This investigation will involve measuring how highpeople can jump. Use of tools, such as tape measures and rulers,should be considered.
1. Collect data.
2. Calculate the means and the five-number summaries for theentire sample and for each of your categories of the qualitativevariable (e.g., for male and for female) and make a chart thatpresents those statistics.
3. Create comparative boxplots for the different groups (e.g.,male and female).
4. Describe where your own jump-height falls in relation to yourdata sets. Use measures of position such as percentile andquartile.
5. Consider jump-heights and the qualitative variable you havechosen. Discuss and determine which should be the independent andwhich should be the dependent variable. Then create ascatterplot.
The data can be made up, but please make it accurate (dontsay that a person jumped a mile in height). Let the sample size beat least 10.
