January 5, 2015 Data Management Project - Final Assessment ‘+ Answer all questions on graph paper. « Use a pencil and ruler. * You may use a calculator to find the mean and median. + Write the date and the question numbers. 1a. Create a single stem-and-leaf plot to show one set of continuous data (e.g. height, armspan, wrist circumference) ‘from our class, Checklist: Give your plot a descriptive title. 1b, Calculate the range, mean, mode and median for the set of data (e.g. height) on your stem-and-leaf plot. Checklist: range mean mode median 2a. Create a single bar graph with intervals showing the same data (e.g. height) for students from one other country (Australia, New Zealand or United States). Checklist: Choose and appropriate scale for the Y axis (e.g. number of students). You may want to use the < symbol Choose appropriate intervals for the X axis (eg. height: 100 - 109, 110 - 119, 120 - 129, 130 - 139, ete.) Label both axes. Include units of measurement (e.g. cm). Include a key (BCPS/ Australia), Add a descriptive title. 2b. Calculate the range, mean, mode and median for the set of data (e.g. height) on your bar graph from another country. Checklist: [range [[] mean [7] mode [7] median Using your stem-and-leaf plot, bar graph and measurements (range, mean, mode and median), compare students in our class with the students from another country (Australia, New Zealand, United States). Are we similar or are we different? Explain you reasoning (give supporting evidence from your data and graphs!) in a persuasive paragraph. Checklist: Your paragraph should consist of at least 5 sentences. [_] Topic Sentence (e.g. The grade 5 students at BCPS are similar/dif ferent to students from...) [J] Minimum of 3 supporting statements with evidence (refer to graphs and range/mean/mode/median), 1 conclusion ‘4a, Using two sets of continuous data from our class only (e.g. armspan and foot length), create a scatter plot. Checklist: LL) choose an appropriate scale for the X axis (e.g. armspan) [_] Choose an appropriate scale for the Y axis (e.g. foot length). You may want to use the S symbol F] Label both axes. Include units of measurement (e.g. cm). 7] Add a descriptive title. 4b. What is the relationship between the two sets of data (e.g. armspan and foot length)? Refer to the scatter plot (upward trend, downward trend or no trend) to explain, Examples of Continuous Data Height (cm) Armspan (cm) Foot Length (cm) Forearm (cm) Wrist circumference (mm) Travel time (min.)
