Data on spending per pupil across the entire population of Wisconsin public school districts are provided. Calculate the mean, median, and standard deviation for these data.

Next, use a statistical package program such as Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), a statistical software program derived from “statistics” and “data” (STATA), or the like to create a frequency distribution for these data. Use your discretion when determining the number of categories in the distribution. To get started, make sure first to calculate the range for these data.
