Hi, I hope this solution gets to you in time. I thought about the best way to answer this solution and to me, it meant really coming up with a design. It is well and good to make assumptions but to answer this question, we really have to have some kind of research structure. So what should we do? Let's recall what you need to do:

(a) The new sample
(b) The research questions and hypothesis
(c) The independent and dependent variables and
(d) Extraneous or control variable

Then you need to answer these questions:

What is the sampling technique and the process used to prepare the dataset. What challenges were faced in preparing the new dataset? Would you consider the sampling technique reliable and valid? What statistical technique can be used to answer the research question.

It seems straightforward then - answer all these questions in this particular stage of your assignment. That is what we do below plus extra information. Just let me know if you need extra help on this.

Sincerely,
