As you complete each task below, check it off. Answer all questions in your summary.
Here are two examples, but you may NOT use them: number of M&M's per bag, number of pencils students have in their backpacks.
____ What value is 1.5 standard deviations below the mean?
You need to turn in the following typed and stapled packet, with pages in the following order:
As you complete each task below, check it off. Answer all questions in your summary.
____ Decide what continuous data you are going to study. (Here are two examples, but you may NOT use them: the amount of money a student spent on college supplies this term, or the length of time distance telephone call lasts.)
____ Suppose that X followed the following theoretical distributions. Set up each distribution using the appropriate information from your data.
You should have one page for the uniform distribution, one page for the exponential distribution, and one page for the normal distribution.
____ State the distribution: X ~ _________
______ From your original data (before ordering), use a random number generator to pick 40 samples of size five. For each sample, calculate the average.

Turn in the following typed (12 point) and stapled packet for your final project:
Introduction____State the bivariate data your group is going to study.
Here are two examples, but you may NOT use them: height vs. weight and age vs. running distance.
Analysis ____On a separate sheet of paper construct a scatter plot of the data. Label and scale both axes.
In this section, you will use the data for ONE variable only. Pick the variable that is more interesting to analyze. For example: if your independent variable is sequential data such as year with 30 years and one piece of data per year, your x-values might be 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, …, 2000. This would not be interesting to analyze. In that case, choose to use the dependent variable to analyze for this part of the project.
Entire Project, typed and stapled: __________
____ Cover sheet: names, class time, and name of your study
____ Part I: label the sections “Intro” and “Analysis.”
____ Part II:
____ Summary page containing several paragraphs written in complete sentences describing the experiment, including what you studied and how you collected your data. The summary page should also include answers to ALL the questions asked above.
____ All graphs requested in the project
____ All calculations requested to support questions in data
____ Description: what you learned by doing this project, what challenges you had, how you overcame the challenges
Include answers to ALL questions asked, even if not explicitly repeated in the items above.
