Three parts of a complete answer. The tell part is usually the most important! Great examples to follow when doing your homework and classwork. Will be used as closure activities Important Parts of this Textbook

Great section for helping you not make common mistakes.  Chapter Summary  Definitions with page numbers  Think; Show; Tell again

Chapter 2 - Data * Read p. 7 to middle of p. 9 in the book Summary: * Context of the data is absolutely essential before we do anything! * The W’s (and H): Who, What, When, Where, Why, How * Data tables help organize the data * Each row of a data table is called an individual case

* Individuals do not always mean people * Cases are usually from a SAMPLE of a larger POPULATION (hopefully representative) * Individuals = the things that we want to collect data from. People, animals, cars, etc. * POPULATION = ALL individuals that we want to conclude about * SAMPLE = small group of the population that we actually collect data from. Use this data to conclude about the population

Read to middle of p. 11 Variables are the “WHAT” of the data- things that were observed or collected. Two types of variables: 1.Categorical: variable that names categories (words or numeric) 2.Quantitative: variable with numeric values, makes sense to take an average (must have units) - Examples: Colleges/Universities
