Many people dream of retiring throughout their working career. The thoughts of sitting on a beach and reading a book while sipping a Mai Tai would make anyone waiting for that last day “drool with envy”.

The student will be asked to draw conclusions based upon their findings.
An answer guide will be provided so you the teacher as well as the student can examine the accuracy of the work.
The teacher should also download the FREE “The Basics of Data Analysis” manual and have a discussion prior to beginning this activity. The download can be found at:
