LA1 Descriptive Statistics

This document describes a laboratory activity on descriptive statistics. It contains three data sets - one on categorical data of student class levels, one on discrete duck clutch sizes, and one on continuous daily temperature data. For each data set, students are asked to construct frequency tables, relative frequency tables, graphs, and calculate measures like mean, median, and standard deviation. The goal is for students to organize, analyze, and interpret the different descriptive statistics of each sample data set.

NAME: __________________________________ DATE: ____________________

COURSE/YEAR & SECTION: __________________ PROF.: ____________________

OBJECTIVES:
1. Create a pivot table and data visualization in Microsoft Excel.
2. Clearly organize and compute detailed information about the three data sets.
3. Graph and calculate several descriptive measures of the data set using a variety of methods

Data Set 1: Categorical Data


The class levels of a simple random sample of students are as follow:
Senior Senior Senior Freshman Junior Senior Senior
Sophomore Junior Junior Senior Senior Freshman Senior
Senior Senior Sophomore Sophomore Sophomore Sophomore Senior
Senior

Tasks:
a. Construct a table that gives the frequency distribution of this data. Interpret the result.
b. Construct a table that gives the relative frequency distribution of this data. Interpret the result.
c. Construct a pie chart of this data that displays the percentage of students at each class level. Interpret the
result.
d. Construct a bar graph of this data that displays the frequency of students at each class level. Interpret the
result.

Data Set 2: Discrete Data


A sample of clutch sizes (number of eggs produced) for a certain type of duck is given as follows:
13 11 9 8 11 7 9 9 10 6
10 10 12 10 10 7 10 11 10

Tasks:
a. Construct a table that gives the frequency distribution of this data. Interpret the result.
b. Construct a table that gives the relative frequency distribution of this data. Interpret the result.
c. Construct a frequency histogram of this data. Interpret the result.

Data Set 3: Continuous Data


The low temperature on February 1st in Denver for the last 26 years is given by the table below.

Tasks:
a. Construct a table that gives the frequency distribution of this data.
b. Find the sample mean for this data set.
c. Find the median of this data set.
d. Find the sample standard deviation of this data set.
e. Summarize and interpret the results obtained from Task a to Task d.
