Q DATA DAY 1 In this first Data Day assignment, you are going to examine a Data Set called Student Survey. This survey had a lot of information gathered on students in an anonymous school in this county. You will work on a representative (random) sample from that survey. Someone forgot to leave a description of the variables. Today, you are to do two main things: A. Choose three quantitative and 4 categorical variables. Describe each one as thoroughly as you can and tell me what question you think was asked to result in the answers that were given. and B. Use technology to make a graph or table for each of the variables you chose that will, in your opinion, be best able to communicate, to anyone interested, the results of each of the seven survey questions. Your instructor will give you directions at the beginning of class for the following: 1. load excel data into SPSS (or STATCRUNCH or JASP) 2. create simple graphs, including bar graphs, pie charts, and histograms 3. find the mean, mode and median 4. copy information from the results of 3 and paste them into MSWord Save your MSWord document in the following manner: your last name, your first initial, your student ID number, DD1. So, if I am Sue Jones ID 99999999, my document would be saved as joness99999999DD1. Get this information from your instructor. Submit this through BB by 11:59 on Data Day1. If your assignment is not submitted on time, one point will be taken off for each minute late. The lowest possible grade will be zero(0). Your assignment will be graded in the following manner. Followed directions: Proficient: 3 points-- No corrections were necessary; no additional instruction needed Competent: 2 points-- Student understands, did the work appropriately but had some errors/Student demonstrates understanding but needs practice Novice: 1 point-- Student demonstrates lack of understanding/student still learning Not Applicable: 0 points-- Student didn't do this portion of the project. Total possible, 3 points For each variable, Reasonableness of proposed survey questions Proficient: 3 points-- No corrections were necessary; no additional instruction needed Competent: 2 points-- Student understands, did the work appropriately but had some errors/Student demonstrates understanding but needs practice Novice: 1 point-- Student demonstrates lack of understanding/student still learning Not Applicable: 0 points-- Student didn't do this portion of the project. Total possible, 3 points For each variable, Verbal description of variables Proficient: 3 points-- No corrections were necessary; no additional instruction needed Competent: 2 points-- Student understands, did the work appropriately but had some errors/Student demonstrates understanding but needs practice Novice: 1 point-- Student demonstrates lack of understanding/student still learning Not Applicable: 0 points-- Student didn't do this portion of the project.
