Your dataset must be sufficiently large (a minimum of 2000 records), must be realistic (and fit the case study, of course), and must return all of the required results for all of the analyses you are going to do in class that semester. It ain't as easy as you might think, by the way. If you really want to have fun, try creating a dataset for a course case study.

I plan on preparing an answers guide after the book is finished. I’m still adding homework.

Thank you. I'd really like to have the answers to the homework questions, please. Do you intend to answer them? I hope so because I have no feeling for whether my answers are right or wrong; which is sort of discouraging for someone tackling an introductory text. William:

We do need to manage the data properly before we run any statistical analysis. Yes, this is an important chapter. We do need to manage the data properly before we run any statistical analysis.
