Statcrunch exploratory data report
Goal: To show that you understand how to make and describe various
categorical and quantitative graphs and can use those graphs to
discover relationships in a large data set.
Output: A StatCrunch report that is completed and shared/emailed with
me and our RCHS statcrunch group.
Deadlines:
October 26th, Monday: Pick your data set and report it to me.
Note: your data must come from page _____ and can be chosen from the
top/bottom half. Go to Explore—Data to find your page. If that page
does not contain sufficient data, add 35 to your page number.
November 6th, Friday, 7am: Report must be completed, an email sent to
me and shared with RCHS group.
A few details:
*Categorical/quantitative graphs are both required.
*Scatterplots are not required, but are encouraged if they are
appropriate for your data. Likewise with regression equations.
*Your goal is find relationships in the data and describe them. The
most common way to do this is to graph one variable with respect to
another (movie revenue according to rating, pulse rate by gender,
etc…) However, graphs of just a single variable may be important as
well.
*This will count as a test grade.
*I will have a tutoring day in a computer lab for tech fearful!
