Thursday HW

Tonight, you have two things for homework:

1.) Finish our description of the distribution of ticket sales (in your notes). We've written about shape and outliers, and now you have to discuss center and spread.

2.) Describe the distribution (SOCS) of test scores for the histogram you created last night (for homework).

****For both of these, when you discuss center and spread, you are expected to use the 1VarStats to find the value of mean/median and/or standard deviation/IQR/range.

***Remember, everything should be written in context--talk about ticket sales of the top 20 movies of 2008, or talk about test scores on a recent math exam--not "the data."

If you were out yesterday, you'll have to first create the test scores histogram before you describe it. Here's the context:

The values below represent 17 test scores (out of 64 total points) on a recent math exam.

60, 45, 59, 46, 60, 23, 52, 40, 59, 59, 58, 58, 28, 48, 54, 38, 54

Using intervals (x-scale) of width 5, create a histogram (appropriately labeled) using the data above.

And lastly, you will have your chapter 4 vocab quiz on Monday! Check back tomorrow/this weekend for a specific vocab list!
