3. Overview Grades/Quiz Homework tonight: Journal Overview of this week

4. Homework from Friday Questions on just the part involving histograms?

5. Histograms: What is the biggest difference between a histogram and a bar graph?

6. Histograms: The bars are always touching Used to describe Quantitative Data – Whereas Bar graphs are used to describe Categorical Data When creating a histogram: – I will never penalize you for what you choose as a “bin width” (within reason) – You need to have a title and label your axis.

7. Histogram of Extra Curricular Activities Let’s create it! First– what’s the context for this data? – Who? – What? – When? – Where? – Why? – How? What kind of variables do we have?

8. Create a histogram Example B: The Cornell Lab or Ornithology holds an annual Christmas Bird Count, in which birdwatchers at various locations around the country see how many different species of birds they can spot.

9. Describing Histograms: SOCS: – Shape: Modal + Symmetric vs. Skewed – Outliers? – Center – Spread

10. Example One:

11. Follow Up: Would you expect the mean to be larger or smaller than the median? – Why?

12. Example Two: Temperature in the Bahamas over the course of a year Temperature Frequency

13. Follow Up Question In the last example, would you expect the mean to be larger or smaller than the median? – Why?

14. Example Three: What’s wrong with this histogram?
