Today, you will become more familiar with your data by answering these questions, and then writing up a brief summary report about your data. Ultimately, the goal is to use your data to tell a story.
Once you have answered the questions, you can see your answers as well as the answers of your classmates here.
Your report should be written in a separate sheet in the same Excel spreadsheet where you saved your data. The report should include:
1. Central tendencies. A summary of two your variables, using mean, median or mode. Justify your choice of one of those three measures of central tendency. Write a sentence summarizing what you found. Write another sentence that interprets the finding.
2. Frequency distributions. Create a frequency distribution for two variables of your choice. Use the book and my help to do this.
3. Create bar charts based on the frequency distributions. For each, write a several sentence description of the distribution. We'll talk about this.
