CHAPTER 16 - INTEGRATED ALGEBRA B
ALGEBRA UNIT 12- UNIVARIATE STATISTICS
Introduction to Statistics (Day 1)
Statistics is all about data. Without data to talk about or to analyze or to question, statistics would not exist. There is a story to be uncovered behind all data - a story that has characters, plots, and problems in the data. The questions or problems addressed by the data and their story can be disappointing, exciting, or just plain ordinary! This unit is about stories that begin with data.
Data: ___________________________________________________________________
Statistics: _______________________________________________________________
There are usually three steps in a statistical study:
1. The collection of ______________.
2. The organization of data into __________, _____________, and ____________.
3. The drawing of _________________ from an analysis of data.
Here are some ways to organize data:
Dot plots: ______________________________________________________________________________
1. What does this graph tell us about who watched this television show?
2. Can you make a conclusion about the type of show this data is about?
Frequency Histograms: _________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
Cumulative Frequency Histogram: ______________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
3. Is this a frequency histogram or a cumulative frequency histogram?
4. What do you think this graph is telling us about the population of Kenya?
5. Why might we want to study the data represented by this graph?
6. Based on your previous work with histograms, would you describe this histogram as representing a symmetrical or a skewed distribution? Explain your answer.
Box Plots: ______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
7. What does the box plot tell us about the number of pets owned by the thirty students at Binder City High School?
8. Why might understanding the data behind this graph be important?
9. What percent of the people in this experiment have 0 – 1 pets? 0 – 2? 0 – 5? 0 – 10?
**Remember**
• Think of each graph as telling a story
• Graphs of distributions are often the starting point in understanding the variability in the data.
• The types of graphs in the previous exercises will be analyzed in more detail in the days that follow!
MEASURES OF CENTER AND SPREAD (Day 2)
• Mean ([pic]): The _________ of the data values _______________ by how many values.
• Median (Q2 or ____%): The _____________ value when data is in _____________!!!
o If there is no single middle number, take the average of the two middle numbers.
• Mode: The data value that ____________________________ occurs.
o No mode: If each number in a set of data occurs with the same frequency.
o Bimodal: When a set of data has two modes.
Quartile: When data is in numerical order, the number that separates data into _____ equal parts.
• 1st Quartile (Q1 or Lower Quartile or ____%): The ___________________ of the _________________ half.
• 3rd Quartile (Q3 or Upper Quartile or ____%): The ___________________ of the _________________ half.
Range: The __________________________ between the _____________________ and ______________________ data values.
Interquartile Range (IQR): The __________________________ between _____ and _____.
Data Set 1: Pet owners
Students from Binder City High School were randomly selected and asked, “How many pets do you currently own?” The results are recorded below:
1. Calculate the mean number of pets owned by the thirty students from Binder City High School. Calculate the median number of pets owned by the thirty students. Calculate the mode.
Data Set 2: Length of the east hallway at Binder City High School
Twenty students were selected to measure the length of the east hallway. Two marks were made on the hallway’s floor, one at the front of the hallway and one at the end of the hallway. Students were asked to use their meter sticks to determine the length between the marks to the nearest tenth of a meter. The results are recorded below:
Now it’s your turn!! Create a dot plot for the data above.
1. Why do you think that different students got different results when they measured the same distance of the east hallway?
2. Calculate the mean, median, and mode for this data.
Data Set 3: Age of cars
Twenty-five car owners were asked the age of their cars in years:
Make a dot plot for the ages of cars:
1. Describe the distribution of the age of cars. Find the median and mean. Would you use the median or the mean to describe a typical age of a 25-year old car? Why??
VARIABILITY/DEVIATION (Day 3)
Warm-up: Twenty-two students from the junior class and twenty-six students from the senior class at River City High School participated in a walkathon to raise money for the school’s band. Dot plots indicating the distances in miles students from each class walked are shown below:
Estimate the mean for both graphs and put an “X” where you think it is.
What is the median distance for the seniors?
What is the median distance for the juniors?
Would you use the mean or median to describe the typical distance for the seniors? Why?
Would you use the mean or median to describe the typical distance for the juniors? Why?

3. Place dots at the values of the five number statistical summary.
4. Draw a box between the dots that represent the lower and upper quartiles, and a vertical line in the box through the point that represents the median.
5. Add the whiskers by drawing a line segment from the minimum value to the box and a line segment from the maximum value to the box.
