3 Unit 12 Day 1: Gathering Data & Calculator Fun! Let s choose one of the above topics to analyze in class today. List the data below STAT LIST Sort: Mode: 1 Var STATS Mean: Standard Deviation: 5 Number Summary: BOX PLOT Modified Box Plot: IQR & Outliers: HISTOGRAM SKEWED (more on this in the SOCS handout, page 8) Left: Symmetric: Right: 3

4 Unit 12 Day 2: Stat Project Part 1 The following Stat Project is due before the start of class on Tuesday, June 8. The project consists of 3 sections. Introductory Questions Analyzing 2 data sets Additional Box Plot Analysis General Lab Directions The final project should be typed (Word or Powerpoint) and submitted electronically. You only need to submit one file per group. All graphs must be well labeled and neat. You may draw the graph by hand and scan it if you want, or you can use excel or some other graphing program Neatness, organization, spelling, creativity will be factored into your grade. Content matters. Answers must make sense and be written at an honors level The following worksheets can be used to gather and organize your thoughts you will have to transfer all of the information into your final electronic file, but this will guide your efforts. For each topic, you must analyze in accordance with SOCS (reference guide follows page 8) 4

5 Stat Lab Part 1: Introductory Questions Statistics is about variation. Data vary because we don t see everything and because even what we do see and measure, we measure imperfectly. So in a very basic way, Statistics is about the real, imperfect world in which we live. [Stats: Modeling the World, Bock et al, p. 6] Note: Data Plural Form; Datum Singular Form Answer the following questions before you begin analyzing your data. There are no right or wrong answers. Use your common sense and explain your reasoning. You can write your answers here, but be sure to type them in your final electronic file. 1. List 3 specific reasons a company/organization might write a survey and gather real data? What answers are they trying to ascertain? 2. Recently Gatorade recruited young athletes around the country to create focus groups for new flavor research. Focus groups are simply groups of people who are asked their opinion for such things as trying a new product, watching a new movie or discussing a current event such as the recent oil spill. Why would a company/organization pay people for their opinions? 3. Why do companies/organizations spend great quantities of money to make sure that the data they gather on a certain product/movie/current event are accurate? (Most statisticians make big bucks.) 5

6 Stat Lab Part 2: Data Analysis In this section you are going to analyze two sets of data that we collected in class. You can choose which two of the ten that you are most interested in analyzing. Again, your final submission must be typed. Use the following sections to organize your thoughts Data Topic #1: (list data below) Data Topic #2: (list data below) For each data set you must include the following (use this as a check list!) * Note: the rubric I will use is posted on the class website if you want to see how you will be graded Mean, Median, Mode 5 Number Summary IQR and Outliers Standard Deviation Histogram (Modified) Box Plot Analysis of each set individually (see guided questions below) Comparison of the two data sets. 1. Overall analysis (one for each set) Describe The Data (Reference handout on SOCS interpret the results don t simply list them. Describe things in context.) Answer the following regarding your first set of data. 2. Did anything surprise you about this data? 3. Do you see a trend within the data? Make a prediction relevant to the data. Thoroughly describe why your prediction makes sense or flaws in your prediction. (Even if you are using class data try to be creative and thoughtful here no lazy thinkers). 4. How do your two data sets compare and contrast?! (Possible ideas: compare the graphs, look at the important values that you calculated, write a few sentences comparing the topics themselves This is open-ended and may vary in difficulty based on the two topics you chose. Be creative!) 6

7 Stat Lab Part 3: Additional Box Plot Analysis In this section you will create two Box plots on the SAME AXIS. Again, use this space to guide your work, but type or scan it into your final document! You will use two sets of data one is provided for you and one you must Google! Data Set #1: High Temperatures from May 1 May 30, Ocean City, NJ (weather.com) Data Set #2: Choose any city NOT in the USA and list its high temperatures for the month of May. (Find a city that has very different temperatures from Ocean City outliers would be great). 5-Number Summary for Ocean City 5-Number Summary for City of your Choice Create Side by Side Boxplots below (modified for outliers). Create one number line and include LABELS. Rule for Outliers - Q 1 1.5* IQR or Q3 1.5* IQR 1. How can you determine visually which city has greater variability in its high temperatures? 2. Which city has the highest high temperature? 3. Determine what an outlier would be for Ocean City in the month of May. Show all work! 4. If you heard a commercial claiming, Come to Ocean City in May, our average temperature is 71 degrees! Do you feel confident that you would get a 71 degree day? What if they stated the median temperature? Explain thoroughly. 7

8 . ShapeOutliersCenterSpread is an acronym helps to guide us when describing a distribution Shape What it looks like? Common descriptors: symmetrical, uniform, skewed left, skewed right. LEFT-SKEWED Histogram: The outliers to the left are pulling the shape to the left. Important: In a left-skewed distribution Mean < Median. The low scores wreck the mean RIGHT-SKEWED Histogram: The outliers to the right are pulling the shape right. Important: In a left-skewed distribution Mean >Median. Outliers Data points that are positioned away from the body of the distribution. Stragglers. Boxplots: there is a formula or simply graph a modified boxplot (*). Histograms: more experiential and don t have a rule. Center If a distribution is symmetrical and unimodal this is easy. Use mean or median they will be very close. Otherwise, it s tricky. Follow the following: Boxplots: report median Histograms: report mean if symmetrical; otherwise, report mean and median. Spread This is all about variation! Consider the temperatures of Philly and Honolulu over 6 days. Philly Honolulu x = 82 x = 82 Both cities have the same average but Philadelphia has a much greater variation or spread. Our weather varies greatly sometimes day to day. Consider: Are the data tightly clustered around the center or spread out? Boxplots: Report IQR Histograms: Report standard deviation 8

9 Unit 12 Day 3: Probability Overview, Compound Events & Conditional Prob. Probability as defined as the likelihood an event will occur. Ex: P (A on Stat Test) = Probabilities range from 0 (impossible) to 1 (definite). When all outcomes are equally likely, the theoretical probability that an event A will occur is PA ( ) Number of outcomes in event A Total number of outcomes Example 1: You rolled a six-sided die. Find the probability of (a) rolling a 5 and (b) rolling an even number. Example 2: You have an equally likely chance of choosing any integer from 1 through 20. Find the probability of the given event. a. A perfect square is chosen b. A factor of 30 is chosen. If A and B are any two events, then the probability of A or B is P( A or B) P( A) P( B) P( A and B) If A and B are disjoint events (have no chance of overlap) then the probability of A or B is: P(A or B)= P(A) +P(B) Example 3: A card is randomly selected from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that it is a 10 or a face card? Example 4: A card is randomly selected from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that it is a face card or a spade? (be careful, there is overlap here). 9

10 Helpful Hint: If A and B are independent events, then the probability that both A and B occur is: P(A and B) = P(A) P(B) AND = x (multiply) OR= + (add) Example 5. For a fundraiser, a class sells 150 raffle tickets for a mall gift certificate and 200 raffle tickets for a booklet of movie passes. You buy 5 raffle tickets for each prize. What is the probability that you will win both prizes? If A and B are dependent events, then the probability that both A and B occur is P(A and B)= P(A) P(B A) (this just means the P(A) P(B) given that A has already occurred. In other words, without replacement! Example 6: You randomly select two cards from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that the first card is not a heart and the second is a heart if (a) you replace the first card before selecting the second card, and (b) you do NOT replace the first card? Answers: , , , Reference Guide for the difference between Disjoint Events and Independent Events on next page 10

11 One Event When there is Overlap Subtract the overlap! P( A or B) P( A) P( B) P( A and B) Example: Rolling one die and rolling a 3 or and Odd #. P("3" or Odd ) P("3") P( Odd) P("3" and Odd) When there is NO Overlap PAorB ( ) PA ( ) PB ( ) Example: Rolling one die and rolling a 3 or and Even #. P("3" oreven) P("3") P( Even) Two Events Independent: There s no memory Example: Rolling two dice First a 5 and then a 2. PAthenB ( ) PA ( ) PB ( ) P("5" then "2") P(5) P(2) Dependent: The first event affects the second event Example: Drawing 2 cards An Ace then a King PAthenB ( ) PA ( ) PBA ( ) PAcethenKing ( ) PAce ( ) PKing ( assuming Ace was Taken)

12 Rules of Craps! Win Lose Other Come out roll(s) 7 or 11 2, 3, or 12 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 Establishes the Point! Point Roll(s) Hit the Point 7 All other #s Reroll! 12

13 For the Casino Lab, you must complete the craps station, and Blackjack or Roulette. The lab is due Monday! 13

16 Unit 12 Day 6: Z-Scores & The Normal Distribution Let s recap what a standard deviation is A z-score is defined as the of standard deviations a score is from the. The formula for a z-score is: Ex 1: A set of values has a mean of 85 and a standard deviation of 6. Find the z-score of the value 76. z-scores are closely related to the curve, or normal distributions. Typically, data sets > 1000 tend to be normalized. For example, SAT or IQ scores. Example: IQ test x Score: from mean: z-score: Empirical Rule: 16

17 Example 1: In a survey, the responses to the question How much time do you spend at meals in one week? are normally distributed. The mean was 13 hours, the standard deviation was 3 hours. a. What values are one standard deviation from the mean? b. What percent of the responses would you expect to find from 10 hours to 16 hours? c. Suppose there are 100 responses to the survey question. How many responses would you expect to be values from 10 hour to 16 hours? d. Of the 100 responses, how many would you expect to be values from 16 hours to 19 hours? Example 2: In a university lecture class where the final exam scores have a mean of 68 and a standard deviation of 7. The grades on the exams are all whole numbers and the grade pattern follows a normal curve. a. What percent of students above 68? b. Find the number of students who receive grades from 61 or below. Example 3: The mean of a data set is 7 hours and the standard deviation is two. About what percentage of students have an amount of homework within 2 standard deviations of the mean? 17
