Thursday HW

Tonight, please complete the "Quantitative Data Displays" worksheet provided in class (or below if you were out).

  • Use your graphing calculator to make the histogram! Practice!
  • In #3, to find the one variable statistics, you'll need to look up how:
    • Look at the yellow box on page 86, OR
    • Look at the back page of your summer assignment: this was the same question, and lists the steps/buttons to press, OR
    • Click on the "Using Your Graphing Calculator" link on the right, and under "Working With Univariate Data" choose "Finding One Variable Statistics for a list of data."
Tomorrow I WILL check your homework!

Periods A and E have STAR tomorrow, and period E has it Tuesday--here's the schedule and where to go:

Period A: Library tomorrow (Friday)

Period D: Career Center (Tuesday)

Period E: Room 132 tomorrow (Friday)

Here's tonight's homework: Quantitative Data Displays


The following data shows the median age of residents in each of the states in New England and down the East Coast:
39.5, 38.4, 35.1, 40, 34.7, 42.2, 37.7, 39, 40.4, 38.8, 38.1, 36.9, 39.2, 37.6, 41.2, 36.9

1.)    Create a well-labeled dotplot for the data above. (xmin = 34, xmax = 42, xscl = 1)

2.)    Create a well-labeled stemplot for the data above.

3.)    Generate the 1 Variable Statistics for this data using your graphing calculator.
Mean
Standard Deviation

Minimum
Q1 (First Quartile)
Median
Q3 (Third Quartile)
Maximum

Range











4.)    On the back of the paper, create a well-labeled histogram for the data above. (xmin = 34, xmax = 42, xscl = 2)
