An Introduction to Statistics

Statistics Project, September 26, 2005

Collect at least 15 newspaper/magazine clippings or articles that use descriptive statistics as a way of displaying or relating information or data (15 points). Include and label several which are deceptive or exaggerate discrepancies (10 points).

Write a few sentences describing the type of graphical representation, its meaning (15 points), and your opinion of its validity (5 points).

Use clippings/articles which are as current as practical from a variety of sources and on a variety of topics. The Internet may be used for SOME. Include enough information so that the item could be relocated (magazine name, date, page number, etc.) (30 points).

Be neat, organized, (15 points) and use a cover sheet (10 points) with the information on the back of this page centered and nicely spaced. (More than one article per sheet (or sheet per article!) tends strongly to violate neatness and organization.)

Our standard review bonus structure will apply to this assignment.
