Descriptive statistics
NOTE: Directions for
all labs are given based on Excel 2013 for Windows. If you have another version
of Excel, you may need to research how to do the same steps.
Data in Excel
Ø Excel is a powerful,
yet user-friendly, data analysis software package. You can launch Excel by
finding the icon and double clicking on it. There are detailed instructions on how to
obtain the graphs and statistics you need for this lab in each question. There
is also a link to an Excel how to document on the iLab page where you opened
this file. Further, if you need more explanation of the Excel functions you can
do an internet search on the function like “Excel standard deviation” or “Excel
pivot table” for a variety of directions and video demonstrations.
Ø Data have already
been formatted and entered into an Excel worksheet. You will see the link on
the page with this lab document. The names of each variable from the survey are
in the first row of the worksheet. All other rows of the worksheet represent
certain students’ answers to the survey questions. Therefore, the rows are
called observations and the columns are called variables. Below, you will find
a code sheet that identifies the correspondence between the variable names and
the survey questions.
SurveyCode Sheet: Do NOT answer these questions. The code sheet
just lists the variables name and the question used by the researchers on the
survey instrument that produced the data that are included in the Excel data
file. This is just information. The first question for the lab is after the
code sheet.

Frequency
Distributions
1. 1. Create a frequency table for the variable
State.In the Excel file, you can click on Data and then Sort and choose State as the variable on which to sort. Once sorted,
you can count how many students are from each state. From that table, use a
calculator to determine the relative percentages, as well as the cumulative
percentages.
In the box below, type
the states from the database in a column to the left, then type the counts, and
relative and cumulative frequencies to the right of the respective state. Using
the data in the table, make a statement about what the frequency counts or
percentages tell about the data.
Creating Graphs
2. 2. Create a bar chart for the frequency table
in Question 1. Select the State variable values. Click onInsertand then click on the arrow on the bottom
right of the Charts area and select Clustered Columnand click OK.
(Again, different versions of Excel may need different directions.) Add an
appropriate title and axis label. Copy and paste the graph here.
3. 3. Create a pie chart for the variable Car.
Select the column with the Car variable, including the title of Car. Click on Insert, and then Recommended Charts. It should show a clustered column and click OK. Once the chart is shown, right click on the
chart (main area)and select Change Chart Type. Select Pie and OK.
Click on the pie slices, right click Add Data Labels, and select Add Data Callouts. Add an appropriate title.Copy and paste the
chart here.
4.
4. Create a histogram
for the variable Height. Use the strategies in the text to create a frequency
table of the heights using the categories of 60–64, 65–69, 70–74, and 75–79. It
may be helpful to sort the data based on the Height variable first. Create a
new worksheet in Excel by clicking on the + along the bottom of the screen and
type in the categories and the frequency for each category. Then, select the
frequency table, click on Insert, then Recommended Charts and choose the column chart shown and click OK. Right-click on one of the bars and select Format Data
Series. In the pop up box,
change the Gap Width to 0. Add an appropriate title and axis label.Copy and paste the
graph here.
5. 5. Create a stem and leaf chart for the
variable Money, using only the whole dollar amounts. This must be done by hand,
as Excel cannot do this type of chart. Using the tens value as the stem and the
ones value for the leaves, type a stem and leaf plot into the box below. It may
be helpful to sort the data based on the Money variable first.
Calculating Descriptive Statistics
6. 6. Calculate descriptive statistics for the
variable Height by Gender. Click on Insert and then Pivot Table. Click in the top box and select all the data
(including labels) from Height through Gender. Also click on new worksheet and
then OK. On the right of the new sheet, click on
Height and Gender, making sure that Gender is in the Rows box and Height is in the Values box. Click on the down arrow next to Height in the Values box and select Value Field
Settings. In the pop up box,
click Average,thenOK. Type in the averages below. Then, click on the down arrow next
to Height in the Values box again and select Value Field Settings. In the pop
up box, click on StdDevthenOK. Type the standard deviations below.

Ø Select File > Save Worksheet As to save the data set. You must either keep a
copy of this data or download it again off the website for future labs.

and the mean for the heights of females in these data. Compare the values and
explain what can be concluded based on the numbers.

class.Compare the values and explain what can be concluded based on the
numbers.

Short Answer Writing
Assignment
All answers should be
complete sentences.
We need to find the
confidence interval for the SLEEP variable. To do this, we need to find the
mean and then find the maximum error. Then we can use a calculator to find the
interval, (x – E, x + E).
First, find the mean.
Under that column, in cell E37, type =AVERAGE(E2:E36). Under that in cell E38, type =STDEV(E2:E36). Now we can find the maximum error of the
confidence interval. To find the maximum error, we use the “confidence”
formula. In cell E39, type =CONFIDENCE.NORM(0.05,E38,35). The 0.05 is based on the confidence level of
95%, the E38 is the standard deviation, and 35 is the number in our sample. You
then need to calculate the confidence interval by using a calculator to
subtract the maximum error from the mean (x-E) and add it to the mean (x+E).
1. 1. Give and interpret the 95% confidence
interval for the hours of sleep a student gets. (5 points)
Then, you can go down
to cell E40 and type =CONFIDENCE.NORM(0.01,E38,35) to find the maximum error for a 99% confidence
interval. Again, you would need to use a calculator to subtract this and add
this to the mean to find the actual confidence interval.
2. 2. Give and interpret the 99% confidence
interval for the hours of sleep a student gets. (5 points)
3. 3. Compare the 95% and 99% confidence
intervals for the hours of sleep a student gets. Explain the difference between
these intervals and why this difference occurs. (10 points)
4. 4. Find the mean and standard deviation of the
DRIVE variable by using =AVERAGE(A2:A36) and =STDEV(A2:A36). Assuming that this variable is normally
distributed, what percentage of data would you predict would be less than 40
miles? This would be based on the calculated probability. Use the formula =NORM.DIST(40,
mean, stdev,TRUE). Now determine the
percentage of data points in the dataset that fall within this range. To find
the actual percentage in the dataset, sort the DRIVE variable and count how
many of the data points are less than 40 out of the total 35 data points. That
is the actual percentage. How does this compare with your prediction? (15
points)

Mean ______________
Standard deviation ____________________
Predicted percentage

Actual percentage

Comparison
___________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________

5. 5. What percentage of data would you predict
would be between 40 and 70 and what percentage would you predict would be more
than 70 miles? Subtract the probabilities found through =NORM.DIST(70,
mean, stdev, TRUE) and =NORM.DIST(40,
mean, stdev, TRUE) for
the “between” probability. To get the probability of over 70, use the same =NORM.DIST(70,
mean, stdev, TRUE) and
then subtract the result from 1 to get “more than”. Now determine the
percentage of data points in the dataset that fall within this range, using
same strategy as above for counting data points in the data set. How do each of
these compare with your prediction and why is there a difference? (15 points)
