What is the question What is the average person’s social media usage? you will address with your project2? What claims do you hope to support with the data you collect? Be sure to write your claims as declaratives statements (i.e., not questions).

Cell phones are the way that social media is accessed the most often. The top 3 popular apps of Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram are our main topics. Snapchat is the most used app between males and females between the age of 18 and 30. Facebook is the most used between males and females aged 30 and up. And Instagram is mostly used by those under the age of 18

At least two sources of data are required for the project. What is the first source of data you will use? From where? Be as specific as possible in describing both the source and the actual data.

For the first source, a Qualtrics survey will be constructed and will be widely distributed evenly among group members to attempt to reach a diverse group of people in order to see and analyze the difference in different demographics.

What is the second source of data you will use? From where? Again, be as specific as possible in describing both the source and the actual data.

Scholarly articles on the social media usage throughout the recent years. Google scholar will most likely be used or from another reliable database

If either of your data sources is a survey,

A wide range of people in order to observe different social media usages

1 Two to three students are permitted per group. All group members must be in the same class section. 2 All topics must follow the Duquesne University Student Handbook, which is available at https://www.duq.edu/life-at-duquesne/student-services/student-conduct/student-handbook.

to whom do you plan to distribute your survey to? Do you plan to source any other data for your project?
