Math-Elements of Statistics

In this activity, you will first review graphing qualitative data from Unit 1 and then also review the issues of making a claim about a population from sample data.  Next you will apply your understanding of Correlation/Linear Regression, as covered in Chapter 5 of the text, to actual data.  The clean class data is given to the right.  (Notice that the data is “paired/collated” so if you rearrange the order in one column, you must rearrange all the corresponding row values in the other columns in that same way so that you don’t, for example, mix one person’s age data with another person’s height measure.)  We will again assume this data came from a random sample of FHSU students even though we know this to not be true.  As in all previous activities, use of Excel in calculating and producing statistical measures is required.
