Quantitative Reasoning II Project: Calculations and Visuals

Create at least three visuals.

• One visual must be a scatter plot with trend line, equation, R2 value, and prediction value.
• Two of the remaining required visuals can be of the following format: histogram, box and whisker plot, or pie chart.
• Please note that the data set that you chose in Week 2 includes data that will not be needed to create your visuals. Quantitative reasoning requires critical thinking to decide what data is necessary.  

Create a Microsoft® Word document that includes your three visuals and the following items:

• Title of your project and the scenario you are addressing
• Brief description of each visual (15 to 50 words)
• Consider including the following for each visual when applicable:
  • A chart title that is appropriate for the data
  • A descriptive x-axis label
  • A descriptive y-axis label
• For your xy scatter plot, make at least one prediction using the trend line equation for a date in the future. How confident are you in this prediction? State your prediction and provide justification (50 to 150 words). 
• If you created a box and whisker plot, describe the central tendency of the values. What does this tell you about the data and about your project?
• Calculate the mean of the sample data.
