Description
Upload a document that address the following prompts. Also upload the Excel file you used to create your plots and perform your calculations.
- Download the data ( attached) for this assignment, which gives the particulate matter emissions in grams per gallon of gasoline consumed for a sample of 138 vehicles. Create a histogram of the values using equal bin widths.
- Create a boxplot of the data.
- Calculate a 5-number summary for the data and summarize it in a table.
- The environmental engineers who collected the data will use it to make calculations about air quality. They ask the question: Would mean or median be a better indicator of how much particulate matter the typical car emits? Write a claim that answers this question.
- (a) Write a piece of evidence to support your claim based on the histogram. (b) Write a piece of evidence to support your claim based on the boxplot. (c) Write a piece of evidence to support your claim based on the 5-number summary.
- Which piece of evidence do you feel is most convincing and why? Write 3-4 sentences. There is not a single correct answer to this question.
- Write 2-3 sentences of reasoning that go with the evidence you suggested in the previous question.
