Tuesday HW!

Tonight, please complete the following in your textbook (and check your answers!):

Page 65: 5, 7, 21, 31

When you are asked to "describe the distribution in 5, 7, and 21 you should write a few sentences:

• Describe the shape
• Describe any (potential) outliers, any gaps, or any clusters
• Use context in your writing--don't write about "the data"
• Comment on the center--where is the middle of the data values (median)?
• Comment on the spread--quickly look to see the range of the data!
• Here is a rough template you might use to help when describing distributions:
• The distribution of _____(context--what is the data about?)____ is _(describe shape) and __(describe shape)___. There __are/are not___ apparent outliers. (If there are possible outliers, comment on whether they are low or high).There is a cluster of _(context)__ around ____ and a gap between _________. 
• Then, write one last general sentence commenting on the data in context--what does the graph/distribution tell you about this context?
• Every piece of that template may not apply--for instance there may not be any gaps, so you might leave that out

Tomorrow we'll wrap up chapter 4 and start chapter 5! See you there!
