FINC 615 APUS Week 1 Basic Productivity Applications Exercise Part 2: DATA COLLECTION.

The best way to learn statistics is to do statistics. At one point, most of us have needed to purchase a vehicle. At the very least, it’s fun to look at them! Go to the Kelley Blue Book website (https://www.kbb.com/) or any other vehicle website and choose 10 different vehicles. These can be ones you would consider buying or even your total dream car. Record the following information in a blank Excel file.

Save your Excel, for future forums, and then upload the Excel as an attachment in your intro. forum for review.
