Project Summary: Collecting data and creating graphs - Collect data from 30 people from your work, school, neighborhood, family, or other group. Ask a quantitative question, such as, “How many pets do you have?” or “How many college classes have you taken?” Explain your population, sample, and sampling method and what level of measurement your data is (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio). Use technology (StatCrunch, Statdisk, or Excel) to create a Histogram of your data and explain the shape of the distribution (bell-shaped, uniform, right-skewed, or left-skewed) and possible reasons why the distribution is this shape. Explain the importance of this data, what you find interesting about the data, and why the public should know. Look up a newspaper, e-pub, or journal article that confirms or denies the results of your small study.
