CTE 1:
Pick one of the columns in Data Set 1 other than the Age or Pulse Rates to do a comparison between the Male and Female data.
Do a complete comparison using the methods learned in chapter 3 including boxplots (STATDISK is recommended for constructing the boxplots)
- What does this reveal about the data?
- Have you identified any outliers and considered their effects?
- Describe your observations and explain what your findings could mean.
CTE 2:
Take the same column of data that you used in CTE 1 but now see if there is a correlation between that factor and the AGE of the person. Do this for both males and females. Include a scatterplot (STATDISK or Excel can be used).
- Are the factors correlated? Did you expect that they would be? Explain why or why not. What did your scatterplots suggest? Explain.
- Find the equation of the regression line of each (male and female).
- Predict the value of the factor you chose to study for a 35-year female and a 35-year old male.
- Describe any observations. Include a discussion about causation and lurking variables.
- Explain in a paragraph the difference between the comparisons in this exercise to the study you did in CTE 1
