  5. Jonny & Hannan, be sure you have enough quantitative data. The DD vs What's Brewin sounds categorical.

  7. 1. Our project is going to be about Coffee
    2. The statistic of interest in our project is going to be the number of cups of coffee a person drinks in a week.
    3. We expect that the average amount of coffe a person drinks in a week will be around 7 (1 cup a day) and that the data will be skewed right since people dont drink that much coffee and some dont drink it at all.
    4. The data source will be of random students from beverly high school.

    Idan and i will be working together on this project

  8. 1. Our project will be on iPod use.
    2. The statistic of interest will be the number of songs on a student's ipod.
    3. We expect that the average number of songs will be around 120, with the data skewed to the right because some students may not really use iPods very often.
    4. The data will be a relatively random sample of students at Beverly High.

    Nick Koenig and I will work together.

    - Our project will focus on the amount of reality television watched in one week versus the amount of regular television (including local and world news) watched
    - The statistic of interest will be the hours of television watched in a week
    - We expect that we will have a fairly normal distribution, with people watching a mostly even amount of both types of television
    - Our data source comes from a random sample of BHS students

    - Our project will be about the number of cell phones people have owned.
    - We expect that the data will be skewed to the right because most people probably haven't been through a lot of phones.
    - Our data source will be random Beverly High students.

    1. Our project will be how much time people spend on social networking sites and which sites they are
    2. The statistic of interest is how much time someone spends on a social networking site and which one they're on.
    3. We expect the data to be skewed to the right because people tend to spend their time doing a variety of things, not just social networking sites.

  16. 1. My project will be about the amount people spend per week on coffee.
    2. My statistic of interest is the number of dollars someone spends on coffee per week.
    3. My expected result is that the data will be bimodal, with one peak of low value representing people who drink little to no coffee per week and one peak of high value representing people who drink a great deal of coffee per week.
    4. My data source will be random Beverly High School students.

  17. 1. My project is about applying to college.
    2. The statistic of interest is the amount of time that seniors spend on writing their college essay.
    3. I expect that the data will be skewed to the left as most people tend to spend a lot of time working on their essay.
    4. My data source will come for a random sample of BHS seniors.

  18. Give me a better idea because I have no statistical interests. I don't care what I do, just be more specific in instructions, please.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Ok so we're gonna change us to whether students prefer Dunkin Donuts or What's Brewin and what they get: coffee, tea, food, or other.

  20. Our project will be about college applications. We will collect data on the number of colleges seniors are applying to. I expect the data to be unimodal and skewed right, with most students applying to a middle range while some students apply to many more, and a few apply to fewer. Our sample will come from BHS seniors and will be chosen at random.

    Meagan Lewis and I will be working on this project together.

  26. 1. Our project is about the amount of exercise for average high school students.
    2. Hours of exercise per week is the statistic of interest.
    3. We expect there will be a large range in the results, and possibly a bimodal graph because we think that in general people will exercise a lot or not very much at all.
    4. Our data source is a random sample of BHS students.
