  1. . . . PENNIES for theAGES. . . • Push the “Sample More Data” button on the screen and read the average age of a sample of 9 pennies taken from the jar. • Note the horizontal and vertical scales on the grid here and then record that (rounded) average age using a properly scaled X. MAT 312

  2. Suppose the Kick-a-Poo Milling Company made this claim about their Raisin Bran: In our 20-ounce box of raisin bran, we average 143 raisins per box. Now suppose you just opened a 20-ounce box of Kick-a-Poo Raisin Bran and accurately counted 174 raisins. Would this number of raisins be a rare occurrence? Would it seem unusual to you? Write a sentence to explain your response. MAT 312

  14. Initial Steps: 1-Variable Data Analysis • Clustersare isolated groups of points. • Gaps are large spaces between data points or between clusters of data points. • Outliers are data values substantially larger or smaller than any other data points. • The maximum value of a data set is the largest value in the set. It is also called the upper extreme. • The minimum value of a data set is the smallest value in the set. It is also called the lower extreme. • The range of a data set is the difference between the maximum and minimum values of a data set. • The mode of a data set is the value that occurs most often in the data set. A data set can have more than one mode, and if no data value occurs more often than any other, there is no mode. MAT 312
