Recent Changes

I chose these videos because they talk about the topic, outliers and because they explain and teach you how to work with outliers. It deeply explains what an outlier is and how you would you or solve for an outlier when working with one. These videos teach me because they have a lot of information and they clearly explain to you , they talk and explain alot to where I can take all of the information in . Its not hard to learn about these videos when you have people that slowly teach it to you.
I chose these videos because its about quartiles. In the two videos they talk and explain about how you can get quartiles in math. They don't talk very fast so I can understand them very well. The lady writes on her board as she explains the information about the quartiles. The videos are very explanatory.
I picked these two videos based off the topic off of box plots. I personally picked these videos because I personally liked them. The videos explain thoroughly how solve box plots in algebra. They explain to you in the simplest way so you can learn the material fast. The people write down what they talk about so you can see it.

I picked these two videos because they are based and focused on median and mode. Both of the videos i chose were easy to understand. The people show the simple way to do the problem. The video gets you ready to do the problem in a easy way. You will learn it faster than you watched it.

I picked my first 2 videos on mean, median, and mode. These 2 videos explain thouroughly how you u get the standard deviation. They are regular videos. In the 2 videos they break it down in different ways. The first video uses some cards. IN the second video the lady breaks each of ways down on a board.

I chose the videos because both explain in great detail. This specifally helped me because even though some of the things that were said weren't the easiest to understand but they still explained them and pointed out anything in the video that may have left me wondering. The first video helped me learn because even though he was in the video explaining things he was also writing on a board and speaking clearly. The second video helped me learn because he wasn't in the video at all, but he showed me everything on screen and gave visual lesson as well as good explanations. I also learned that there is more than one quartile in one set. There could be a Q2 (quartile 2) which is one of the four sections in the data set.
The two videos above are two examples of data representations. The two videos I chose are one about box plots and one about histograms. In the first video about box plots there was no one in the video, but a clear voice talking. In the video they gave a scenario with data in order to put the numbers into a box plot and explain the way to set it up and get the answers. The video about histograms included a man in the video but he also wrote on a board. He also gave a scenario and explained the numbers and everything you're gonna do as well as writing on the board.
Reflection Questions
1. My data is about teen statistics. I did three different sets of teen statistics. My statistics included the percent of high school grads in 1990, births to single teens in 1991, and the percent of children in poverty in 1991. I believe the data was accurate, but I don't know for sure. I used the calculator so I think all the information is correct.
2. I chose this topic because they were under the topic "teen statistics" and I am a teen. I feel like the topic is one that should be important to all teens. I believe that this should be a topic that all teens should feel that is important so they don't become apart of the statistic and also so they can know they aren't alone if they do. After reading and calculating this information I currently feel that now that I know all the information I am going to try my hardest not to become apart of the statistics.
3. Based on my data I can conclude that the statistics of this data are only going to grow in number as the generations go on. I can also conclude that this is something that needs to be looked at more often and that somebody should take the time to talk to teenagers about it and the consequences of it so that they understand that it's definitely not cool to have children in high school, and that you don't wanna live in poverty all your life.
4. The information that would make my data stronger and more reliable is if the information was updated and matched the data that could be collected now in 2013. It's hard to relate to information given in the 1990's because times have changed and different things have happened. I believe that if the data was given from 2013 it would have made the project more interesting because it would be about the world I live in today.
5. Something I would like to see change regarding the topic I picked is the probability of it happening in the US. I would also like to see the numbers of people in poverty and the births to single teens go down. I think that the numbers don't really change and people don't really think or talk about it because people don't really look into this type of information often.
6. This topic concerns me because it's under "teen statistics" and I am a teen and everyday I'm doing everything I can not to become apart of the group of births to single teens and children in poverty. Now that I know this information I can look into it more and look data up from 2013 so I know if the numbers have changed in a positive or negative way. This effects me because it's happening in the world around me and I'm living with it everyday.
7. I learned that African Americans aren't the only people who go through things like this. I also learned that the numbers in the US aren't as bad as I expected, but could definitely be better. Three positives about this project were that there were deadlines so I couldn't procrastinate, I could make a lot of the decisions myself, and we were given a long window of time to complete it. Three negatives about this project were that not only did we have to do this project we also have a final, we couldn't do it with a partner, and it was a lot of writing/typing. I wouldn't change anything about this project because I think I did fairly well. My favorite part of this project is the reflection part because I am able to give my opinion.
