The annual precipitation, as measured by the National Weather Service, for Green Ridge, Wisconsin was recorded by environmental scientists interested in climatological changes.


Enter the data, use your calculator to create a histogram (Stat, Edit, then 2nd, y=, select a histogram).

Use ‘window’ to clean up the distribution (Xmin=0, Xmax=60, Xscl=5, Ymin= -1, Ymax=8).
Use ‘graph’ to view the histogram.

Describe the histogram, select all that are correct.
Use the list of actual data for your spread (range).
Use the interval to show the center.
Remember to CUSS about the description, so there are four correct answers.
The shape is unimodal and symmetric.
There is nothing unusual about the data distribution.
The spread is 0 to 60 in.
The spread is 43.3 in.
The shape is bimodal and symmetric.
The shape is bimodal and skewed left.
The shape is bimodal and skewed right.
The center is at 30 to <35 in.
There is a gap from 35 to <40 in.
The center is at 25 to <30 in.
The shape is unimodal and skewed left.
The shape is unimodal and skewed right.
The center is at 20 to <25 in.
The annual precipitation, as measured by the National Weather Service, for Green Ridge, Wisconsin was recorded by environmental scientists interested in climatological changes.


Think back to #1, the description of the histogram.
Which summary statistics (mean and Std Dev OR Median and IQR) would be appropriate for describing the data distribution?
Why?
Select the two correct answers.
The mean and standard deviation
The data distribution is skewed to the right.
The data distribution is skewed to the left.
The data distribution is symmetric.
Cannot be determined.
The median and IQR
The annual precipitation, as measured by the National Weather Service, for Green Ridge, Wisconsin was recorded by environmental scientists interested in climatological changes.


Refer to #2, the 5# summary.
Calculate the IQR.
Describe (interpret) what it shows.
Select the two correct answers.
The upper 50% of the data.
The middle 50% of the data.
21.2
The lower 50% of the data.
24.9
18.5
No, it is above the upper fence.
No, it is not above the upper fence.
Yes, it is above the upper fence.
Yes, it is not above the upper fence.
It cannot be determined.
Median and IQR because the data is skewed.
Mean
Decrease
Range
Increase
50% of the precipitation is less than 27.3 in.
Median
75% of the precipitation is less than 40.9 in.
IQR
19.7 - 40.9 in., the middle 50% of the precipitation values.
