Overview
Statistics Project This activity is designed to put the concepts learned into a real-world context. You will need to survey at least 30 random people, record their results, and organize, analyze, and draw conclusions from your data. You will hand-in your data sheet and a written report containing the calculations and conclusions asked for in the project description. Answer all questions and state all conclusions in complete sentences. Clearly show all calculations. Data Collection Decide on a survey question that will yield qualitative (non-numerical) data and record it as question #1 on the data sheet. Decide on survey question that will yield quantitative (numerical) data and record it as question #2 on the data sheet. Randomly survey at least 30 people asking them the 2 questions. Legibly record their responses on the data sheet. Data Organization/Analysis Include the following in your report. What sampling method did you use to collect the data? Why did you choose this method? Using the data from question 1, Organize the data in a circle graph. Clearly title and label the circle graph. Analyze the data by finding the mode. Explain why you cannot find the mean or the median of this data. State a conclusion about the population that is shown by the data you collected. Using the data from question 2, Analyze the data by finding the mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation. State a conclusion about the population that is shown by the data you collected. Is the data normally distributed? Why or why not? Note: If you are unsure whether your questions will yield satisfactory results, check with me before conducting the survey.
