Independent Project

Using the data set supplied and StatCrunch, provide the following for the variable(s) of your choice:

Frequency distribution of a variable and bar graph of the same variable 
Descriptives of a continuous variable: mean, median, skewness, kurtosis, standard deviation and graph of that variable 
Cross tabulation of two variables 
Comparison of the effect of three or more groups (single variable) on a single continuous variable 
Scatterplot of two continuous variables 
Correlation between the two continuous variables from #5 above 
Think carefully about what kind of variables to choose for the given tasks.

A short descriptive statement should accompany each of the above including a description of the variables used and any meaning that may be attached to the results. The student must show that she or he is able to synthesize and apply the materials learned in class. Part of the class computer time is expected to be spent on this project. Submit to the appropriate Drop Box in a Word document.

Grading on this project is as follows:

3 points for each task 1-6: 1 point each for variable choice, appropriate display/test, description of result.

2 points for overall format/readability/construct (so make it neat and tidy)
