Question:
- Find a bar plot in the media or online. Include an image of the graph you found, not just the link. Hint: Google "bar plot," "bar graph," or "bar chart." Choose a graph with a topic that is interesting to you since you will be using this graph for Parts 1 and II of this project. The vertical scale can be given in frequencies (count) or relative frequencies (proportions).Be sure that the graph is depicting real data, not made-up data.
- Identify the categorical variable being depicted.
- Answer questions:What is the most common category and least common category?
- What is the relative frequency for the most common category? Note: this is the value forthat you will use in part F. below.
- Conjecture the number of individuals in the most common category if there were 5,000 individuals included.
- Is there anything misleading about the graph? Give at least one way to improve the graph. Was a valid sampling method used to obtain the data? If so, explain and identify the name of the sampling method given. If not (or if this information is not given), describe a valid sampling method (in detail and in context) that could have been used and identify the name of the sampling method you described.
- Carry out a simulation for the most common category. Assume a sample of size 100 and. Complete 50 trials of the simulation using the RossmanChance applet athttp://www.rossmanchance.com/applets/OneProp/OneProp.htm. Take a snip or screenshot of the resulting dot plot. Compute a two-sided p-value for the most common category in your graph. Based on your p-value, what is the appropriate conclusion for a test of these hypotheses:
