Penny Stacking By Ricky Benner and Stefanie Richman
Procedure for Penny Stacking • Subjects had to stack as many pennies in piles of 10 as they could in 60 seconds, but they could only stack them on the table one at a time • Though subjects were not supposed to stack pennies in their hand and before placing them on the table, lack of consistent clarity in rules caused the collection of an outlier • Subjects could pick pennies out of the cup, or place them in their hand or on the table

Association between Eye Wear and First Block Class • There is an association between eyewear and first block class because the marginal distribution of eyewear does not equal the conditional distribution of first block class • Same with the marginal distribution of first block class and the conditional distribution of eyewear
Conclusion • Distribution • Slightly right skewed • Median and IQR should be used in data’s description • Outlier present • Close to a normal model • Ricky’s data collection is very different from Stef’s due to differing procedural measures • Association • Eyewear and first block class are not independent of one another
