Question

HELP!!!! FAN + MEDAL!!!!

Answer 1

Gather a set of data. Choose a small sample, between 10 and 20 pieces of data, and a simple value to measure, such as the ages of visitors in a park, or the number of text messages each person in your family receives in one day.
Choose a display for your data, such as a frequency table, line plot, histogram, or bar graph. Display your data in your chosen format in a way that is misleading. You may use inconsistent (unequal) intervals, an uneven scale, and so on.
Use your display to draw a misleading inference about the data.
Display your data in the same format, this time making sure that it is not misleading.
Use this display to explain how your first display was misleading.
Use a data measure, such as mean, median, mode, or range, to draw a misleading inference about your data. Explain why the measure is misleading.

Answer 4

I had an almost finished reply and then my computer glitched and it all disappeared. I'll retype a simplified version but it'll take a few mins

Answer 5

awww its ok and thanks :D

Answer 6

First graph involves twenty people working, with their productivity on a chart. The chart appears to show them getting a lot of work done, but is misleading as the graph uses smaller numbers than the total, making it seem as if they get more work done than usual. Is that basically what you were asking for?

Answer 7

this is a project but maybe that will help thanks :D i hate math projects... ;/

Answer 8

It's no fun for me either.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Answer 12

Answer 13

Ages of rescued cats from Main Street


Age | ID #
____|_____
2 w | 123
3 w | 456
4 m | 789
5 w | 124
6 d | 457
7 y | 780
8 w | 125
9 d | 457
10 w| 781
11 m| 126



Accurate:

Age | ID#
_____________
14 d | 123
21 d | 456
122d | 789
35 d | 124
6 d | 457
2556 d| 780
56 d | 125
9 d | 458
70 d | 781
334 d | 126



Incorrect inference: all cats were under 12 weeks of age

Correct inference: all cats are under 366 weeks of age



The first display was misleading because it gave ages in days, weeks, months and years, instead of all in days, like in the second display.

Answer 14

Woah... is that the whole project?!?!? :D

Answer 15

Impressive.

Answer 16

shes really gifted! i can't even do that! xD

Answer 17

You asked a question and I did my best to answer it. My only request is that you spend the time to do this for another student on here someday.

BTW my IQ test says that I'm profoundly gifted, so you are correct. (I'm working on my math and history credits right now @ age 13. It's tough- had a nervous breakdown yesterday over a math test)

Answer 18

Nice work.

Answer 19

lol thanks so much!!! :D i couldn't have done this without you!

Answer 22

its ok i can do one little part you did the rest which im really thankful of! xD

Answer 23

Answer 24

based on your answer @hhopke i think im going to do a frequency table :)

Answer 25

That was the plan- on my first answer I made a full table but this time I did a quick T-chart.

Answer 26

lol thanks :D

Answer 27

Glad I could help.

Answer 28
