Which is NOT an example of a visual aid?

A) Use the available tools to create the Summary statistics for the monthly milk production values in the chart. Copy and paste the provided chart into the answer field and then insert the values generated in Excel OR StatCrunch. Summary statistics: Column n Mean Variance Std. dev. Median Range Min Max Q1 Q3 Monthly Milk Production B) Create a histogram to display the data in the chart. Set the starting bin value as 1100 and enter a bin width that will generate between 5 and 10 classes. Download the histogram and save the image to your device. Embed the image into the answer field below. C) Based on the shape of the histogram alone, do you think it is appropriate to apply the Empirical Rule? Explain your answer. D) Use the results of the histogram in part B) to create a frequency distribution for the given data set. Copy and paste this provided chart to enter your results. If you have fewer than ten classes, just leave the lower lines of the cart empty. Class Boundaries Frequency

Organization and Presentation a) Create a frequency distribution for the selected variable.  Present the frequency distribution, with all appropriate labels, in the provided answer field as an embedded image. b) Create the histogram that displays the frequency distribution in part a). Present the histogram, with all appropriate labels, in the answer field as an embedded image. c) Create a boxplot for the selected variable and identify the five-number summary. Present the boxplot and five number summary, with all appropriate labels, in the answer field as an embedded image. d) Based on the results of parts a) – c), do you think the mean is the best measure of central tendency for the selected variable? Explain why or why not?  

Review the variables and scan the responses. For each of the measures of center (mean, median,mode), identify a variable that would be best represented by the measure. Determine the measure and explain why it is the best summary option for the selected variable.

When using a live proctor, how would you rate your interaction with your proctor?

For questions 3 and 4, select a variable from calories, sodium, potassium, or rating to use in both questions.

Making comparisons a) Create and interpret a side-by-side box-and-whiskers plot for the variables carbo and sugars. Identify the five-number summary for each variable.  Embed the image, completed with labels, into the answer field. b) What do the boxplots suggest about the shapes of the frequency distribution for the variables carbo and sugars? c) Based on the boxplots and number summaries alone, answer the following: Do you think the mean is greater than, equal to, or less than the median of these variables? Support your answer with references to the boxplot. Which of these two variables do you think has the greater standard deviation? Support your answer with references to the boxplot.

Visual Display a) Prepare an appropriate graphical display of the number of cereals in the study by manufacturer. Download the image from StatCrunch or other tool and embed it into the answer field. b) Identify the type of display selected and explain why your choice is both appropriate and the best option for presenting the information.
