Question

Look online to collect some univariate data. For example, you might collect data on the number of HRs hit by the top Major league players, the population for each of the fifty US states, the average SAT scores for all colleges in the Big Ten, or the number of animals at the twenty largest US zoos. Once you do that, please do the following:

• Discuss where you located your data (website, etc.) (1 point)
• Organize your data using at least two of the methods we discussed in class (pie chart, bar graph, histogram, dotplot, stem-and-leaf plot, boxplot – but don’t use pie chart and bar graph as your two, since you won’t be able to see shape using just those) (4 points)
• Describe the shape of your data; make sure to include some of the following concepts – modality, symmetry, and skewness (1 points)
• Calculate the most appropriate measure of center and spread (2 points)
• Defend your choices as to which were the most appropriate measure of center and spread (2 points)
• Interpret these charts and statistics in context (2 points)
