Quantitative Data

In class students took their first quiz on categorical data.  Afterwards, students were introduced to quantitative data and the 4 distributions used to display quantitative data:

                                      1. Histograms
                                      2. Stem and Leaf Plots
                                      3. Dot Plots
                                      *4. Box Plots (used to compare 2 or more distributions)

Students also learned how describe quantitative distributions:

                                       1. Shape - a. symmetry/b. modes
                                       2. Center - a. mean/ b. median
                                       3.Spread - a. Standard Deviation/b. Interquartile Range (IQR)

The notes are attached and the homework is listed below.
