This information is of a simulated proximity survey administered at Macon State College during the Fall 2004 semester. The data was gathered from a class of fourteen students and the data was replicated eight times for a total of 112 samples. To validate this survey we based the questions of race, ethnicity and age on the Macon State College characteristics from the Fall 2003 semester.

There is a noticeable discrepancy between figures of age distribution. The sample of students that the survey was based on was taken from a night class. Due to the fact that evening classes are typically populated by students of higher age, we expected this discrepancy. For this simulated survey, we felt that the difference between the was percentages was within acceptable limits to complete our research.
