UNIT 7 STATISTICS PROJECT Instructions

Over  the  following  week  you  will  complete  a  statistics  project.  Each  day  you  will  complete  another  section.  On  the  final  day,  you  will  compile  all  the  data  collected  and  analyzed  onto  a  poster  board.          Task  1    You  will  select  a  topic  from  the  list  of  available  project  ideas.  Each  student  in  your  class  will  have  a  different  project.  You  will  then  use  that  topic  to  write  a  survey  question  that  can  be  asked  in  your  sample  to  get  the  results  necessary  to  complete  the  tasks  of  this  project.  Create  a  tally  sheet  that  indicates  your  question  and  a  column  showing  the  results  of  each  person  in  your  sample.  Your  sample  size  must  be  a  minimum  of  50  people,  and  your  tally  sheet  must  include  labels  and  units.  You  will  begin  collecting  data  from  your  present  math  class.    All  data  should  be  collected  by  the  time  your  class  meets  again  on  “Day  2.”      Task  2      Part  A  –  You  will  tabulate  (organize  using  a  table)  your  data  results  from  your  sample  of  50  or  more.      Part  B  –  These  results  should  then  be  presented  in  a  stem  and  left  plot.  An  example  is  given  below.            

Rewrite  by  putting  the  data  in  order

Part  C  –  Using  the  stem  and  leaf  plot  data  and  your  sample  data  results,  you  will  find  the  statistical  distribution.  Follow  the  sample  below.  In  addition,  include  the  range  and  any  outliers  (if  any).      

Range            Find  the  difference  between  the  maximum  and  minimum  of  the  data.  

                         Outlier              Find  the  data  point  that  is  clearly  separated  from  the  rest  of  the  data.   Task  3         Poster board should be brought to school.        Create  a  circle/pie  graph  of  your  results  with  appropriate  colors  and  labels/units.  Use  proper  headings  and  number  formats.  An  example  is  given  below.

Task  4  

 Part  A  –  Create  a  histogram  or  bar  graph.  Use  appropriate  intervals  and  proper  chart  formats  with  headings  and  labels  (including  units).    An  example  is  given  below.

Part  B  –  Create  a  box-­‐and-­‐whisker  plot  of  your  results.  Be  sure  to  include  all  parts  of  the  five-­‐number  summary  and  all  appropriate  labels.  An  example  is  given  below.  

(Median of 1st half of data)

(Median of 2nd half of data)

Task  5    Part  A  –  Write  a  minimum  of  a  five-­‐sentence  summary  of  your  findings.  Use  the  following  questions  to  guide  you  in  writing  this  summary.            

1. What  conclusion  can  you  make  based  on  the  results  you  collected?  2. Do  you  think  there  were  any  variables  (reasons)  that  might  have  made  your  results  what  they  were?  3. Based  on  the  survey/data  sampling  you  collected,  do  you  believe  it  is  a  good  representation  of  the  

students  at  LHS?  4. Based  on  the  survey/data  sampling  you  collected,  which  method(s)  of  representation  best  fits  your  

data  and  why?  5. After  completing  this  assignment/project,  are  there  any  areas  of  statistics  that  are  still  not  clear  to  

you?    Be  as  specific  as  possible.      Part  B  –  Organize  all  components  on  a  poster  board  for  your  final  project  grade.    Your  poster  board  should  include  the  following:  

• The  survey  question  (as  the  title)  • Your  initial  table  with  the  data  results  you  collected  • A  list  of  the  five  statistical  measures  • All  four  charts/graphs  that  were  created  • Your  project  summary
