are something like “matt and his gpa with amount of rainfall”

But I cant seem to think of anything to relate with that would work. Please help?

Supply and demand and prices in general…. you could choose to do it for just gas… or if you just want to state your hypothesis and show scatter plots and stuff showing that it happens with cars, eggs, milk, blah… if you want to do it for just cars… (or whatever you choose) you can do plots of different years, months….

Well… as for the example in the book…. I was just thinking that the Hypothesis that could be used is….

Matt and His GPA is better when the amount of rainfall is the most because he studies more because he has to stay indoors…. as opposed to when it’s nice out and he is out playing or doing recreational things… devoting less time to studies…

For prices…. when supply is high and demand is low… gas prices (or just prices of ANYTHING in general) are low… so that people will buy more… When supply is low and demand is high (as in the case of gas prices and milk or eggs), price sky rocket. Before I could get a gallon of milk for $2.50…. Now I pay $4.50…. it has to do with the effects of farming corn.

Anyways, hope this helps since no one else answered… but it’s the first one that popped into my head.

How about the amount of time watching TV or online VS GPA?
