With a real catapult, FN day participants explored "design of experiments," as they compared how far they can throw a projectile (small ball) under different catapult settings and at various starting lines.
After a brief introduction to different types of data and visualization types, FN day participants choose from a variety of real datasets (including Taylor Swift/Harry Styles songs, local farmer's market offerings, and movie ratings) and used craft supplies to create their own data visualization for the art show!
The Monty Hall Problem is a famous paradox in statistics and probability! Based on the 1960s game show "Let's Make a Deal," FN day participants simulated the game to compare different player strategies and identify the best one.
Breaking into pairs, FN day participants compared their success rates at winning the game "rock, paper, scissors" with their own personal strategy versus drawing one of rock, paper, or scissors totally at random.
Think like a machine learning algorithm to use data to help determine if the missing pet is a dog or a cat based on the characteristics provided.
