  1. Univariate Distributions Overview

  2. I. Exploring Data Describing patterns and departures from patterns (20%-30%) Exploring analysis of data makes use of graphical and numerical techniques to study patterns and departures from patterns. Emphasis should be placed on interpreting information from graphical and numerical displays and summaries.

  3. I. Exploring Data • Constructing and interpreting graphical displays of distributions of univariate data (dotplot, stemplot, histogram, cumulative frequency plot) • Center and spread • Clusters and gaps • Outliers and other unusual features • Shape

  4. Multiple Choice Questions • Read and think for one minute, and write your answer. • Discuss with group members for 30 seconds and decide on a final answer. • Discuss as a group for as long as we need to. . .
