Statistical Project

Statistical Question Project

Today we will begin working on our Statistical Question project.  Here's a quick overview of what you will be doing as you complete your project:

Statistical Question Project

Think of a statistical question that you could ask other students in this Math class.  It has to be a numerical statistic, not a categorical one.

• Collect the data (ask your question to at least 20 different people)
• Find the mean, median, mode and range of your data.
• Indicate which measure(s) of central tendency best describe(s) your data. Explain.
• Make four different data displays for your question.
• Analyze your data and answer your statistical question.
• Create a Google Presentation of your findings. You should have a slide showing each of the following:

              *SLIDE 1: Statistical Question

              *SLIDE 2: Data (in a table)

              *SLIDE 3: Mean

              *SLIDE 4: Median

              *SLIDE 5: Mode

              *SLIDE 6: Range

              *SLIDE 7: Best Measure of Central Tendency explanation

              *SLIDE 8: Dot Plot

              *SLIDE 9: Frequency table

              *SLIDE 10: Histogram

              *SLIDE 11: Box-and-Whisker Plot

              *SLIDE 12: Answer to Statistical Question

Here is an example of a Statistical Question project submitted by one of Mr. Nelson's former students:
