Congratulations! You made it through your first week of distance learning! Give yourself a round of applause. We are so glad you are here with us. We have a few more things to look at before we begin a fun project on US Presidents.
- Correlation versus Causation. What is correlation and causation when it comes to data?
- Watch this video to learn about correlation and causation and to see some excellent examples. It’s all about the evidence!
- Now that you understand correlation and causation here is a Quizizz for you to practice determining the difference (you can sign into Quizizz using your Google credentials).
- You may take the Quizizz as many times as necessary. Try to get a score of 90% correct!
- One more important thing about data… how do you get it? Ahhhh we could talk about this for hours but for today let’s focus on random sampling.
- Start with this video; an introduction to random sampling.
- Just like before, now we will hop on over to Quizizz to see how it’s going. This is a great practice in really understanding how to get data and how to decipher all of the different parts of the data. You’ve got this!
- Shoot for 90% accuracy!.
It’s project time! For the rest of the week you will be working on a project studying the ages of our US Presidents. This is a great way to apply all that you have learned. Interpreting data is really important. So is applying data, and that is what you will be doing for the rest of the week.
3. US Presidents Project Part 1: He Entered a Young Man:*
- Make a box-and-whisker plot by hand of the ages of the US Presidents at the time of their inauguration. Then use that box-and-whisker plot to answer a few questions.
- Here is a short review of box-and-whisker graphs.
- If using all of the data is too overwhelming for you just use half or even a quarter of the data.
4. US Presidents Project Part 2: Oval Office Analysis:*
- Use the data of the presidents to complete a variety of data displays including: stem and leaf plot, histograms, frequency distribution, mean, median, mode, range and box-and-whisker plots. You’ve got this!!
5. US Presidents Project Part 3: Presidential Inquiry:*
- Explore correlations of data to determine if a relationship exists between the number of children a president has and their longevity after inauguration.
*If you don’t have a home printer, you can make the graphs on your own paper or you can use KAMI, a free program that will allow you to write and draw directly on PDF files.
And that, friends, is the end of our unit on statistics. Statistics are everywhere! As you begin to see statistics in everyday life we would love to hear what you notice and how statistics affect your life. Reach out to your teachers!
We look forward to hearing about your progress this week. Be sure to reach out to your Intermediate Algebra teachers if you have any questions or need further explanation. We are here for you!!!
