INTRODUCTION
Engineers use statistical software to assist in the laborious and extensive calculations. The
statistical packages can easily create a wide variety of graphs to display your data. This
laboratory exercise is designed to enhance your skills and develop your ability to explore
an unknown dataset and present your statistical results using Excel.
Procedure
You will perform analysis on a census dataset called state.x77 which is located on
blackboard.
1. Create a histogram using one of the continuous data columns of the worksheet.
a. Choose a suitable number of bins to represent the variation in the data. The
plot should be formatted and labeled appropriately.
b. Provide interpretations for the plot.
2. Calculate the following descriptive statistics for the population data for each of the
regions.
a. Mean, Median, and Mode
b. Variance, Standard Deviation, and Range
3. Create a BoxPlot to compare population data for the different regions in the United
States.
a. The plot should be formatted and labeled appropriately.
b. Provide interpretations for the plot.
4. Compare and contrast the different regions. Be sure to discuss the variation for each
region.
