 In​ ​the​ ​data​ ​above,​ ​we​ ​collected​ ​the​ ​Mean,​ ​Median,​ ​Mode,​ ​Q1,​ ​Q3,​ ​IQR,​ ​Range,
Trimmed​ ​Mean,​ ​Standard​ ​Deviation,​ ​Variance,​ ​Coefficient​ ​of​ ​Variation,​ ​Chebyshev
Intervals,​ ​Minimum,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​Maximum.​ ​Our​ ​topic​ ​was​ ​“How​ ​Many​ ​Minutes​ ​of​ ​Homework
did​ ​the​ ​Junior​ ​Class​ ​do​ ​a​ ​Night?”​ ​We​ ​collected​ ​our​ ​raw​ ​data​ ​by​ ​going​ ​around​ ​and​ ​asking
each​ ​student​ ​in​ ​the​ ​class,​ ​in​ ​person,​ ​how​ ​many​ ​minutes​ ​they​ ​spent​ ​doing​ ​homework
each​ ​night.​ ​Many​ ​students​ ​responded​ ​by​ ​saying​ ​they​ ​work​ ​on​ ​their​ ​homework​ ​in​ ​school,
that​ ​is​ ​why​ ​our​ ​Box​ ​and​ ​Whisker​ ​Plot​ ​has​ ​only​ ​one​ ​whisker.
The​ ​mean,​ ​or​ ​average​ ​of​ ​our​ ​data​ ​was​ ​36.725.​ ​This​ ​means​ ​that​ ​on​ ​average,​ ​the
junior​ ​class​ ​works​ ​on​ ​homework​ ​for​ ​about​ ​37​ ​minutes​ ​every​ ​night.​ ​Our​ ​median​ ​was​ ​30.
Our​ ​mode​ ​was​ ​0.​ ​This​ ​means​ ​that​ ​most​ ​the​ ​students​ ​responded​ ​with​ ​saying​ ​that​ ​they
didn’t​ ​spend​ ​any​ ​time​ ​working​ ​on​ ​their​ ​homework​ ​once​ ​they​ ​arrived​ ​at​ ​home​ ​after
school.​ ​We​ ​subtracted​ ​the​ ​highest​ ​value​ ​of​ ​120​ ​minutes​ ​with​ ​the​ ​lowest​ ​value​ ​of​ ​0
minutes​ ​to​ ​find​ ​the​ ​range​ ​of​ ​our​ ​data​ ​to​ ​be​ ​120.​ ​We​ ​calculated​ ​a​ ​5%​ ​trimmed​ ​mean
which​ ​took​ ​two​ ​numbers​ ​off​ ​of​ ​our​ ​data​ ​on​ ​each​ ​end.​ ​This​ ​gave​ ​us​ ​a​ ​average,​ ​or​ ​mean,
of​ ​34.97,​ ​which​ ​is​ ​slightly​ ​lower​ ​than​ ​our​ ​original​ ​mean.​ ​Next,​ ​we​ ​calculated​ ​the​ ​10%
trimmed​ ​mean,​ ​which​ ​took​ ​four​ ​numbers​ ​off​ ​of​ ​our​ ​data​ ​on​ ​each​ ​end.​ ​This​ ​gave​ ​us​ ​an
average​ ​of​ ​33.72​ ​is​ ​also​ ​lower​ ​than​ ​our​ ​actual​ ​mean.​ ​The​ ​standard​ ​deviation​ ​of​ ​our
numbers​ ​was​ ​34.1,​ ​which​ ​is​ ​large,​ ​meaning​ ​that​ ​the​ ​numbers​ ​in​ ​our​ ​data​ ​set​ ​were
spread​ ​out.​ ​Our​ ​variance​ ​was​ ​1162.61.​ ​We​ ​calculated​ ​the​ ​variance​ ​by​ ​squaring​ ​the
standard​ ​deviation.​ ​ ​The​ ​Coefficient​ ​of​ ​Variation​ ​was​ ​92.8%.​ ​We​ ​calculated​ ​this​ ​by
taking​ ​standard​ ​deviation​ ​and​ ​dividing​ ​it​ ​by​ ​mean,​ ​then​ ​multiplying​ ​by​ ​100.​ ​The
Chebyshev​ ​intervals​ ​we​ ​used​ ​the​ ​formulas​ ​to​ ​calculate​ ​them​ ​and​ ​the​ ​results​ ​were​ ​31.​ ​47
to​ ​104.85​ ​for​ ​the​ ​75%.​ ​The​ ​88.9%​ ​we​ ​got​ ​-65.556​ ​to​ ​139.016.​ ​For​ ​the​ ​93.8%,​ ​the​ ​results
were​ ​-99.663​ ​to​ ​173.113.
We​ ​calculated​ ​a​ ​5​ ​number​ ​summary​ ​to​ ​get​ ​calculations​ ​to​ ​create​ ​a​ ​box​ ​and
whisker​ ​plot.​ ​The​ ​minimum,​ ​or​ ​the​ ​lowest​ ​number​ ​was​ ​0,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​maximum,​ ​or​ ​the
highest​ ​number​ ​in​ ​our​ ​data​ ​was​ ​120.​ ​For​ ​Q1,​ ​we​ ​got​ ​0​ ​and​ ​for​ ​Q3,​ ​we​ ​got​ ​60.​ ​To
calculate​ ​the​ ​quartiles,​ ​we​ ​found​ ​the​ ​median​ ​of​ ​the​ ​upper​ ​and​ ​lower​ ​halves​ ​of​ ​the​ ​data
set.​ ​Then​ ​to​ ​find​ ​the​ ​IQR​ ​we​ ​subtracted​ ​Q3​ ​from​ ​Q1​ ​and​ ​we​ ​got​ ​60.​ ​The​ ​min,​ ​max,
median,​ ​Q1,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​Q3,​ ​we​ ​used​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Box​ ​and​ ​Whisker​ ​Plot.​ ​Our​ ​box​ ​and​ ​whisker
plot​ ​has​ ​only​ ​one​ ​whisker​ ​because​ ​the​ ​first​ ​quartile​ ​and​ ​the​ ​minimum​ ​are​ ​the​ ​same.​ ​Our
data​ ​set​ ​does​ ​not​ ​have​ ​any​ ​outliers.​ ​All​ ​of​ ​the​ ​calculations​ ​we​ ​did​ ​helped​ ​us​ ​to​ ​conclude
that​ ​our​ ​data​ ​is​ ​spread​ ​out,​ ​but​ ​clustered.​ ​We​ ​have​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​the​ ​same​ ​numbers,​ ​but​ ​they
are​ ​spread​ ​far​ ​apart​ ​from​ ​each​ ​other.
