Session I - October 24, 2003

Data Collection & Analysis: An introduction to scatterplots, correlation, and fitting the regression line to data.


Welcome to the ACCLAIM Statistics Followup! 

Today we will go over one of the activities that many of the participants of the Summer 2002 Elementary and High School Statistics Institutes liked.  Height versus Armspan

At the Elementary Statistics level this activity is useful for discussing data collection, plotting data on graphpaper, and talking about linear relationships between data.

At the High School level this activity is useful for reviewing the ideas above and for discussing the ideas of fitting a line to data, correlation, the linear regression line, and prediction.

We will not actually collect the data on height and armspan today.  We will use the data collected in the ACCLAIM Elementary Statistics Institute Summer 2002.  We will...

Session II - October 24, 2003

Baseball Statistics:  An introduction to organizing and graphing data.

 


How good are SF Giant Barry Bonds' career homerun statistics? How does Barry compare to Babe Ruth, Roger Maris, Mark McGwire, and Sammy Sosa? In this workshop we will give an introduction to organizing and graphing data with emphasis on topics appropriate to grades 7-12. Such calculation as the mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation and graphical presentations such as stemplots and boxplots will be presented. Go Giants!

Many sources for data will be given related to sports and other topic. An introduction to the online free statistical software package WebStat will be given and used to further analyze the data presented.
