investors trying to decide what to invest in and whether the instrument is likely to

1. Private (ex. Publix, Johnson & Johnson)

   services. Questions to ask
3. What is the question I want to answer about your organization?
   b. What is your business case?
   c. Is there a need? How do you know—data?
   d. Are you using sampling—market survey, market studies, market
   experiments
4. After you come up with a financial hypothesis, you need to collect a sample of
   data to be analyzed. Use the Barry Library link below to find information.
   Depending on the question you’re seeking to answer or investigating, you might
   collect samples through
5. Market Surveys
   b. Market observational studies, or
