• If using a box plot, what does each portion of the plot tell the reader? If using a histogram, what is the shape of the distribution? Is it skewed, symmetric, are there outliers, is it unimodal, bimodal, etc. Would it be viewed as "normal" and could be analyzed as such? For a scatterplot, what is the association? Does it appear to be weak, moderate or strong? Linear?Interpret the Sample
  • How was the data collected?
  • Do you predict any bias in the way the data was collected? Was it collected randomly?
  • What additional questions would you like to ask about the data collection
  • From the dates given in the sample, explain why your group chose to divide the data into the time periods that you analyzed for comparison
  • Conclusion
    • Summarize your overall findings and state a conclusion of what you observed from the data and analysis of this sample.
    • What limitations did you experience in the analysis and research? That is, what would you do different if you were conducting this research start to finish or were going to run a similar study?
    • What questions remain that you would like to answer if the research was continued or repeated?
