Still picking a data set? Go to:

and see what is still available. Be aware! The page numbers may have shifted a bit.
After you pick your data set, edit the page and put your pick on the page!
That's right, it is a wiki: that means you can edit it. Click "Edit", type in your data set to claim it. Then click "Save".

I will be available this Thursday and next Tuesday in a computer lab for help.

report

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!

Ch 10!

Ch. 10 #9 and 10

Review answers

a) Yes! The residual plot shows no pattern
b) 233.5: For each year that goes by we predict about 233.5 more aircraft flying.
c) 89.9% of the variation in aircraft flying is explained by regression on year.
d) Plug in 2 (not 1992!): predicted aircraft = 2939.9+233.5*2 = 3406.9 aircraft.
e) residual at 2 = 40, so the actual was 3406.9+40=3446.9 or 3447
f) sqrt(.899) = .948 = strong, positive, linear relationship between year and aircraft.
g) On average, my predicted number of aircraft misses by about 33.43
h) aircraft-hat = 2939.93 + 233.5(year)
i) we predict in 1990 that the number of aircraft flying is about 2939.9

some review ideas, Unit 1

Outlier fences:
Q1 - 1.5IQR
Q3 + 1.5IQR

sd is always positive
(or zero if all the data is identical)

Categorical graphs:
bar and pie

Quantitative graphs:
stem and leaf (shows data)
boxplot (can hide shape)
ogive/cumulative freq
dotplot
histogram

Independent data makes bar graphs with similar levels

The mean is lower than the median for skewed left data

Measures of spread:  IQR, sd and range
Measures of center: mean and median
Which of the above are resistant?  med and IQR

Rule of thumb:  68-95-99.7

z-score formula:  (x - mu)/sigma

StatCrunch this week

Assignment 1:

• 
  
• Go to My Groups
• Click on RCHS group
• Click on the First Day of school data
• Make a graph of one or more variables on the survey
• Describe
• Print graph and description

Assignment 2:

• Find some data. Lots of it.
• You have to find data that contains both categorical and quantitative variables on the individuals.
• Go to My Data
• On the left, you'll see some options, choose the one that works.
• Make sure to Share with our group:
• If you are viewing the data in the StatCrunch, click Edit and then you can share.

• There is a cool new option that will grab data from a website
• Go to http://www.statcrunch.com/bookmarklet
• Go to that page and read about adding a bookmark called "StatcrunchThis".
• Then go to the website you want to grab.
• Click the bookmark
• Save and data and share it.

Make sure you have described your data so that everyone knows what all the variables mean.

You may do Assignment #2 with a partner IF both of you have joined the AP Stats group.

After you have done assignment #2, email me with your names, your names in StatCrunch and the name of your data set.

Assignment #1 will be checked in class on Friday.

Assignment #2 must be done by 8pm on Thursday night. Anyone who does not receive a reply email from me by 9pm on Thursday night will be considered late.

Find an interesting data set about something you care about!!!
