Part 1 - Module 2 activity data set attachment Create Your Graphs Remember

Overview

Part 1 - Module 2 activity data set attachment Create Your Graphs Remember, different scales of measurement require different types of graphs. In the Module Two Activity Data Set, the “Race” column contains discrete, nominal data, so the best graphic depiction is a pie chart. “Age” is continuous, interval-ratio data, so the best graphic depiction is a histogram. Use Excel’s Analysis ToolPak to create: a pie chart for Race and a histogram for Age, with a bin for each year based on the minimum and maximum data. For more information about using the Analysis ToolPak to create charts and graphs, you can refer to this Graphing Tips and Tricks document. Once you’ve created both the pie chart and histogram, you’ll need to save each graph as an image file. If necessary, you can refer to Microsoft Support for information on how to save a chart as a picture. Upload Images of Your Graphs Use the template on this page to upload images of your two graphs to the webtext. Then click to download your charts in a Word document, which you will then upload to Brightspace for your instructor.

Upload your pie chart of the sample Race data as a JPEG or PNG file: Drop files here or 2. Upload your histogram of the sample Age data as a JPEG or PNG file: Drop files here or Complete Activity To complete this template, you must click the “Complete Activity” button. If the button cannot be clicked, make sure you have uploaded both of your images. Don’t Forget to Download Your Document! When you click the button to download your document in the writing template above, the DOCX file may be automatically saved to your Downloads folder or to another location you’ve specified, depending on your browser’s settings. When you open your document before uploading it to Brightspace, make sure you open and save it using Microsoft Word. Opening and saving your document through other applications, like Google Docs, may result in formatting errors that could affect your grade on the assignment. part 2 of project one data Review Coding Details Open the file in Excel, then select the cell at the top of each column to see a desсrіption of how that variable was coded. You’ll use this information to decide whether the scores were measured on a nominal, ordinal, or interval-ratio scale. Step 3: Describe the Data Use the coding details in the spreadsheet to fill out the writing template with information about the data you will be using for Project One. For each variable, you will identify the following: Scale of Measurement. Questions on the GSS often use Likert-type items, which are typically treated as an interval-ratio scale in research practice. For this assignment, choose the type of scale that’s most technically correct for each variable, not necessarily what researchers would use. Measure of Central Tendency. If more than one measure can be reported for a given variable, choose the measure that requires the most mathematical computation. For example, scores on an interval or ratio scale have a meaningful mean, median, and mode. But since the mean requires the most math, you would choose “Mean” from the drop-down box. Measure of Variability. You do not need to calculate any actual statistics; simply identify which measure you would use based on the scale of measurement. Again, if more than one measure can be reported for a given variable, choose the one that would require the most computation. Graphic Depiction. Consider which type of graph most appropriately describes the distribution. You do not need to create any graphs; you’ll simply identify which ones you would use. For more help and to see how you’ll be graded for this assignment, you can refer to the “Project One Milestone Guidelines and Rubric” document on Brightspace. rompt For this milestone, you will submit a Word file. You will complete your milestone using your Soomo writing template and the data set provided in Soomo. Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria: Identify the scales of measurement for each variable. For the purpose of identifying scales of measurement, use (1) Nominal, (2) Ordinal, or (3) Interval and/or Ratio as accurately as possible. Identify reasonable measures of central tendency, given the scales of measurement for each variable. For the purpose of identifying measures of central tendency, use (1) Mean, (2) Median, or (3) Mode. Identify reasonable measures of variability, given the scales of measurement for each variable. For the purpose of identifying measures of variability, use (1) Range/Interquartile Range, (2) Standard Deviation/Variance, or (3) None. Identify reasonable graphic depictions, given the scales of measurement for each variable. For the purpose of identifying graphic depictions, use (1) Bar/Pie or (2) Histogram. Describe how these concepts intersect and why scales of measurement influence decisions about statistics and graphics. The length of your desсrіption must be about 4 to 7 sentences. What to Submit You will use your Soomo writing template to complete the milestone and download it for submission.
