Question

This investigation will involve measuring how high people can jump. Use of tools, such as tape measures and rulers, should be considered.

1. Collect data.

2. Calculate the means and the five-number summaries for the entire sample and for each of your categories of the qualitative variable (e.g., for male and for female) and make a chart that presents those statistics.

3. Create comparative boxplots for the different groups (e.g., male and female).

4. Describe where your own jump-height falls in relation to your data sets. Use measures of position such as percentile and quartile.

5. Consider jump-heights and the qualitative variable you have chosen. Discuss and determine which should be the independent and which should be the dependent variable. Then create a scatterplot.  

The data can be made up, but please make it accurate (dont say that a person jumped a mile in height). Let the sample size be at least 10.

Answer 1

1. Collect data.

2. Calculate the means and the five-number summaries for the entire sample and for each of your categories of the qualitative variable (e.g., for male and for female) and make a chart that presents those statistics.

3. Create comparative boxplots for the different groups (e.g., male and female).

4. Describe where your own jump-height falls in relation to your data sets. Use measures of position such as percentile and quartile.

My jump height is 16 inches.
Hence it lies at 30th percentile and in the 1st Quartile.

  

Jump- height is the independent variables and de
