Use the data and the maps to create a bar graph showing where the infected people were traveling from.
It's difficult to analyze the data in list form. Start your analysis by creating a dot plot and then comparing the mean ages.
Make a dot plot of the ages of your patients. Color code the zombie ages green and the recovered ages blue.
What do you notice about the dot plot? What conclusions can you draw about whether or not someone will turn into a zombie if they get Virus X?
Find the mean age of people who became zombies. Show your work.
Do both means give a good picture of the data or are they misleading? If you had to give an update to the media, would you share the information about the means? Explain.
Determine the most common symptoms experienced by people who become zombies by completing a frequency table:
fever
nausea
headache
stomachache
cough
Write a short article that can be published on the CDC's website explaining everything you've discovered about Virus X. (ages, symptoms, US states)
A new patient has come to you for assistance: "Hello, my name is Dana. I'm 31 years old, and I'm from South Carolina. I've had a variety of symptoms: headaches, a fever, and a rash. Do you think I will recover or become a zombie?"
"How many days do you think it will take?" Use the mean, median and range to determine how many days it might take and how much it might vary.
Range:
Mean:
Median:
Provide Dana with a detailed overview of what to expect, using the mean, median and range to support your answers.
