Assignment: One More Observation (and corrections to your box plot if necessary)
Make one more observation that speaks to what you now understand about box plots.
*Things that you might address are what they do or do not show you, how the data is organized, why they come in different sizes, and what those shapes tell you.
*You can use examples from the coin data (comparing it to the class histogram), things that you remembered observing or hearing in class today, or you can make up examples of how different data (like M&Ms) might be represented. You could also speak to the benefits or limitations to box plots. Let me know what you think!
*If you noticed today that your box plot was made incorrectly, now is the time to fix that as well. Just draw it on your paper in the space you have left between your histogram and your old box plot.
Due Friday: Histogram and Box Plot of Class Data, two (total) observations/comparisans.
Tonight you should first focus on your science conclusion that is due tomorrow; please make it your priority, then do the math as time allows.
Thank you, by the way, for your fabulous feedback in class! I appreciate your comments and ideas in how to make this blog even more useful for you this year.
Mo ;-)
