Experimental Research:
Assume you are the CEO of a startup that wants to use digital IoT sensors to fight pollution. Your startup sells IoT sensors that send data about the CO2 level in the air to national agencies. Additionally, your startup offers advisory services. You have been hired by a national agency in your country to help it understand possible ways to measure and combat air pollution. The agency has bought your sensors to measure the impact of setting different driving speed limits on the air CO2 levels. The rationale is that limiting the speed limit for cars will reduce the measured CO2 in the air. The agency asks you how you would design an experiment to learn if reducing the driving speed limit reduced the CO2 in the air? Make sure that you follow the Guidelines for Designing an Experiment in your description. With which challenges might you be confronted when running such an experiment? Include a 2 page report.
Guidelines for Designing an Experiment:
-
Problem statement
-
Selection of response variables
-
Choice of factors, levels, ranges
-
Choice of experimental design
-
Statistical analysis of data
-
Conclusions, recommendations
