Description
Looking for an assignment that applies all you've taught about statistics? Well, then look no further! This is ready to print/share and go!!
This document provides directions for students to follow to create their own statistics project. They are required to create a statistical question and then survey a population of 50 (fellow classmates, neighbors, etc.) Then, they must report their results in the form of a dot plot, box plot, frequency table, and histogram. After the data is represented visually, they must complete a written analysis that includes questions regarding their data.
Sample Questions for Written Analysis:
What are the results of your study? What is the mean of your data?
Do you believe your results are valid? Why or why not?
Were there any outliers that skewed your data one way or another? Did any outliers change your results?
Which graph best represents the results of your data? Why? Explain.
Were you surprised by your results or was the data what you expected? Explain.
What is the MAD (Mean Absolute Deviation) of your data? What does this value tell you about your results?
Next, students will create a presentation to give to the class. *Presentation can be optional.
Requirements of Presentation:
Create a visual display of your results to be shared with the class (Google Slides, Prezi, Powerpoint, Adobe Spark, Canva, etc.) Include the following in your presentation:
Title Slide: Your name and Statistical Question
Results:
The mean of your data
