Question

DISPLAYING AND DESCRIBING DISTRIBUTIONS In this lab assignment you will use descriptive and graphical tools in StatCrunch to analyze and interpret data related to the passengers of the British ocean liner Titanic that sank in 1912 after colliding with an iceberg. In particular, you will explore the relationship between age, gender, social status and survival of 1309 passengers. You will learn how to display the related categorical and quantitative data with bar charts, histograms, and boxplots, and how to summarize the data by obtaining frequency tables, contingeney tables, and numerical measures of center and spread. The Titanic Disaster On April 15, 1912, during her maiden voyage, the British ocean liner Titanic, the largest ship afloat at the time, sank in the North Atlantic Ocean after colliding with an iceberg, killing vast majority of 2224 passengers and crew. One of the reasons that the shipwreck led to such loss of life was that there were not enough lifeboats for the passengers and crew In this lab assignment you will use dataset that describes gender, age, passenger class and survival status of 1309 passengers on the Titanic. You will see that some groups of passengers were more likely to have survived than others. The data does not contain information for 885 crew members, but it does contain actual and estimated ages for almost 80% of the passengers. Any passenger under 12 years of age was classified as "child This dataset is based on the Titanic Passenger List edited by Michael A. Findlay, originally published in Eaton & Haas (1994) Titanic: Triumph and Tragedy, Patrick Stephens Ltd The data are available in the StatCrunch file labl.xr located on the STAT 151 Laboratories web site at http://www.stat.ualberta.ca/statslabs/statl5 Vindex.htm (click Stat 151 link, and Data for Lab ). The data are not to be printed in your submission. The following is a description of the variables in the data file
