Overview
Hello please help with Lab Assignment week 5 graphics, distributions, and tables to summarize and interpret data.Professor has attached Excel Spreadsheets and also has provided excel sheet with the heights. I will attach all the instructions and excel she
Download the following documents from the Required Resources.
- Week 3 Excel spreadsheet
- Week 5 Excel spreadsheet
- Week 5 Lab Assignment Template
- Begin with 10 heights provided to you by your instructor. (Please reach out to your instructor by Monday in Week 5 if you have not received the 10 heights.)
- To add 10 more values to your lab data, survey or measure 10 people to find their heights. Add these heights to the Week 5 Lab Template along with the 10 provided by your instructor.
- Determine the mean and standard deviation for the 20 values (your instructor's 10 from Step 1A above plus your 10) by using the Week 3 Excel Spreadsheet.
- Post a screenshot of the portion of the spreadsheet that helped you determine these values.
- How does your height compare to the mean (average) height of the 20 values? Is your height taller, shorter, or the same as the mean of the sample?
- How did you choose the participants for your study? What was the sampling method: systematic, convenience, cluster, stratified, simple random?
- What part of the country did your study take place in?
- What are the age ranges of your participants?
- How many of each gender did you have in your study?
- What are other interesting factors about your group? Use the Week 5 Excel Spreadsheet for the following:
- Use the Empirical Rule tab from the spreadsheet. Then, determine the 68%, 95%, and 99.7% values of the Empirical Rule in terms of the 20 heights in your height study.
- Post a screenshot of your work from the Week 5 Excel spreadsheet.
- What do these values tell you?
- Post another screenshot of your work from the Normal Probability tab from the Week 5 Excel spreadsheet.
- Based on your study results, what percent of the study participants are shorter than you? What percent are taller than you? (Example: If my height is 73 inches, then 20.86% of the relevant population is shorter. The other 79.14%, of course, is taller).
