Progress Check
Use this activity to assess whether you and your peers can:
- Use the appropriate variables to analyze the data set and answer the questions we are investigating.
- Use the appropriate visual display (graph) to summarize the data set.
- Use the appropriate numerical summaries (measures of center and spread) to analyze the data set.
- Use appropriate statistical vocabulary to analyze the data and answer the questions we are investigating.
Directions
Use the drop-down menu to learn about the three steps needed to complete this assignment.
Three steps to complete the assignmentContext
A university conducted a student survey, collecting data from a random sample of 236 undergraduate students.
The data for this lab is a subset of the real data collected by the university. Some students did not answer all of the questions in the survey. We use the symbol * in the spreadsheet to indicate missing data.
Variables
- Gender Male or Female
- Alcohol Number of alcoholic beverages consumed in a typical week
- Height Self-reported height (in inches)
- Cheat Would you tell the instructor if you saw somebody cheating on an exam? (0=No, 1=Yes)
Data
If you have not already done so, open the college_drinking datafile in the Stats at Cuyamaca College group on StatCrunch (directions - opens in a new tab).
Note - the college_drinking datafile is different from the drinks datafile.
Prompt
Respond to each of the following after you open the drinking data file (see the Data section above).
- Describe the distribution of weekly alcohol consumption using concepts from Unit 3.
- Make an appropriate graph and provide appropriate numerical summaries. To recall how to create these items, see the StatCrunch directions provided below.
- Describe the shape, center, and spread using numerical measures that best describe the distribution.
- In your description, include an interval of typical values and a discussion of variability.
- Embed your StatCrunch graph in the textbox, and as always, include the Alt Text. To recall how to embed StatCrunch output, see the directions provided below.
- Copy the StatCrunch table with the appropriate numerical summaries and paste it into the textbox. To recall how to copy and paste a StatCrunch table, see the directions provided below.
- Do the data suggest that drinking is a problem in this university?
- Use the data to support your answer.
- Use the data to support your answer.
