Lab 1.

For Lab 1 you will be collecting/finding three sets of sample data with at least 50 elements.
Collect/Find data sets that interest you! Most students collect data from their current job,
a hobby or something completely off the wall such as the size of toilet paper sheets.
It does not matter what the population is as long as it is collected using one of the sampling
techniques in your book(see chapter 4). You are not required to use random sampling.
For example, you can get a bag of M&M’s and look at its colors,
or you can look at the type of cars on diferent parking lots. For the other data
you can search the internet: weather data for Medford OR, or precipitation data;
goals made by a certain team, number of homeruns, etc.

List your 50 or more categorical data points in column A of the next worksheet in this
workbook (see tabs). List your 50 or more continuous data points in Column A of the next worksheet in this
workbook and finally list your 50 or more discrete data points in column A of the next
worksheet in this workbook. Answer all questions about your data on these worksheets.
Create the appropriate graphs for each of the data sets.
