Chapter Objectives (Chapters 2 and 3):

Collect data and di erentiate between categorical data and quantitative data.

Choose a way to present categorical and quantitative data in a graphical format.

Due Date: Monday, July 3 Statistics Summer 20171 Our goal for this assignment is to collect and present data. You can choose what you would like to collect data about this week, but tracking your food or your exercise or your TV habits or music habits could also be viable choices. Its up to you! Be creative if you wish!

1.First, you will collect (at least) two data sets. One must be categorical (for instance \color of the food," or \food group"). The other must be quantitative (such as umber of calories", or ime of day"). Put this data into an organized list or table. Using a spreadsheet is probably a pretty good idea here.

2.Next, you will present this data. Chapter 2 and 3 give a few traditional presentations and the Five- Thirty-Eight postcards we saw give more inventive approaches. You will choose or invent a clear graphic presentation for each of your data sets. In either case, make a clear key about what you graphic is portraying.

3.Lastly, use technology to compute the mean and standard deviation of your quantitative data set.
