M&M+Data+Analysis

Now that we have collected our data, you are going to organize it in Open Office. Save as "M&M Data" in World Dynamics folder


 * 1) Highlight any problems you see in the data that was caused by human error
 * 2) Find the Mean, Mode, and Median for M&M colors
 * 3) Graph the average M&M color distribution in a pie chart (include percentages)

EXAMPLE FORMULAS:


 * =AVERAGE(G2:51)
 * =MODE(G2:G51)
 * =MEDIAN(G2:G51)

A note on formulas: be aware that the column letters (e.g. "G" in the above examples) will need to be changed for each column in which you use the formula. For example, the average of rows 2-51 in column H would be entered as "=AVERAGE(H2:H51)" (without the quotes).

REFLECTION QUESTIONS: (Open office document) Save as "M&M Reflection" in World Dynamics Folder


 * What limitations and/or problems did our class encounter while conducting research?
 * What did you do to resolve the human error in your data?
 * What could you do to increase the validity of your average color distribution?
