Student learning objectives

• The student will design and carry out a survey.
• The student will analyze and graphically display the results of the survey.

Instructions

____ Decide what data you are going to study.

Here are two examples, but you may NOT use them: number of M&M's per bag, number of pencils students have in their backpacks.

____ Are your data discrete or continuous? How do you know?
____ Decide how you are going to collect the data (for instance, buy 30 bags of M&M's; collect data from the World Wide Web).
____ Describe your sampling technique in detail. Use cluster, stratified, systematic, or simple random (using a random number generator) sampling. Do not use convenience sampling. Which method did you use? Why did you pick that method?
____ Conduct your survey. Your data size must be at least 30.
____ Summarize your data in a chart with columns showing data value, frequency, relative frequency and cumulative relative frequency.
Answer the following (rounded to two decimal places):
1. $\overline{x}$ = _____
2. s = _____
3. First quartile = _____
4. Median = _____
5. 70 th percentile = _____
____ What value is two standard deviations above the mean?

____ What value is 1.5 standard deviations below the mean?
____ Construct a histogram displaying your data.
____ In complete sentences, describe the shape of your graph.
____ Do you notice any potential outliers? If so, what values are they? Show your work in how you used the potential outlier formula to determine whether or not the values might be outliers.
____ Construct a box plot displaying your data.
____ Does the middle 50% of the data appear to be concentrated together or spread apart? Explain how you determined this.
____ Looking at both the histogram and the box plot, discuss the distribution of your data.

Assignment checklist

You need to turn in the following typed and stapled packet, with pages in the following order:

• Cover sheet : name, class time, and name of your study
• Summary page : This should contain paragraphs written with complete sentences. It should include answers to all the questions above. It should also include statements describing the population under study, the sample, a parameter or parameters being studied, and the statistic or statistics produced.
• URL for data, if your data are from the World Wide Web
• Chart of data, frequency, relative frequency, and cumulative relative frequency
• Page(s) of graphs: histogram and box plot

Student learning objectives

• The student will collect a sample of continuous data.
• The student will attempt to fit the data sample to various distribution models.
• The student will validate the central limit theorem.

Part i: sampling

____ Decide what continuous data you are going to study. (Here are two examples, but you may NOT use them: the amount of money a student spent on college supplies this term, or the length of time distance telephone call lasts.)
____ Describe your sampling technique in detail. Use cluster, stratified, systematic, or simple random (using a random number generator) sampling. Do not use convenience sampling. What method did you use? Why did you pick that method?
____ Conduct your survey. Gather at least 150 pieces of continuous, quantitative data .
____ Define (in words) the random variable for your data. X = _______
____ Create two lists of your data: (1) unordered data, (2) in order of smallest to largest.
____ Find the sample mean and the sample standard deviation (rounded to two decimal places).

1. $\overline{x}$ = ______
2. s = ______
____ Construct a histogram of your data containing five to ten intervals of equal width. The histogram should be a representative display of your data. Label and scale it.

what percent of the students would be expected to score above 95?

surpose a data set of 2,3,5,6,1,4 are given find median
lucy
Mean (average) 4... Median (middle term) 3.5.. Mode (frequency) every element in a set has 1 frequrncy
Akash
i arrange the data set in ascending order. that is, 1,2,3,4,5,6. then find the data set that falls in the middle. in this case, 3 & 4 fall in the middle. you then sum and obtain the average. that is, (3+4)/2=3.5. therefore, 3.5 is the median.
Gbenga
both of you are correct.

Simonsakala
It is a square chi
Nelson
But can't be a binomial because, the x numbers are 0 to 6, instead those would be "0" or "1" in a straight way
Nelson
You can do a chi-square test, but the assumption has to be a normal distribution, and the last f's number need to be "64"
Nelson
sorry the last f's numbers : "6 and 4" which are the observed values for 5 and 6 (expected values)
Nelson
hi
rajendra
can't understand basic of statistics ..
rajendra
Sorry I see my mistake, we have to calculate the expected values
Nelson
So we need this equation: P= (X=x)=(n to x) p^x(1-p)^n-x
Nelson
why it is not possible brother
ibrar
were n= 2 ( binomial) x= number of makes (0 to 6) and p= probability, could be 0.8.
Nelson
so after we calculate the expected values for each observed value (f) we do the chi-square. x^2=summatory(observed-expected)^2 / expected and compare with x^2 in table with 0.8
Nelson
tomorrow I'll post the answer, I'm so tired today, sorry for my mistake in the first messages.
Nelson
It is possible, sorry for my mistake

two trader shared investment and buoght Cattle.Mr.Omer bought 255 cows & rented the farm for a period of 32 days. Mr. Ahmed grazed his Cattle for 25 days. Mr. Ahmed's cattle was 180 cows.Together they profited $7800. the rent of the farm is$ 3000 so divide the profit per gows/day for grazing day

how to start this book, who is reading thins first time
It is my first time reading this book
Good one
ihsan
from were did you get 2/50?m
People living longer
Why do you think that is?
Jazzy
because there is an increase in number of people with age more than 30.
Ok. And what do you think is the driving factor behind that hypothesis?
Jazzy
fewer birth and increase in # of years living or fewer dying
What about the improvement of technology and medicine?
Jazzy
godwin
technology and medicine is improving but they are limited
Ayunku
If those conscience of their health, one will live longer periods of life.

hi,why the mean =sum(xi)/n but the variance =sum(xi-xbar)/ n-1 what is the difference between (n or n-1)
This is hard to type, so I'll use "m" for "x bar", and a few other notations that I hope will be clear: Definition: sqrt(SUM[(x - m)^2] / (n-1)) where m = SUM[x] / n Desired formula: sqrt((SUM[x^2] - SUM[x]^2)/n / (n-1)) Now let's do what you started to do, and see if we can manipulate the definitio
Michael
what is the difference between (n ) and (n-1) in the mean and variance
Soran
Definition: sqrt(SUM[(x - m)^2] / (n-1)) where m = SUM[x] / n what is the difference between (n and n-1)
Soran
Hi, the diference is tha when we estimate parameters in a sample (not in the total population) we need to consider the degrees of liberty for the estimation.

Hie guys, am analysing rainfall data for different stations and i got kurtosis values of 0.7 for one station and 0.4 for another, what can i say about this?
