Chapter 10: StatisticsLesson 10-1: Make PredictionsVocabulary Start-Up deal with collecting, organizing, and interpreting data. A is a method of collecting information. The group being studied is the_________________________. Sometimes the population is very large. To save time and money, part of the group, called a , is surveyed. 473392541529000Example 1: The students in Mr. Blackwell’s class brought photos from their summer break. The table shows how many students brought each type of photo. What is the probability that a student brought a photo taken at a theme park?P(theme park) = #?of?theme?park?photos#?of?students?with?photo=1128So, the probability is 1128.Example 2: There are 560 students at the school where Mr. Blackwell teaches. Predict how many students would bring in a photo taken by a theme park. 1128=s5601128=220560Of the 560 students, you can expect about 220 to bring a photo from a theme park. Got it? 1 & 2A survey found that 6 out of every 10 students have a blog. What is the probability that a student at the school has a blog? Suppose there are about 250 students at the school. About how many have a blog? Example 3: A survey found that 85% of people use emoticons of their instant messengers. Predict how many of the 2,450 students at Washington Middle School use emoticons. n = 0.85 2,450n = 2,082.5About 2,083 students use emotions.504825039052500Example 4: A circle graph shows the results of a survey in which children ages 8 to 12 were asked whether they have a television in their bedroom. Predict how many out of 1,725 students would not have a television in their bedroom? p = 0.54 1,725p = 931.5About 932 students do not have a TV in their room.Got it? 3 & 4Refer to Example 4. Predict how many out of 1,370 students have a TV in their bedroom. Guided Practice:489585028003500The table shows the results of a survey of Hamilton Middle School seventh graders. Use the table to find the following probabilities. 1. the probability of choosing a career in public service _________2. the probability of choosing a career in education _________3. the probability of choosing a career in sports _________4. Predict how many students out of 400 will enter the education field. _________5. Predict how many students out of 500 will enter the medical field. _________4705350421005006. Use the circle graph that shows the results of a poll to which 60,000 teens responded. Predict how many of the approximately 28 million teens in the United States would buy a music CD if they were given $20. Journal: When can statistics be used to gain information about a population from a sample? Lesson 10-2: Unbiased and Biased SamplesAn is selected so that it accurately represents the entire population. Unbiased SamplesTypeDescriptionExampleEach item or person in the population is as likely to be chosen as any other. Each student’s name is written on a piece of paper. the names are placed in a bowl and the names are picked without looking. The items or people are selected according to a specific time or item interval. Every 20th person is chosen from an alphabetical list of all students attending a school. An , one or more parts of the population is favored over others. Biased SamplesTypeDescriptionExampleConsists of members of a population that are easily accessed. To represent all the students attending a school, the principal surveys the students in one math class. Involves only those who want to participate in the sampling. Students at a school who want to share their opinion on a certain topic are surveyed. Example 1: Determine whether the conclusion is valid. Justify your answer. A random sample of students at a middle school shows that 10 students prefer listening to rock, 15 students prefer listening to hip hop, and 25 students refer no music while they exercise. It can be concluded that half the students prefer no music while they exercise.This is a simple random sample, so the conclusion is valid.Example 2: Determine whether the conclusion is valid. Justify your answer. Every tenth person who walks into a department shore is surveyed to determine his or her music preference. Out of 150 customers, 70 state they prefer rock music. The manager concludes that about half of all customers prefer rock music.This is a systematic random sample, so the conclusion is valid.Example 3: Determine whether the conclusion is valid. Justify your answer. The customers of a music store are surveyed to determine their favorite leisure time activity. The results are shown in the graph. The store manager concludes that most people prefer to listen to music in the spare time.This is a biased convenience sample, so the conclusion is valid.Got it? 1 – 3Determine whether the conclusion is valid. Justify your answer. A radio station asks its listeners to indicate their preference for one or two candidates in an upcoming election. Seventy-two percent of the listeners who responded preferred candidate A, so the radio station announced that candidate A would win the election. 430530026225500Example 4: A store sells 3 types of pants and the survey results are shown on the table. If 450 pairs of pants are ordered, how many should be jeans?First, is this a valid sample method? ________How many were surveyed? __________ 2550 or 50% of the customers prefer jeans. Find 50% of 450.0.5 x 450 = 225, so about 225 pairs of jeans should be ordered.Guided Practice:3895725631825001. Zach is trying to decide which of the three golf courses is the best. He randomly surveyed people at a sports store and recorded the results in that table. Is the sample method valid? If so, suppose Zach surveyed 150 more people. How many people would be expected to vote for Rolling Meadows? 2. To find how much money the average American family spends to cool their home, 100 Alaskan families are surveyed at random. Of the families, 85 said that they spend less than $75 per month on coolling. The reasrcher concluded that average American family spends less than $75 on colling per month. Is the conclusion valid? Explain. Journal: How is using a survey one way to determine experimental probability? Lesson 10 – 3: Misleading Graphs and StatisticsExample 1: Explain how the graphs differ.Graph A uses intervals of 4, while Graph B uses intervals of 2.What graph appears to show a sharper increase in price? Graph B makes it appear that prices are more rapidly.Which graph might the Student Council use to show that while ticket prices have risen, the increase is not significant? Why?They might use Graph A. The scale used on the vertical axis makes the increase appear less significant.Got it? 1The line graphs show monthly profits of a company from October to March. Which graph suggests that the business is extremely profitable? Is this a valid conclusion? Explain.465772525019000Example 2: An amusement park boosts that the average height of their roller coasters is 170 feet. Explain how this might be misleading. Mean: 109+135+115+365+1265 = 8505 = 170Median: 109, 115, 126, 135, 365Mode: noneThe average or mean, is much greater than most of the rides. This is misleading to attract more visitors.Got it? 2Find the mean, median, and mode of the sofa prices shown in the table. Which measurement might be misleading in describing the average cost of a sofa? Explain. -857254699000Guided Practice:1. According to the graph, how many wins does Jim Galvin have? Is this valid conclusion? Explain. 2. The graph shows the results of a survey to determine students’ favorite pets. Why is the graph misleading? 3. The table lists the five largest land vehicle tunnels in the United States. Write a convincing argument for which measure of cent you would use to emphasize the average length of the tunnels. Journal: Describe at least two ways in which the display of data can influence the conclusions reached. Lesson 10-4: Compare PopulationsA consists of two box plots graphed on the same number line. A consists of two dot plots on the same number line. 357187523749000Compare and and . Example 1: Compare the centers and variations, 65722518288000write an inference you can draw about the two populations. Neither are symmetric, so use median to compare the center, and the IQR to compare the variation. Math Class Median: 10Science Class Median: 20Math Class IQR: 20 – 5 = 15 Science Class IQR: 20 – 15 = 10Overall, the science class posted more blogs than the math class. The median for the science class is twice the median for the math class. There is a greater spread of data around the median for the math class and the science class. Got it? 1The double box plot shows the costs of MP3 players at two different stores. Compare the centers and variations of the two populations. Write an inference you can draw about the two populations. Review Mean Absolute Deviation:Step 1: Find the meanStep 2: Answer this question: what is the difference between each value and the mean? Step 3: Find the mean of those differences found in Step 2. TRY: Find the mean absolute deviation of these values: {55, 55, 60, 60, 60, 65, 65, 65, 70, 70, 70, 75, 75, 80}Example 2: Compare the centers and variations, Write an inference you can draw about the two populations. 08255000Both are symmetric, so use mean to compare the center, and the mean absolute deviation to compare the variation. While both cities have the same variation, or spread of data about each of their means, Lake City has the greater mean temperature. Got it? 2The double dot plot shows the number of new E-mails in each of Pedro’s and Annika’s inboxes for sixteen days. Compare the centers and variations of the two populations. Write an inference you can draw about the two populations. Example 3: Compare the centers and variations of the two populations. Which company has the greater number of daily participants? Treetop Tours Median: 70Zip Adventures Median: 50Treetop Tours IQR: 30Zip Adventures IQR: 20Treetop Tours, overall, has a greater number of daily participates.-952536830000Example 4: The double plot shows Jada’s and Angel’s number of hours worked. Compare the centers and variations. Who typically works more hours in a week? Jada’s Median: 8Jada’s IQR: 2Angel’s Median: 8Angle’s IQR: 2The median and IQR are the same, but the IQR for Angel’s number of hours worked is the difference of 10 and 8, while the IQR for Jada’s hour is 9 and 7. So Angel typically works more hours per week. Got it? 3 & 4The double dot plot shows Kareem’s and Martin’s race times for a three-mile race. Compare the centers and variations of the two populations. Which runner is more likely to run a faster race? Guided Practice:1. The double dot plot below shows the quiz scores out of 20 points for two different class periods. Compare the centers and variations of the two populations. Round to the nearest tenth. Write an inference you can draw about the two populations. 2. The double box plot shows the speeds of cars recorded on two different roads in Hamilton Country. Compare the centers and variations of the two populations. On which roads are the speeds greater? Journal: Marcia recorded the daily temperatures for two cities for 30 days. The two populations have similar centers, but City A has a greater variation than City B. For which city can you more accurately predict the daily temperature? Explain. Lesson 10 – 5: Select an Appropriate DataType of DisplayBest Used to…Show the number of items in specific categoriesShow measures of variation for a set of data; also useful for very large sets of dataCompare parts of the data to the wholeCompare two sets of categorical dataShow frequency of data divided into equal intervalsShow change over a period of timeShow frequency of data with a number lineWhen deciding what type of display to use, ask these questions. What type of information is given?What do you want the display to show?How will the display be analyzed?Example 1: Select an appropriate display to show the number of boys of different age ranges that participate in athletics. 2667001270000Since the display will show an interval, a histogram would be an appropriate display.Got it? 1Select an appropriate display for the percent of students in each grade at middle school. Example 2: Select an appropriate type of display to compare the percent of ethanol production by state. Justify your reasoning. Then construct the display. What can you conclude from your display? 36099757112000Indiana, Minnesota, and Illinois produce the same amount of ethanol. 476250016129000Got it? 2The table lists the tickets prices for school musicals during recent years. Select an appropriate display to predict the price of a ticket in 2013. Justify your reasoning. What can you conclude from your display? Guided Practice: Select an appropriate display for each situation. Justify your reasoning. 1. the number of people who have different types of pets2. the percent of different ways electricity is generated3. The prices of sandwiches at a restaurant are $4.50, $5.59, $3.99, $2.50, $4.99, $3.75, $2.99, $3.29, and $4.19. Selected an appropriate display to determine how many sandwiches range from $3.00 to $3.99. Justify your reasoning. Then construct the display. What can you conclude from your display?4. A survey asked teens which subject they felt was most difficult. Of those who responded, 25 said English, 39 said social studies, 17 said English and social studies equally, and 19 said neither subject. Construct an appropriate display of the data. Justify your reasoning. Then name one thing you can conclude from the display.
