Tonight, please describe the Wayne Gretzky (games played per season) and EHHS Boys Bball (points scored per game) histograms that we created for homework last week!
- If you lost your homework you will have to re-create the graphical displays before you can describe them!
- Remember you also were given an answer key with these two graphs, so be sure to describe the CORRECT histogram! (Use the key if you have to)
- If you lost your paper the data sets are provided below
- For tonight's homework....
- Describe SOCS! And write in context! Use today's in-class example to help...
- We were given the full data sets for each, so for measures of center and spread you should use the "1 Var Stats" in your calculator to calculate the exact mean, median, range, IQR--do not estimate these from your graph
- For measures of center, reference both mean and median (since we can calculate both)
- For measures of spread, reference both range and IQR (since we can calculate both)
- I would follow this general structure...
- Write a sentence stating "The distribution of ____" to define context
- Describe shape and any possible outliers (remember you can look at your boxplot)
- Describe the center (reference mean and median)
- Describe the spread (reference range and IQR)
- Write one last "Generally" sentence, describing "Generally" what the graph tells us about either how many games Wayne Gretzky played per season, or how many points the EHHS Boys BBall team scored
- Be sure everything is written in context!
Tomorrow we'll work through some more examples in class! See you there!
Here's the data in case you lost yours...
