Here's descriptive statistics for the male and female subpopulations.  Check the work of your group against these results.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS EXCEL FILE

 

Each group will perform the following tasks.

Step #1: Each group will produce a population data description for each quantitative variable shown in the data set.  Each description will include a histogram that should comply with the standards shown on the whiteboard.

Describe A Distribution

Mile Time Histograms (All, Male, Female)

Mile Time Describe Distributions (All, Male, Female)

Step#2: Each group has a team member dedicated to preparing parallel box plot displays for the four quanitative variable fitness tests (Mile Time, Curl Up, Push Up, and Body Mass Index).  Each display will show a boxplot for the females only, and a boxplot for the males only.  In case this work is not completed on time, generic displays are provided below that can be customized as a substitute.  

 


Step #3: Data will be sorted by gender.  Population comparisons (male vs. female) will be completed for each quantitative variable.  

Compare Two Distributions Format


Step #4: Three pie charts will compare the pass rates for the two categorical variables.

Step #5: The components above are assembled in a single report using the format below.  Team leaders will add the required text and take reponsibility for preparing the final report.
