Data is not always nice whole numbers...
freq dist, histogram, stats ***
n=___
mean=_____ median=_____ mode(s)=___ (typically data of many digits has no mode)
SD s=______ range:_______
this data is harder to think about...so, mentally drop the decimal point and
consider the first 3 decimal digits, as 836, 843 ....
The stats too. s is about 30,
Sketch the boxplot and annotate it with the 5 numbers and IQR:
Looks symmetric?:____
Outlier cutoffs:______________ (by the <,> 1.5*IQR method)
Outliers:______________________
2*s=_______ mean-2s=______ mean+2s=_____
Which datums are "statistically significant"___________________
i.e. not within 2 SD of the mean == More than 2 SD from the mean.
The frequency distribution table tells us what interesting thing about this data:
____________________________ (common with data of many digits)
The "stickgram" gives some hint of symmetry and clustering in the middle?:___
Sketch the histogram from .830 to .950 of class width of .012: "830 to 950 by 12"
Annotate each class's bar with its frequency. #of classes:___
Looks normalish?:___ some right skew... but 20 is a small size for a sample
