Hi everyone. I am doing a regression project in my statistics course and was hoping for lots of help from you all in collecting data!

The question I am trying to answer through this project is, "Is there a relationship between somebody's age and how many times they visit amusement parks each year?"

Now is the exciting part where you come in! I need both your age and a decent approximation of how many times you visit any parks each year. (ex. 2 trips to SFOG, 5 to Carowinds and 1 to Tweetsie Railroad would constitute as 8 trips for a year).

I need at least 50 pairs of data for the project. For the sake of more accurate data, I will also be collecting from non-enthusiasts via Facebook, asking people at school etc...

Thanks in advance for your help! I really appreciate your input and am looking forward to seeing the results of this!

33 and last time I went to a park, I'd say, 23 times.

Over the years we haven't had the money for a park trip, but now it's different.
Age: 19
Trips this year: 4

If you are doing a regression analysis on this then getting responses from an amusement park forum is most definitely not a random sampling.

29 and at least 10.

I'm 43, and have made at least 25 visits to amusement parks in the last year.

But Jonathan is right...we're not a random sampling.

I'm 13, and I guess 7 parks if you count Disney as 4 parks. 4 if not.

you're 43?? I thought you were in your 30's!

I am 27 and been to an amusement park twice this year.

^^Thanks! That's one of my two favorite things to hear. (The other is "You're right." Lol)

[PatrickMcPherson]

I am 17, and I've made 4 park visits as a 17 year old.

31, 4

Thanks everyone, but I ran into some issues with this so I had to find other data (I ended up doing local housing price vs. square footage). On top of Jonathan's observation about random sampling, I ran into other issues (the majority of people, no matter their age, only visited once or twice a year.) This didn't even come close to showing any correlation. My housing data on the other hand came out beautifully. Thanks again everyone for your input!
