In this project, you 1. Choose a topic for which you can candy find data that you think will be normally distributed (be careful here and think about what that means). Data should be presented numerically. For example, do not choose "favorite colors" since you can not find the mean of red, blue, and green. A few examples of topics could involve height, weight (not just of people!), temperature, earnings, prices, or sports data. If you are unsure of a good topic, please ask me and I can help! You must cite the source of your data - where did it come from (I will check!)? You can include a link to a webpage or a printout of your data source. For this part you must identify: your topic why you think this data would be normally distributed whether your data points are discrete or continuous, and explain your answer. This will be important for #3-4. a link to where you found your data (if you collected it manually you should describe how and include the method of collection that you used). 2. Collect 30 data points and present them neatly in a table. Less than 30 data points will negatively affect your grade on this project. 3. From your table, construct a frequency distribution. Choose intervals that create 5 categories. 4. From your frequency distribution, construct a histogram. Answer the question: does your data look relatively normal - why or why not (make an assumption based on the type of data you collected, not just the shape of the graph)? 5. Calculate the mean, median, and mode of your data. Show all steps. 6. Calculate the standard deviation of your data. Show all steps. 7. In a standard normal distribution, about 68% of data falls within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% within two, and 99.7% within three standard deviations. Compare this to the percent of your data that falls within one, two, and three standard deviations. 8. Write a short summary your project. Your report must answer the following questions in detail (please number each answer): 1. How/why did you choose your topic and how/where did you collect your data? 2. Describe the population that you sampled - be very specific! Do you think this affected your data positively or negatively? 3. Do you think that your results could represent a larger population that the one you sampled? Why or why not? What would that larger population be? 4. Which measure of central tendency (mean, median, or mode) is most representative of your data and why? Be specific with your reasoning. 5. After completing this project and working with your specific data, is there anything that you would do differently or be more careful/aware of if you were to do this project again? 6. What is your biggest takeaway from this project - i.e. what did you learn that may have surprised you
