As 91264 (v1) AS 2.9
Introduction - I have chosen to investigate who sends the most amount of text messages in a day between parents and students, from the sample data taken from the 2009 cell phone data sheet. I have used a random sampling method ‘Ran # + 1’, which will give me an unbiased sample space. I predict that students will send more texts messages in a day.
Comments on DATA.
Shape
Parents- the shape for the parents text messages per day is tightly bunched with an unusual extreme figure. (90) This unusual extreme is possibly because she is a young parent that is social.
Students- The shape for students text messages per day is spread more evenly over the range – This is possibly because the students are similar age and at a social age.
Overlap- There is no overlap in the middle 50%, but, the UQ of the parents text messages has the same value as the LQ text messages for the students (5.5).
Confidence Interval
Parents- 3.25< 2 < 7.25
Students- 4.25< 10 < 24.25
If I was to pick another 30 random samples the median for the parents text messages per day would be between 3.25 < 7.25. This is a small range which shows that the amount of text sent per day is a small number.
If I was to pick another 30 random samples the median for the students text messages per day would be between 4.25 < 24.25. This is a large range which shows that the students text message data is spread out more, with more texts being sent overall.
Spread – The middle 50% text messages

educational situations, like in math. The students that grow up believing that they are not genetically math people generally do not work as hard to get better at math.

Still, women continue to be underrepresented in math, science and engineering-related careers, and there’s evidence that girls can lose ground in math under certain circumstances. One factor inhibiting girls is self-confidence, says University of Wisconsin…

Common Core Math Standards Analysis

One of the most controversial topics in mathematics education is the implementation of the Common Core Math Standards. Forty-eight states in the United States have adopted the Common Core Math Standards, excluding Texas and Alaska.
