· Descriptive Statistics
· Empirical Rule
Week 2 iLab Instructions-BEGIN
Ø Data have already been formatted and entered into an Excelworksheet.
Ø Obtain the data file for this lab from your instructor.
Ø The names of each variable from the survey are in the first row of the Worksheet. This row has a
background color of gray to identify it as the variable names. All other rows of the Worksheet
represent a certain students’ answers to the survey questions. Therefore, the rows are called
observations and the columns are called variables. On page 6 of this lab, you will find a code sheetthat
identifies the correspondence between the variable names and the survey questions.
Ø Follow the directions below and then paste the graphs from Excel in the grey areas for question 1
through 3. Type your answers to questions 4 through 11 where noted in the grey areas. When asked
for explanations, please give thorough, multi-sentence or paragraph length explanations.
Ø PLEASE NOTE that various versions of Excel may have slightly different formula commands. For
example, some versions use =STDEV.S while other versions would use =STDEVS (without the dot
before the last “S”).
Ø The completed iLab Word Document with your responses to the 11 questions will be the ONE and
only document submitted to the dropbox. When saving and submitting the document, you are
required to use the following format: Last Name_ First Name_Week2iLab.
Week 2 iLab Instructions-END
Creating Graphs

2. 1. Create a piechart for the variable Car Color: Select the column with the Car variable, including the
title of Car Color. Click on Insert, and then Recommended Charts. It should show a clustered
column and click OK. Once the chart is shown, right click on the chart (main area) and select Change
Chart Type. Select Pie and OK. Click on the pie slices, right click Add Data Labels, and select Add
Data Callouts. Add an appropriate title.Copy and paste the chart here. (4 points)
2. Create a histogram for the variable Height.You need to create a frequency distribution for the data
by hand. Use 5 classes, find the class width, and then create the classes. Once you have the classes,
count how many data points fall within each class.It may be helpful to sort the data based on
the Height variable first. Create a new worksheet in Excel by clicking on the + along the bottom of
the screen and type in the categories and the frequency for each category. Then select the frequency
table, click on Insert, then Recommended Charts and choose the column chart shown and
click OK. Right click on one of the bars and select Format Data Series. In the pop up box, change
the Gap Width to 0. Add an appropriate title and axis label.Copy and paste the graph here. (4 points)
3. Type up a stem-and-leaf plot chart in the box below for the variable Money, with a space between
the stems and the group of leaves in each line.Use the tens value as the stem and the ones value for
the leaves. It may be helpful to sort the data based on the Money variable first.
An example of a stem-and-leaf plot would look like this:
0 4 5 6 9 3
1 5 6 3 6
2 9 2
The stem-and-leaf plot shown above would be for data 4, 5, 6, 9, 3, 15, 16, 13, 16, 29, and 22. (4
points)
Calculating Descriptive Statistics
4. Calculate descriptive statistics for the variable Height by Gender. Click on Insert and then Pivot
Table. Click in the top box and select all the data (including labels)
from Height through Gender. Also click on “new worksheet” and then OK. On the right of the new
sheet, click on Height and Gender, making sure that Gender is in the Rows box and Height is in
the Values box. Click on the down arrow next to Height in the Values box and select Value Field
Settings. In the pop up box, click Averagethen OK. Type in the averages below. Then click on the
down arrow next to Height in the Values box again and select Value Field Settings. In the pop up
box, click on StdDevthen OK. Type the standard deviations below. (3 points)

Statistical Concepts:
· Data Simulation
· Confidence Intervals
· Normal Probabilities
Short Answer Writing Assignment
All answers should be complete sentences.
We need to find the confidence interval for the SLEEP variable. To do this, we need to find the mean
and then find the maximum error. Then we can use a calculator to find the interval, (x – E, x + E).
First, find the mean. Under that column, in cell E37, type =AVERAGE(E2:E36). Under that in cell
E38, type =STDEV(E2:E36). Now we can find the maximum error of the confidence interval. To find
the maximum error, we use the “confidence” formula. In cell E39,
type =CONFIDENCE.NORM(0.05,E38,35). The 0.05 is based on the confidence level of 95%, the
E38 is the standard deviation, and 35 is the number in our sample. You then need to calculate the
confidence interval by using a calculator to subtractthe maximum error from the mean (x-E) and add
it to the mean (x+E).
1. Give and interpret the 95% confidence interval for the hours of sleep a student gets. (5 points)
Then, you can go down to cell E40 and type =CONFIDENCE.NORM(0.01,E38,35) to find the
maximum error for a 99% confidence interval. Again, you would need to use a calculator to subtract
this and add this to the mean to find the actual confidence interval.
2. Give and interpret the 99% confidence interval for the hours of sleep a student gets. (5 points)
3. Compare the 95% and 99% confidence intervals for the hours of sleep a student gets. Explain the
difference between these intervals and why this difference occurs. (5 points)
In the week 2 lab, you found the mean and the standard deviation for the HEIGHT variable for both
males and females. Use those values for follow these directions to calculate the numbers again.
(From week 2 lab: Calculate descriptive statistics for the variable Height by Gender. Click
on Insert and then Pivot Table. Click in the top box and select all the data (including labels)
from Height through Gender. Also click on “new worksheet” and then OK. On the right of the new
sheet, click on Height and Gender, making sure that Gender is in the Rows box and Height is in
the Values box. Click on the down arrow next to Height in the Values box and select Value Field
Settings. In the pop up box, click Averagethen OK. Write these down. Then click on the down arrow

7. next to Height in the Values box again and select Value Field Settings. In the pop up box, click
on StdDevthen OK. Write these values down.)
You will also need the number of males and the number of females in the dataset. You can either use
the same pivot table created above by selecting Count in the Value Field Settings, or you can
actually count in the dataset.
Then in Excel (somewhere on the data file or in a blank worksheet), calculate the maximum error for
the females and the maximum error for the males. To find the maximum error for the females,
type =CONFIDENCE.T(0.05,stdev,#), using the females’ height standard deviation for “stdev” in
the formula and the number of females in your sample for the “#”. Then you can use a calculator to
add and subtract this maximum error from the average female height for the 95% confidence
interval. Do this again with 0.01 as the alpha in the beginning of the formula to find the 99%
confidence interval.
Find these same two intervals for the male data by using the same formula, but using the males’
standard deviation for “stdev” and the number of males in your sample for the “#”.
4. Give and interpret the 95% confidence intervals for males and females on the HEIGHT
variable. Which is wider and why? (7 points)
5. Give and interpret the 99% confidence intervals for males and females on the HEIGHT
variable. Which is wider and why? (7 points)
6. Find the mean and standard deviation of the DRIVE variable by
using =AVERAGE(A2:A36) and =STDEV(A2:A36). Assuming that this variable is normally
distributed, what percentage of data would you predict would be less than 40 miles? This would be
based on the calculated probability. Use the formula =NORM.DIST(40, mean, stdev,TRUE). Now
determine the percentage of data points in the dataset that fall within this range. To find the actual
percentage in the dataset, sort the DRIVE variable and count how many of the data points are less
than 40 out of the total 35 data points.That is the actual percentage. How does this compare with
your prediction? (10 points)
Mean ______________ Standard deviation ____________________
Predicted percentage ______________________________
Actual percentage _____________________________
Comparison ___________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
7. What percentage of data would you predict would be between 40 and 70 and what percentage
would you predict would be more than 70 miles? Subtract the probabilities found
through =NORM.DIST(70, mean, stdev, TRUE) and =NORM.DIST(40, mean, stdev, TRUE) for
the “between” probability. To get the probability of over 70, use the same =NORM.DIST(70, mean,
stdev, TRUE) and then subtract the result from 1 to get “more than”. Now determine the percentage
of data points in the dataset that fall within this range, using same strategy as above for counting
data points in the data set. How do each of these compare with your prediction and why is there a
difference? (11 points)
Predicted percentage between 40 and 70 ______________________________
Actual percentage _____________________________________________
Predicted percentage more than 70 miles ________________________________
Actual percentage ___________________________________________
Comparison ____________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
Why? __________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
